Product Overview

Stepping up your kitchen's organisation game starts with the basics, and  this bit of kit is as fundamental as it gets. Meet the Modena Stainless Steel 1/4 Gastronorm Pan 100mm, the unsung hero of commercial kitchens across the UK. It’s not flashy, but it’s a proper workhorse, designed to slot perfectly into your daily routine, from prep counter to oven, and  from blast chiller to the service line. If you're tired of mismatched containers and  wasted space, this is your answer.

Crafted for busy chefs, caterers, and  café owners who need equipment that just works, no fuss. This 1/4 size stainless steel gastronorm pan is your go-to for holding everything from prepped salad ingredients and  sauces to portions of curry or veg for the carvery. Its 100mm depth gives you a generous 2.5-litre capacity, making it incredibly versatile for both storage and  cooking, while the heavy-duty stainless steel build means it can take the heat (and the cold) without breaking a sweat.

Ultimately, this isn't just a container; it's a building block for an efficient kitchen. Standardised sizing means it fits perfectly alongside other GN pans in your bain-marie, combi oven, or walk-in fridge. It’s tough, it’s hygienic, and  it’s built to last through thousands of services. For a reliable, commercial 1/4 gastronorm tray 100mm deep that won't let you down, look no further.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a bustling seafood restaurant in Whitby, needed to overhaul their kitchen prep and  service line to keep up with summer demand. Their old, mismatched containers were causing chaos in their new refrigerated prep station.

"We switched over to these Modena 1/4 GN pans and  the difference was instant. Everything fits perfectly, our chefs can grab what they need without rummaging, and  service is so much smoother. They are tough as old boots and  clean up a treat."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

The standardisation streamlined their cold-hold section, increasing the speed of service and  reducing order errors by an estimated 20% during peak times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Always check the pan fits comfortably in your equipment; GN sizing is standard, but a snug fit is best.
  • Stack with a slight offset when wet to allow air to circulate and  prevent a vacuum seal from forming.

Keeping It Going

  • For stubborn food residue, soak in warm water rather than attacking it with steel wool, which can cause scratches.
  • While durable, try to avoid dropping the pan on its corners to prevent dents that can affect stacking.
  • These pans are fully commercial dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and  easy.
  • Stack neatly after drying to protect the edges and  save valuable shelf space.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which pan is the best fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to look for when choosing a stainless steel 1/4 gastronorm pan 100mm or any other size.

Know Your Size

Gastronorm sizes are fractions of the 'full' GN 1/1 size (530x325mm). A GN 1/2 is half that size, a GN 1/4 is a quarter, and  so on. Match the size to your equipment and  your portions.

Consider the Depth

Pans come in depths from 20mm to 200mm. Shallow pans (20-65mm) are great for grilling or presenting small items, while deeper ones like this 100mm model are brilliant for sauces, stews, and  holding liquids.

Pick a Material

Stainless steel is the all-rounder – tough, oven/freezer safe, and  easy to clean. Polycarbonate pans are lighter, see-through, and  great for cold storage, but can't go in the oven.

Don't Forget Lids

Lids are usually sold separately. You can get standard lids for stacking, lids with notches for utensils, and  airtight sealing lids for transport and  storage. Make sure you get the right size!

Perforated or Solid?

This is a solid pan, perfect for holding liquids. Perforated pans have holes in the bottom and  are used for steaming vegetables, draining fat from bacon, or rinsing salad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this pan dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, absolutely. It's made from commercial-grade stainless steel and  designed to handle the rigours of a professional dishwasher.

Q: Can I use this pan to cook directly on a hob?

A: It's not recommended. Gastronorm pans are designed for use inside ovens, bain-maries, and  holding units, not for direct heat from a hob.

Q: What does '20 Gauge' stainless steel mean?

A: It's a measurement of the steel's thickness. 20 gauge is a strong, durable standard for commercial kitchenware, offering good resistance to dents and  warping.

Q: Can I go straight from the freezer to a hot oven with this pan?

A: Yes, the high-quality stainless steel is built to withstand rapid temperature changes, making it a versatile tool for cook-chill systems.

Q: Will this Modena 1/4 GN pan 100mm stack with pans from other brands?

A: As it's made to a universal GN standard, it should stack well with other compliant pans. However, minor design differences between brands can sometimes lead to a less-than-perfect fit.

Q: Are the corners rounded for easy cleaning?

A: Yes, the pans are designed with gently curved corners to prevent food from getting trapped, making them much more hygienic and  easier to clean.

Q: Are lids available for this pan?

A: Yes, standard GN 1/4 lids are available and  are typically sold separately. This allows you to choose the type of lid that best suits your needs.

Q: Can I use metal utensils in this pan without scratching it?

A: Yes, it's a commercial-grade stainless steel pan, specifically designed to withstand daily use with metal spoons, ladles, and  tongs.

Decoding Gastronorm: Why Standard Sizing is a Kitchen Superhero

Ever wondered what 'GN 1/4' actually means? It's not jargon, it's the secret to an organised kitchen. The Gastronorm (GN) system is a European standard for container sizes, ensuring equipment from different brands can work together. Think of it like kitchen LEGOs. The 'base' piece is a full GN 1/1 pan. A GN 1/4 pan, like this one, is exactly a quarter of that size. This means you can fit four of these pans perfectly into a GN 1/1 sized space in your oven, fridge, or bain-marie with no gaps. Using a standard quarter size gastronorm pan for your kitchen means less wasted space, faster service, and  a beautifully organised, efficient setup.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés and  Delis: Perfect for holding fresh sandwich fillings, salads, or soup portions in refrigerated counters.
  • Pubs and  Restaurants: Ideal for organising mise en place or holding vegetables, gravy, and  sauces on a carvery servery.
  • Event Caterers: Essential for prepping, storing, and  safely transporting food from your base to the venue.
  • Hotels and  B&Bs: A must-have for breakfast buffets, holding everything from sausages and  beans to yoghurts and  fruit.
