  • Built to Last: The 20-gauge steel feels noticeably tougher than cheaper, flimsy alternatives.
  • No Lids Included: Remember to order lids separately if you need them for storage.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Cumbrian Larder, a popular farm shop café in Keswick, needed to improve the efficiency of their hot lunch buffet. Their existing pans were too shallow, forcing staff to constantly return to the kitchen for refills during the busy tourist season.

"These Modena pans are proper workhorses. They hold a huge amount of stew or chilli, and  they look smart on the servery. We're not constantly running back to the kitchen to top things up during the lunchtime rush, which is a massive help."

David Chen – Head Chef

The switch to these 150mm deep gastronorm containers has cut refill trips during the peak lunch hour by over 50%, allowing staff to focus more on serving customers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • First Use Wash: Always give your new pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check Your Fit: Before you fill it, double-check that the pan sits correctly in your bain marie, oven racks, or fridge shelving.
  • Label for Success: If using multiple pans, consider a food-safe labelling system to keep your ingredients organised and  compliant with HACCP standards.

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid Steel Wool: To prevent scratching the surface, use a non-abrasive scourer for tough spots.
  • Soak, Don't Scrape: For baked-on food, let the pan soak in warm water and  detergent. It will make cleaning much easier.
  • Stack Carefully: Nesting pans saves space, but avoid jamming them together tightly as this can make them difficult to separate.
  • Rinse and  Dry: After washing, rinse thoroughly to remove any chemical residue and  dry to prevent water spots.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure what fits best in your kitchen? Gastronorm pans come in all shapes and  sizes, so here are a few quick tips to help you choose the perfect one for the job.

Depth Matters

A deep 150mm or 200mm pan is great for liquids and  large batches like stews or beans. Shallower pans (20mm-65mm) are better for grilling, roasting smaller items, or displaying deli items.

Check Your Size

This GN 1/1 (530x325mm) is the industry standard 'full size', but pans come in fractional sizes too (GN 1/2, 1/3, etc.). Always measure your equipment to see what combination fits best.

Material Thickness (Gauge)

For heavy, daily use, look for a lower gauge number like this pan's 20-gauge (0.8mm). It means thicker, more durable steel that resists dents and  warping under heat.

Solid vs. Perforated

Solid pans, like this one, are the all-rounders. Perforated pans are specialists, brilliant for steaming vegetables, draining fats from bacon, or rinsing salad ingredients.

Don't Forget the Lids

If you're using pans for storage or transport, you'll need lids. They can be plain, notched to allow a spoon to stay in, or even have a silicone seal for a tighter fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does GN 1/1 actually mean?

A: It's a standardised European size for kitchen containers, trays, and  pans. A GN 1/1 pan measures 530 x 325 mm, making it easy to fit into compatible equipment from any brand.

Q: Is this pan suitable for an induction hob?

A: No, standard stainless steel gastronorm pans are not designed for direct hob use. They are intended for use in ovens, combi-ovens, bain maries, and  for storage.

Q: Can I take this pan straight from the freezer and  put it in a hot oven?

A: Yes, the high-quality stainless steel is designed to handle rapid temperature changes ('thermal shock') without warping or being damaged.

Q: What is the exact capacity of this Modena GN 1/1 pan?

A: This 150mm deep pan holds approximately 20 litres, making it ideal for large batches of food.

Q: Are these pans stackable for storage?

A: Yes, they are designed with slightly tapered sides so they can nest inside one another to save valuable kitchen storage space.

Q: What is 20-gauge steel?

A: It's a measure of the steel's thickness. 20-gauge (or 0.8mm) is a sturdy, commercial-grade thickness that provides excellent resistance to dents and  bending.

Q: Is the stainless steel food-safe?

A: Absolutely. It's a hygienic, non-porous, and  corrosion-resistant material that is the industry standard for safe food preparation, cooking, and  storage.

Q: How should I clean really stubborn, baked-on food?

A: For best results, soak the pan in warm, soapy water before washing. Use a plastic scraper or a non-abrasive pad to protect the steel's finish.

The Modena Promise: Unseen Reliability in Every Pan

With a brand like Modena, you're investing in more than just a piece of steel; you're adopting a 'buy once, buy well' philosophy. Modena focuses on the fundamental building blocks of a reliable kitchen, not flashy gimmicks. This GN 1/1 stainless steel gastronorm pan perfectly represents that ethos. Its real, long-term value isn't just in its 20-litre capacity, but in its unwavering consistency. It fits perfectly every time, it doesn't warp and  cause your bain marie to lose heat, and  it withstands the rigours of daily service without complaint. Investing in quality basics like this means fewer replacements, less operational disruption, and  the quiet confidence that your equipment will perform as expected, day in, day out. It’s the smart, long-term choice for any serious food business that values operational smoothness over short-term savings.

What Does '20 Gauge Steel' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

You'll often see terms like 'gauge' when looking at stainless steel equipment, but what does it really mean? Simply put, gauge is a measure of thickness, and  with steel, the lower the number, the thicker and  stronger the material. This Modena pan is made from 20-gauge (or 0.8mm) steel, which is the sweet spot for professional kitchenware.

Think of it like the difference between a flimsy supermarket baking tray that bends when you lift it and  a proper, heavy-duty roasting tin that feels solid in your hands. That's the difference 20-gauge makes. This extra rigidity means the pan won't buckle or warp when you pull a full, heavy load of lasagne out of a hot oven. This prevents dangerous spills and  ensures it always sits perfectly flat on your surfaces and  in your bain marie, which is vital for even heating.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Event Caterers: Easily transport and  serve large quantities of hot or cold food at weddings and  corporate functions.
  • Food Production Units: An essential for batch cooking, storing ingredients, and  streamlining your food prep workflow.
  • Deli & Buffet Restaurants: Perfect for displaying salads, cooked meats, and  hot dishes attractively in servery counters.
  • Hotel Kitchens: Ideal for room service prep, breakfast buffets, and  keeping ingredients organised in walk-in fridges.
