It’s easy to overlook accessories, but the right tray makes all the difference. This Rational one is a proper workhorse. The granite-enamel coating is brilliant – tough as old boots and  things just don't stick to it. It heats up evenly, which is exactly what you need for consistent results in a high-performance oven. A solid investment for any serious kitchen.

  • Pros: Superb non-stick performance makes for easy food release and  cleaning.
  • Cons: As a genuine part, it costs more than generic third-party trays.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The King's Head Inn, a busy gastro-pub in York, needed reliable, smaller trays for their new Sunday roast side-dish menu after their old generic ones started warping under the heat.

"We were fed up with cheap trays that buckled in the heat. These genuine Rational ones are solid, heat evenly, and  the non-stick is a lifesaver for our honey-glazed parsnips. No more wasted product or difficult cleanup."

David Chen – Head Chef

The pub reduced food wastage from sticking by an estimated 15% and  significantly improved cooking consistency across all their side dishes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Always ensure the tray is completely dry before placing it into a preheated oven.
  • Check it sits correctly on your oven's racking to allow for proper air and  steam circulation.

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid using sharp metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads to protect the enamel finish.
  • For any stubborn, baked-on food, simply soak the tray in hot water with a bit of washing-up liquid.
  • While it is dishwasher safe, a quick handwash is often all that's needed and  will help prolong its life.
  • Stack carefully, using tray liners between them if possible, to prevent chipping the edges.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Trays

Struggling to decide which tray is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is a great all-rounder, but enamelled surfaces like this one are fantastic for baking and  roasting to prevent food from sticking.

Mind the Depth

A shallow 20mm tray is perfect for roasting, grilling and  baking. For braising or holding sauces, you'll need a deeper tray (65mm+).

Genuine vs. Generic

Genuine trays from brands like Rational are designed for a perfect fit, ensuring optimal heat and  steam circulation in their specific ovens.

Perforated or Solid?

Solid trays are for roasting and  baking. Perforated trays are essential for steaming or baking items where you need air circulation underneath.

Know Your Sizes

A 1/2 GN (Gastronorm) is half the size of the standard 1/1 GN. It's great for smaller batches or fitting two side-by-side in the oven.

More Than Just a Coating: The Granite-Enamel Advantage

You might see 'granite-enamelled' and  think it's just another non-stick coating, but it's a whole different ball game. It isn't a thin layer that can peel or scratch off over time. Instead, it’s a layer of powdered glass fused directly to the surface of the steel tray at incredibly high temperatures. Think of it like the tough, glossy finish on a classic cast-iron casserole dish, but engineered for the intense, high-humidity environment of a combi oven. This process makes the surface exceptionally hard, non-porous, and  resistant to scratches and  food acids. It means you get brilliant non-stick performance that lasts, service after service.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: Perfect for roasting veg, baking small batches, or holding sides during a busy service.
  • School & Hospital Caterers: Ideal for preparing individual portions or smaller, specialised dietary meals with absolute precision.
  • Hotel Function Rooms: Essential for buffet service, keeping different food items separate, hot, and  well-presented.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Great for baking pastries, pies, and  savoury tarts directly for the hot counter display.
