Expert Review and  Insights

You can feel the quality the moment you pick this tray up. It’s a hefty piece of kit that's clearly been designed by someone who understands the brutal environment of a charcoal oven. Unlike standard pans that warp on their first use, this one embraces the heat, providing an incredibly stable and  even cooking surface. It’s a small upgrade that makes a huge difference to consistency.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The cast aluminium provides fantastic heat transfer for a perfect, consistent sear.
  • Consideration: It requires hand-washing and  proper seasoning to maintain its peak performance.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Coal Shed' in Brighton were struggling with standard stainless steel pans that couldn't handle the heat from their newly installed Josper oven. They were replacing warped trays on a weekly basis, which was both costly and  affected their cooking consistency.

"We switched to these official Josper cast aluminium trays and  the difference was immediate. They're incredibly robust and  the heat distribution is phenomenal. Our grilled asparagus has never been more popular, and  we haven't had to replace a single tray in six months."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

The switch resulted in a 90% reduction in pan replacement costs and  a noticeable improvement in food quality and  consistency during busy services.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first use, give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water and  dry it thoroughly.
  • For best results and  to build a non-stick patina, season it with a light coating of cooking oil and  heat it in the oven.
  • Always, always use heavy-duty oven gloves. This tray will reach extremely high temperatures.
  • Ensure it is placed securely on the oven's runners before loading it with food.

Keeping It Going

  • This tray is hand-wash only. A dishwasher's harsh detergents can damage the surface.
  • Avoid using metal scourers or harsh abrasives; a stiff brush and  hot water are usually all you need.
  • Dry the tray immediately after washing to prevent any water spots or corrosion.
  • Its stackable design makes it easy to store, but ensure trays are fully dry before stacking.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN pan is right for your kitchen? Here's a quick rundown to help you decide.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is a great all-rounder, but for extreme heat like a charcoal oven, cast aluminium or iron is essential to prevent warping and  ensure even cooking.

Know Your Size

GN sizing is universal (1/2, 1/1, etc.), making them interchangeable. This Josper compatible 1/2 size gastronorm pan is perfect for sides, smaller mains, or for kitchens with limited oven space.

Depth Perception

A 60mm deep tray is incredibly versatile. It's deep enough for roasting meats with juices or cooking saucy dishes without spillage, offering more flexibility than shallower pans.

Perforated or Solid?

This is a solid tray, designed for roasting, baking, and  holding liquids. If you need to steam or drain fat away from food, you'd look for a perforated version.

Stacking and  Storage

In a busy kitchen, space is a premium. Pans with a sturdy rim or 'stacking lip' are a huge bonus as they can be stored neatly and  safely without getting stuck together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this tray non-stick?

A: No, it is not coated with a non-stick layer. However, like cast iron, it can be seasoned with oil to build up a naturally non-stick patina over time.

Q: Is this tray dishwasher safe?

A: We strongly recommend hand-washing only. Dishwasher detergents can be abrasive and  may damage the cast aluminium surface over time.

Q: What does '1/2 GN' actually mean?

A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, a European standard for kitchenware sizes. A 1/2 GN tray measures 325 x 265mm, meaning two of them will fit perfectly into a full 1/1 GN space.

Q: Can I use this in a standard convection oven?

A: Absolutely. While it's designed for the extreme heat of a Josper, it performs beautifully as a heavy-duty roasting or baking tray in any commercial oven.

Q: Why is cast aluminium better than stainless steel for this?

A: Cast aluminium has superior heat retention and  distribution properties. It won't warp or create hot spots under intense heat, which is a common problem with thinner stainless steel pans.

Q: What's the main benefit of the 60mm depth?

A: The depth makes it highly versatile. It's shallow enough for searing and  roasting, but deep enough to hold sauces, braises, or stocks without spilling over.

Q: Can it be used on an induction hob?

A: No, this tray is made from cast aluminium, which is not magnetic and  therefore not compatible with induction hobs. It is designed for oven use only.

Q: How heavy is it compared to a standard steel pan?

A: At 1.48kg, it is significantly heavier and  more robust than a standard stainless steel pan of the same size, which is key to its durability and  heat performance.

Maria Costa – Bistro Verde, Bristol

"We bought two of these for our Basque grill and  they are fantastic. They get screaming hot and  hold that temperature beautifully."

Leo Jackson – The Anchor & Flame, Whitby

The Josper Difference: Built for the Fire

When you invest in a world-class piece of equipment like a Josper oven, using generic accessories is like putting budget tyres on a performance car. This tray is more than just a piece of metal; it’s an integral part of the Josper cooking system. The collaboration with legendary chef Bittor Arginzoniz isn't a marketing gimmick—it’s a guarantee of professional-grade design, tested and  proven in the most demanding kitchens. Buying this genuine tray is an investment in consistency. It means no more wasted food from uneven cooking, no more replacing warped pans every few months, and  no more second-guessing your equipment. It ensures that the incredible flavour and  texture you expect from charcoal cooking are delivered perfectly, plate after plate. This is about protecting your primary investment and  guaranteeing the quality that your customers return for.

Why Cast Aluminium Beats Steel in the Heat of the Moment

You might wonder why this tray is cast aluminium when most kitchen pans are stainless steel. Think of it like the difference between a thin baking sheet and  a proper cast iron skillet. Your standard steel pan is reactive; it heats up and  cools down fast, and  under the intense, direct heat of a Josper, it's prone to buckling and  developing hot spots. This cast aluminium tray, however, acts more like a heat battery. It takes a little longer to get hot, but it soaks up that incredible charcoal energy and  holds it, distributing it evenly across the entire surface. This means no more burnt bits on one side and  undercooked bits on the other – just a perfect, consistent cook every single time. It's the secret to repeatable results when the pressure is on.

Who Should Buy This?
