Expert Review and  Insights

The Modena 1/3 pan is a textbook example of doing the simple things exceptionally well. It’s not flashy, but its 20-gauge steel construction gives it a reassuring heft and  rigidity that you just don't find in cheaper alternatives. For any kitchen manager focused on reliability and  standardisation, this is an absolute must-have. It’s a true fit-and-forget bit of kit.

  • Pros: The build quality is excellent; it resists warping in the oven remarkably well.
  • Cons: Lacks anti-jam lugs, so they can stick if stacked while wet.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Café in Torquay needed to streamline its lunchtime carvery service. Their existing, shallower food pans required constant refilling, causing queues and  frustrating staff during the tourist season rush.

"We were constantly swapping pans out. With the Modena 200mm deep pans, we can load them up and  be confident they'll last through the peak of service. It’s made our front-of-house operation so much smoother."

Robert Evans – Head Chef

The switch to this deep stainless steel food pan 200mm meant staff could focus on serving customers, resulting in a 30% reduction in pan changeovers during the busy 12-2 pm lunch window.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Rinse well and  dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  • The pan is now ready for use in your oven, freezer, or bain-marie.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after each use to maintain hygiene standards. It is dishwasher safe.
  • For stubborn food, soak in warm water rather than using harsh steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
  • To maintain its shine, you can use a specialised stainless steel cleaner from time to time.
  • Always ensure pans are completely dry before stacking to prevent them from sticking together.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which gastronorm is the right fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick checklist to help you decide.

1. Get the Size Right

GN sizing is universal. Check your equipment – do you need GN 1/1, 1/2, 1/3? This 1/3 size gastronorm container is 325x176mm, a very common and  versatile option.

2. Consider the Depth

Deeper pans like this 200mm one mean higher capacity. Shallow pans (20-65mm) are better for smaller portions or quick-cook items. Choose based on what you’re serving.

3. Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, hygienic, and  non-reactive. For almost all cooking, holding, and  storage, it's the best choice.

4. Solid or Perforated?

This is a solid pan, perfect for holding liquids, sauces, or roasting. Perforated pans are also available and  are ideal for steaming vegetables or draining fats.

5. Don't Forget the Lids

Need to stack, store, or transport? Make sure you grab the corresponding GN 1/3 lids to keep food fresh, prevent spills, and  enable efficient stacking in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does GN 1/3 actually mean?

A: It refers to a standard size set by the 'Gastronorm' European standard. A GN 1/3 pan measures 325 x 176mm, ensuring it fits perfectly in compatible service counters, trolleys, and  ovens.

Q: Can I use this pan directly on a hob or induction range?

A: No, these pans are designed for use in ovens, combination ovens, bain-maries, and  for cold storage. They are not intended for direct-heat cooking on a hob.

Q: Are these pans dishwasher safe?

A: Absolutely. They are made from durable stainless steel and  are designed to withstand the rigours of a commercial dishwasher.

Q: Can I use metal utensils in this pan?

A: Yes, the heavy-duty stainless steel construction is tough enough to handle metal spoons, tongs, and  spatulas in a typical service environment.

Q: How do I stop them from sticking together when stacked?

A: The best way is to ensure each pan is completely dry before nesting it inside another. Stacking them while wet can create a vacuum seal that makes them difficult to separate.

Q: Is this pan suitable for acidic foods like tomato sauce?

A: Yes, the stainless steel is non-reactive and  corrosion-resistant, making it perfectly safe for holding acidic foods without pitting or tainting the flavour.

Q: What is the main benefit of the 200mm depth?

A: The primary benefit is high capacity. This deep stainless steel food pan 200mm holds 7.5 litres, meaning you don't have to refill it as often during a busy service.

Q: Is there a specific lid that fits this pan?

A: Yes, you should look for a standard GN 1/3 lid. They are available separately and  come in various styles, including sealed, notched for utensils, and  standard drop-on.

The Modena Promise: Everyday Reliability, Built to Last

In a professional kitchen, the real cost of equipment isn't just the purchase price; it's the cost of failure.

Modena focuses on eliminating those hidden costs. This stainless steel 1/3 gastronorm pan is engineered for consistency and  longevity. It represents a long-term investment in operational smoothness. By choosing Modena, you're choosing equipment that you can trust day in, day out, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: creating fantastic food and  running a successful business. It's the kind of quiet, background reliability that forms the foundation of every great kitchen.

Why 20-Gauge Steel is Your Kitchen's Best Mate

You see '20-Gauge Stainless Steel' listed, but what does that actually mean for your kitchen? In the world of metal, a lower gauge number means a thicker, stronger sheet. So, a 20-gauge pan is significantly more robust than a 22 or 24-gauge one. Think of it like the difference between a flimsy disposable baking tray that twists the second it gets hot, and  a heavy-duty cast iron skillet that stays flat and  solid. This extra thickness is what stops your Modena gastronorm pan from warping in a hot oven or denting when it inevitably gets dropped or knocked. It ensures your pan stays flat, cooks evenly, and  lasts for years, not just months.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Buffet Restaurants & Hotels: Ideal for holding everything from scrambled eggs to curry in your hot service counters.
  • Busy Cafés & Sandwich Bars: Perfect for keeping large batches of fresh salad, coleslaw, or sandwich fillings chilled and  ready.
  • Mobile Caterers & Event Planners: A reliable and  standardised deep steam table pan for transporting and  serving food at any location.
  • School & University Canteens: Durably built to handle the demands of serving hundreds of meals daily, from pasta to vegetables.
