Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Frosty Spoon, a popular dessert bar in York, recently switched their entire ice cream display from assorted plastic containers to the Modena NP5 stainless steel Napoli pans. They wanted to create a more cohesive, professional look and  improve the holding temperature of their gelato during busy service periods.

"The difference was immediate. The pans look fantastic in the display cabinet, really smart and  clean. More importantly, our gelato holds its temperature so much better. We're getting less wastage from melted edges and  the team finds scooping much more consistent."

Michael Davies – Owner, The Frosty Spoon

The switch resulted in a noticeable improvement in product consistency and  a 15% reduction in end-of-day product loss due to melting.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Ensure the pan is completely dry before placing it in the freezer to prevent ice sheets forming.
  • Once chilled, fill with your ice cream or gelato, leaving a little space at the top.
  • Place directly into your scooping cabinet – it’s designed for a perfect fit!

Keeping It Going

  • Clean daily after use to maintain hygiene standards. These pans are generally dishwasher safe.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers or steel wool, as this can scratch the surface.
  • For a sparkling finish in your display, give the pan a final polish with a microfibre cloth.
  • Stack carefully when storing to prevent unnecessary dents and  scratches.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ice Cream Pan

Not sure what's best for your setup? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the perfect pans for your business.

Check Your Capacity

The 5 litre Napoli pan is the industry standard, but make sure it matches your freezer space and  typical sales volume for each flavour.

Material Matters

Always opt for a stainless steel gelato container. It's more hygienic, durable, and  far superior at temperature control than plastic alternatives.

The Napoli Shape

This classic rectangular shape isn't just for looks; it's ergonomically designed to make scooping easier and  more efficient.

Plan Your Display

Think about how many pans you need to create a full, enticing display. An empty slot in a cabinet can look unappealing to customers.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for pans with smooth, rounded corners. They're much easier to clean thoroughly, preventing any residue build-up.

A Modena NP5 gelato pan isn't a glamorous piece of tech, but its value lies in its unwavering consistency. This is a product born from understanding the daily grind of a commercial kitchen.

This long-term durability means you aren't replacing equipment every year, saving you money and  hassle. For your customers, it means the first scoop of gelato is just as creamy and  delicious as the last. This commitment to simple, robust, and  effective design is the foundation of a smooth-running, professional operation.

Why Stainless Steel is a Must-Have for Perfect Scoops

Ever wondered why every professional ice cream parlour uses a stainless steel Napoli ice cream pan? It's all down to a bit of science called thermal conductivity. Stainless steel is brilliant at drawing heat away from its contents and  maintaining a cold, stable temperature. Think of it like a chilled metal pint glass versus a plastic cup on a summer's day; the metal one keeps your drink colder for much, much longer. For ice cream and  gelato, this is critical. It prevents the edges from melting quickly under the display lights and  stops tiny, crunchy ice crystals from forming. This simple material choice is the secret to keeping your product beautifully smooth and  creamy from the first scoop to the last, ensuring every customer gets the perfect serve.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Gelaterias: Perfect for creating a professional, uniform, and  enticing display counter for all your artisanal flavours.
  • Cafés & Dessert Parlours: An essential upgrade from plastic tubs for serving scoop ice cream alongside cakes and  coffee.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: Ideal for holding house-made sorbets and  ice creams for the dessert menu, ensuring quality from kitchen to table.
  • Mobile Caterers & Event Stalls: The durable, stackable design makes them brilliant for transporting and  serving at festivals, fairs, and  markets.
