  • Pro: Excellent thermal conductivity means it heats and  chills food evenly and  quickly.
  • Consideration: Like most GN pans, the lids are sold separately, so remember to budget for them.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner House Bistro in Harrogate needed to standardise their kitchen storage to improve speed during their hectic lunch service. They replaced their mismatched collection of containers with a full set of Modena GN pans.

"Having everything in the same size container has been brilliant. Everything stacks neatly, fits in the fridge, the oven, the server – no more hunting for the right tray. It just makes the whole line flow better, and  the pans themselves are tough as anything."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The standardisation streamlined their prep-to-service workflow, helping to reduce average ticket times by over 10%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Initial Wash: Always give new pans a thorough wash with hot, soapy water before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check for Fit: While standard, it's always good practice to double-check the pan fits snugly in your most-used appliances like ovens and  bain-maries.
  • Label if Needed: For busy kitchens, consider using food-safe markers or labelling systems to dedicate pans to specific uses (e.g., raw meat, vegan).

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid Steel Wool: To prevent scratching the surface, use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth for cleaning. For tough, baked-on food, soak first.
  • Tackle Discolouration: A 'rainbow' sheen can sometimes appear after heating. This is harmless, but can be removed with a bit of white vinegar or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner.
  • Dry Thoroughly: To prevent water spots and  potential corrosion, always dry your pans completely before stacking and  storing them.
  • Stack Carefully: Avoid dropping pans inside one another, as this can cause them to jam together, a frustrating problem in a busy service!

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.

1. Consider the Depth

A 65mm deep pan like this one is a great all-rounder. For sauces or soups, you'll want deeper (100mm, 150mm), and  for grilling or shallow items, you might prefer a 20mm or 40mm pan.

2. Get the Size Right

1/1 GN is the standard full size. If you need to offer more variety in a smaller space (like a salad bar), look at smaller sizes like 1/2, 1/3, and  1/6 pans which will fit together within a 1/1 footprint.

3. Material Matters

Stainless steel is the king for durability and  versatility as it's oven and  freezer safe. For cold display or storage only, clear polycarbonate pans are a lighter, cheaper alternative that lets you see the contents.

4. Solid or Perforated?

This is a solid pan, perfect for holding liquids, roasting, and  general storage. Perforated pans have small holes, which are ideal for steaming vegetables or draining fat away from meats.

5. Don't Forget the Lids

Lids are nearly always sold separately. There are standard lids, lids with notches for serving spoons, and  even airtight sealing lids. Make sure you grab the right lid for the job to keep food fresh and  safe.

Q: Is the Modena GN pan dishwasher safe?

A: These pans are not designed for direct-heat cooking on a hob. They are intended for use inside ovens, bain-maries, or for storage.

Q: Will acidic foods like tomato sauce damage the pan?

A: No, the stainless steel used is corrosion-resistant and  perfectly suitable for use with common acidic ingredients.

The Unsung Hero: Why Modena GN Pans Are a Kitchen Staple

In a world of high-tech combi ovens and  sous-vide machines, it's easy to overlook the humble gastronorm pan. Yet, this is where the Modena brand truly shines, focusing on the foundational tools that make a kitchen tick. Choosing a Modena pan isn't just about buying a piece of metal; it's an investment in operational consistency. Their commitment to precise GN sizing and  durable, 20-gauge steel construction means you're getting a product that eliminates daily frustrations. Pans fit correctly every time, they withstand the inevitable drops and  knocks of a busy service, and  they won't warp in the oven, ensuring even cooking. This long-term reliability means fewer replacements, less food waste from uneven cooking, and  a smoother, less stressful environment for your team. It's the kind of smart, practical engineering that underpins every successful food business.

Why Gastronorm (GN) Sizing is a Chef's Best Friend

Ever wondered what '1/1 GN' actually means? Think of it like Lego for professional kitchens. The Gastronorm system is a European standard for container sizes, ensuring that pans, trays, ovens, fridges, and  trolleys from different manufacturers all fit together perfectly. The '1/1' is the base size (530 x 325mm), and  all other sizes are fractions of it – like 1/2, 1/3, or 1/6. This Modena pan is the foundational '1/1' size. Sticking to GN sizes means you can pull a tray of prepped veg from a GN-sized fridge, slide it directly into a GN-sized oven to cook, and then place it straight into a GN-sized bain-marie for service. No time is wasted swapping food between different, awkward containers. It's the secret to a fast, efficient, and  organised kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: Ideal for holding prepped ingredients in under-counter fridges or for cooking lasagnes and  pies for service.
  • Cafes & Delis: Perfect for displaying salads, pasta, and  other cold items in a refrigerated counter display unit.
  • Event Caterers: An essential for transporting food and  serving on buffet lines, fitting standard chafing dishes perfectly.
  • Butchers & Farm Shops: Great for marinating large cuts of meat or storing prepared items ready for sale.
