Expert Review and  Insights

You can tell a lot about a kitchen by its gastronorm pans, and  this Modena model says all the right things. It’s not flashy, but it’s incredibly solid.

  • Pro: The corner and  rim construction is excellent, making it robust against daily knocks.
  • Con: It's a large, heavy pan even when empty, so requires careful handling.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Bridgewater Suite, a busy conference centre in Manchester, was struggling with buffet changeover times during large corporate events. They needed larger, more durable containers to keep the food service flowing without constant refilling.

"These Modena pans are absolute workhorses. Their sheer size means we can keep the buffet stocked for longer, and  they stand up to constant use and  cleaning without any issues. They've made our service significantly slicker."

David Chen – Head Chef

By switching to the Modena 2/1 pans for their main hot items, the centre streamlined their buffet line, reducing refill times by an estimated 30% during peak events.

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 and  dry completely to prevent water spots and  ensure it's ready for food contact.
  • The standardised 2/1 GN sizing means it will slot directly into compatible ovens, racks, and  bain-maries with no setup needed.

Keeping It Going

  • For burnt-on food, soak the pan in hot water with a little detergent rather than attacking it with abrasive scourers.
  • The pan is dishwasher safe, but handwashing will often preserve its finish for longer.
  • To maintain a brilliant shine, use a designated stainless steel cleaner and  a soft microfibre cloth.
  • Stack carefully when storing to avoid unnecessary scratches, using pan separators if possible.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN pan is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Understand GN Sizing

Gastronorm (GN) is a European standard for kitchenware sizes. A 1/1 GN is 530x325mm. This 2/1 stainless steel gastronorm pan is double the length (650x530mm), making it ideal for large ovens and  serving counters.

Pick the Right Depth

Pans come in various depths. This 150mm deep gastronorm tray is incredibly versatile, perfect for holding liquids like stews and  curries or for roasting large joints of meat without worrying about spills.

Material and  Thickness are Key

Stainless steel is the industry choice for hygiene and  durability. A thicker gauge, like the 0.8mm on this pan, provides superior resistance to warping and  dents, ensuring a longer service life.

Solid, Perforated, or Coated?

This is a solid pan, the all-rounder for cooking, storing, and  serving. You would choose a perforated pan for steaming or draining, and  a coated pan for non-stick applications.

Remember the Lids

Lids are nearly always sold separately. They are crucial for safe transport, efficient stacking, and  keeping food hot and  free from contamination. Make sure to get a compatible 2/1 GN lid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does '2/1 GN' actually mean?

A: It refers to the standard 'Gastronorm' sizing system used in catering. A 2/1 pan measures 650 x 530mm, which is double the length of the 'standard' 1/1 GN pan.

Q: Is this pan safe to put in the dishwasher?

A: Yes, it is fully commercial dishwasher safe. Its robust stainless steel construction can handle high-temperature wash cycles with ease.

Q: Can I use this pan to go from a freezer straight into a hot oven?

A: Absolutely. The high-quality stainless steel is designed to withstand rapid temperature changes ('thermal shock'), making it perfect for cook-chill and  cook-freeze systems.

Q: What is the main benefit of the 0.8mm gauge steel?

A: The 0.8mm thickness (also known as 20 gauge) makes the pan significantly more resistant to dents, dings, and  warping from heat compared to thinner, lighter-duty pans.

Q: Are lids available for this Modena 2/1 GN pan?

A: Yes, standard 2/1 GN lids, which are sold separately, will fit this container perfectly. We offer several types, including standard and  notched lids.

Q: What is the exact capacity of this pan?

A: This extra deep stainless steel GN pan has a total liquid capacity of 43 litres, making it ideal for bulk quantities.

Q: Is the material certified as food-safe?

A: Yes, it is made from high-quality, food-grade stainless steel, which is the industry standard for safe and  hygienic food preparation and  storage.

Q: Will metal utensils scratch or damage the pan?

A: Stainless steel is extremely durable. While heavy, repeated use of metal utensils may cause minor surface scratches over time, it will not affect the pan's performance or safety.

Modena: The Unsung Hero of the Kitchen

In a world of complex gadgets, there's immense value in equipment that simply does its job, day in and  day out. That's the core philosophy behind Modena. This brand excels at creating the foundational, workhorse items that your kitchen relies on. This 2/1 GN pan isn't an innovation in itself, but its execution is what matters. The focus is on long-term value – the thicker steel, the reinforced corners, the corrosion-resistant finish. These aren't flashy features, but they are the details that prevent a pan from warping after a month, denting when dropped, or rusting after a few hundred wash cycles. Investing in a Modena pan is a vote for reliability. It's the assurance that a basic but critical piece of your operation won't fail you during the busiest service, which is a benefit that far outweighs any initial saving on a flimsier alternative.

Why Thicker Steel Stops Kitchen Headaches

You've probably seen 'gauge' mentioned when looking at stainless steel, but what does '0.8mm / 20 Gauge' actually mean for you? Think of it like this: you wouldn't use thin baking foil to roast a heavy joint of meat. The same logic applies here. Thinner, lower-gauge steel pans are prone to warping in a hot oven – that 'popping' sound you hear – which can lead to uneven cooking. They also dent easily when knocked or dropped during a hectic service.

This pan's thicker 0.8mm steel is the kitchen equivalent of a Land Rover chassis. It provides structural rigidity, ensuring the pan stays flat for consistent cooking and  is tough enough to shrug off the inevitable bumps and  scrapes of a commercial environment. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to the product's lifespan and  your daily peace of mind.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Event Caterers: Perfect for transporting and  serving bulk dishes like lasagne or curry for large functions.
  • School & University Canteens: Ideal for holding main courses on the hot-line, serving hundreds of students efficiently.
  • Hotel Buffets: A must-have for the breakfast run, holding vast quantities of bacon, sausages, or beans.
  • Central Production Kitchens: Essential for prepping, cooking, and  blast chilling large batches of food for distribution.
