  • Pro: The universal sizing is flawless, fitting every piece of compatible kit we tested it with.
  • Con: Like all single-wall steel pans, it gets extremely hot, so always handle with gloves.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in Bristol was struggling with an inefficient prep station, using a mix of mismatched plastic containers. They upgraded to a standardised system using Modena 2/3 and  1/3 GN pans to streamline their workflow for their popular sandwich and  salad bar.

"Switching to a fully standardised gastronorm system has been brilliant. Everything fits together, stacks neatly in the fridge, and  goes straight into the service counter. Prep is faster, the counter looks more professional, and  there's less clutter. It's a small change that made a big difference to our daily rush."

David Chen – Owner, The Corner Deli

The team reported a 20% reduction in sandwich prep time during the peak lunch hour and  better portion control, cutting down on food waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any residue from manufacturing.
  • Check the pan fits comfortably in your ovens, racks, and  serveries to ensure a smooth workflow.
  • If stacking, ensure the pans are completely dry to prevent a vacuum seal from forming between them.
  • Label the pan if you plan to use it for specific allergens to maintain food safety protocols.

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid using steel wool or highly abrasive scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
  • For tough, baked-on food, soak the pan in hot water with a bit of washing-up liquid before cleaning.
  • To maintain its shine and  prevent water spots, dry it with a soft cloth immediately after washing.
  • Regularly inspect the corners and  edges for any damage to ensure it remains hygienic and  safe to use.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which pan is the perfect fit for your setup? Here are a few quick tips to help you decide.

1. Get the Size Right

GN sizing is a European standard. A 1/1 GN is the base size (530x325mm). This 2/3 GN pan is two-thirds of that size, perfect for fitting alongside other pans in a standard frame.

2. Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, non-porous (so it won't hold odours), and  easy to sanitise. It's the best all-rounder for hot and  cold applications.

3. Consider the Depth

This pan is 100mm deep, which is a great multi-purpose depth. Deeper pans (150mm+) are for liquids or bulk items, while shallower pans (20-65mm) are for grilling, roasting, or display.

4. Think About Lids

While this pan doesn't come with one, you can buy standard 2/3 GN lids separately. They're essential for storage, transport, and  keeping food warm in a bain-marie.

5. Gauge the Quality

A heavier gauge (like the 20 gauge on this model) means a thicker, more durable pan that resists dents and  warping. It's a key sign of a quality commercial product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this pan dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is perfectly safe for use in a commercial dishwasher. For best results and  to avoid water spots, it's good practice to dry it afterwards.

Q: Can I use metal utensils in this pan?

A: Yes, the stainless steel construction is robust enough to handle metal utensils, though excessive scraping with sharp implements may cause light surface scratches over time.

Q: What does GN 2/3 mean?

A: GN 2/3 refers to its 'Gastronorm' size. It measures 354 x 325mm, which is two-thirds the size of a full 1/1 GN pan. This standardisation ensures it fits compatible equipment.

Q: Are these pans stackable for storage?

A: Yes, they are designed to nest inside one another to save space. Ensure they are fully dry before stacking to prevent them from sticking together.

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

A: These pans are not designed for direct-heat cooking on a gas or electric hob. They are intended for use in ovens, bain-maries, and  for storage.

Q: Will this pan rust over time?

A: The high-quality stainless steel is corrosion-resistant. With proper care and  by avoiding prolonged contact with harsh chemicals or salt, it will not rust.

Q: Does the pan come with a lid?

A: This item is for the pan only. Standard 2/3 GN lids are available to be purchased separately.

Q: How do I remove stubborn, burnt-on food?

A: Soaking the pan in hot, soapy water is usually sufficient. For very tough stains, a non-abrasive cream cleaner can be used, but always avoid harsh steel wool.

What Customers Are Saying

"Proper sturdy bit of kit. We use these for everything from holding gravy in the bain-marie to storing prepped veg. Cleans up nicely. Can't fault it."

Mark L – Pub Kitchen, Cardiff

"A really good, solid stainless steel 2/3 GN container. Does the job perfectly for our catering events. Only slight niggle is they can be a bit tricky to separate if you stack them while still wet, but that's easily avoided."

Chloe R – Event Caterer, Manchester

What Does '20 Gauge Steel' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

You'll often see 'gauge' mentioned with stainless steel, and  it's simply a measure of thickness. A bit counter-intuitively, the lower the gauge number, the thicker and  stronger the steel. At 20 gauge (or 0.8mm), this Modena pan hits a sweet spot for commercial use. Think of it like this: you wouldn't use flimsy baking paper to carry a heavy roast dinner; you'd use a sturdy ceramic dish. This pan has that same reliable sturdiness. It means it's far less likely to warp when you pull it out of a hot oven or dent if it's accidentally knocked or dropped during a busy service, ensuring it lasts for years, not months.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés and  Coffee Shops: Ideal for holding pre-prepped sandwich fillings, salad items, or baked goods on the counter.
  • Pubs and  Restaurants: An essential for mise en place, holding chopped veg, sauces, or portions in the kitchen line.
  • Mobile Caterers: Perfect for safely transporting, storing, and  serving food from a food truck or at an event.
  • School and  Office Canteens: A must-have for serving hot meals like curry, pasta, or vegetables on a busy lunch servery.
