  • Con: The standard design means they can sometimes jam when stacked tightly together.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Pie Hole', a popular gourmet pie shop in York, needed to upgrade their mismatched collection of containers. They wanted something uniform that could handle going from their blast chiller straight into the ovens and then into the hot-hold display for service.

"These Modena pans are absolute troopers. We can prep fillings, store them, cook in them, and  serve from them. It's simplified our entire operation and  they still look brand new after months of hard graft. A brilliant, straightforward bit of kit."

Robert Finch – Owner & Head Pie Maker

By standardising with the Modena 1/3 GN pans, The Pie Hole streamlined their workflow, resulting in a 20% faster turnaround from prep to service during busy lunch rushes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give your new pans a good wash with hot, soapy water before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Before ordering in bulk, check the pan's dimensions against your counters, ovens, and  bain-maries to ensure a perfect fit.
  • These pans are designed for professional equipment; avoid using them on a direct flame like a gas hob.

Keeping It Going

  • For stubborn, baked-on food, soak the pan in warm water and  detergent before washing. Avoid harsh steel wool.
  • The pan is completely commercial dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and  hygienic.
  • To prevent jamming, try to avoid forcing wet pans together when stacking. Let them air dry first.
  • Regularly check for any food build-up in the corners and  clean with a brush to maintain top hygiene standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Finding the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the right gastronorm container.

Check Your Size and  Depth

Gastronorm is a standard system. Match the GN size (1/1, 1/2, 1/3) to your equipment, and  choose a depth (like this 150mm pan) based on what you're holding – shallow for grilling, deep for liquids.

Material is Key

Stainless steel is the undisputed all-rounder for hot and  cold use. For cold display or storage only, polycarbonate can be a lightweight alternative.

Consider the Gauge

The gauge is the thickness of the steel. A lower number, like the 20-gauge on this Modena pan, means it's thicker, more durable, and  less likely to warp under heat.

Do You Need Lids?

Lids are usually sold separately. Think about whether you need a plain lid for stacking, a notched one for leaving a spoon in, or a sealed lid for transport.

Plan for Your Workflow

Think about how the pans will be used. Do you need pans that can go from freezer to oven to service? A durable 1/3 gastronorm pan stainless steel is your most flexible option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'GN 1/3' or 'Third Size' actually mean?

A: It's a standardised European sizing system. A GN 1/3 pan takes up exactly one-third of the space of a full GN 1/1 container, making it easy to mix and  match sizes in service counters and  ovens.

Q: Can I use this pan directly on a gas or electric hob?

A: It is not recommended. These pans are designed for use in ovens, combination ovens, bain-maries, and  heated display units, not for direct-heat cooking on a hob.

Q: Is this pan fully dishwasher safe?

A: Absolutely. Its high-quality stainless steel construction makes it perfectly suited for the high temperatures and  powerful detergents of commercial dishwashers.

Q: What is the main benefit of the 0.8mm thickness?

A: The 0.8mm (or 20-gauge) thickness provides superior strength and  durability. It helps the pan resist dents from daily knocks and  prevents it from warping when exposed to high temperatures.

Q: Are these Modena pans stackable?

A: Yes, they are designed to stack for convenient storage. To avoid them occasionally jamming, ensure they are fully dry and  don't force them together too tightly.

Q: Will metal utensils scratch the surface?

A: The sturdy stainless steel is very resilient and  designed for use with metal utensils. While minor surface scratches can occur over time, it will not affect the pan's performance.

Q: How does the capacity of 5.7 litres translate to portions?

A: This can vary wildly depending on the food, but as a rough guide, it could hold around 15-20 portions of a side dish like coleslaw or a generous batch of sauce for a service.

Q: Are lids available for this Modena 1/3 gastronorm tray?

A: Yes, standard 1/3 GN lids, including options with notches for utensils, are available separately and  will fit this pan perfectly.

Why Material Gauge Actually Matters in Your Kitchen

You'll often see terms like '20 Gauge' or '0.8mm thick' and  it's easy to gloss over, but it's one of the most important features of this commercial gastronorm container 1/3. Think of it like this: it's the difference between a flimsy disposable baking tray and  your trusty cast-iron skillet at home. The 'gauge' refers to the thickness of the steel – and  with metal, the lower the gauge number, the thicker and  stronger it is. This 20-gauge pan has the strength to resist warping when you take it from a cold fridge to a hot oven, and  it won't easily dent if accidentally dropped. This thickness also helps it hold and  distribute heat more evenly, preventing hot spots that can burn food in a bain-marie. It’s a small detail that means a much longer life and  more reliable performance.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: Ideal for holding everything from sauces and  gravies in the bain-marie to prepped veg on the line.
  • Cafés & Sandwich Bars: Perfect for displaying fresh salad, pasta, and  sandwich fillings in chilled service counters.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its standardised size makes it essential for transporting and  serving food efficiently at events.
  • Delis & Farm Shops: A professional way to present olives, coleslaws, and  other fresh produce to customers.
