You can tell a lot about a kitchen by the state of its gastronorm pans. The Modena range gets the fundamentals spot on. It’s not flashy, but it’s tough, reliable, and  fits everything it should. For a core piece of kit you’ll use every single day, that’s exactly what you need.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Practical Durability: The 0.8mm steel thickness feels reassuringly solid for daily kitchen abuse.
  • No Frills: It lacks anti-jam corners, so care is needed when stacking multiples.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Shambles Deli, a popular spot in the heart of York, needed to upgrade their countertop display for a new, expanded salad bar. Their mix of plastic tubs looked unprofessional and  was inefficient for staff to use during busy lunch rushes.

"We were using a real jumble of containers. Switching to these Modena stainless steel 1/4 GN trays made our counter look smart and  professional overnight. It's so much easier for the team to swap them in and  out, and  they fit our chiller perfectly."

David Chen – Owner

The switch streamlined their entire process. The deli saw a measurable 20% improvement in prep and  replenishment speed, and  the clean, uniform look helped boost customer confidence in the freshness of their ingredients.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, always wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • Check that the pan slots correctly into your counter, storage rack, or chafing dish frame.
  • The pan is immediately ready for use in ovens, freezers, walk-in chillers, and  bain-maries.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after every use to maintain food safety and  prevent staining.
  • Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scourers, as they can scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • For stubborn, baked-on food, soak the pan in warm water with a quality detergent before washing.
  • Stack pans neatly when dry to prevent scratching and  make the most of your storage space.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Need a hand choosing the right pan? Here are a few quick tips to make sure you get the perfect fit for your kitchen.

Check Your Sizing

First, double-check the GN size you need (e.g., 1/1, 1/2, 1/4). It must match your existing equipment like ovens and  prep counters for a perfect fit.

Consider the Depth

A 65mm deep pan is great for sides and  ingredients. For liquids like soups or sauces, you might need a 100mm or 150mm deep version.

Understand Material Thickness

Gauge measures steel thickness—a lower number means thicker steel. 20 Gauge (0.8mm) is a durable standard for most commercial uses.

Look for Helpful Features

If you stack dozens of pans, look for 'anti-jam' designs, which have reinforced corners to stop them from sticking together.

Do You Need Lids?

Lids are brilliant for storage and  transport but are usually sold separately. Check if you need plain, notched, or sealing lids for your pans.

What Does 'Gastronorm' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered why gastronorm (or 'GN') sizing is so important? Think of it like LEGO for professional kitchens. The GN system is a European standard for container sizes, ensuring that equipment from different manufacturers works together seamlessly. The '1/1' size is the main 'baseplate,' and  everything else, like this Modena 1/4 GN stainless steel container, is a standard-sized 'brick' that fits perfectly alongside others.

This means your 1/4 pan will slot neatly into a standard refrigerated counter, a hot holding unit, or an oven rack without any wobbling or wasted space. It removes the guesswork and  brings order to the chaos, making your kitchen faster, more organised, and  more efficient. It’s a simple standard that has a huge impact on daily operations.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops: Ideal for holding fresh sandwich fillings, salad bar items, or cake toppings.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its robust, standard design is perfect for transporting food and  setting up event serveries.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: Essential for organising your 'mise en place', holding sauces, or serving hot side dishes.
  • Hotel Buffets: Use with chafing dishes to keep breakfast items, vegetables, or sauces warm for guests.
