Expert Review and  Insights

Rational's own-brand accessories are always a sound investment. This granite tray isn't just a container; it’s an active part of the cooking process. The heat distribution is second to none, giving you a consistent, crisp finish that standard steel trays struggle to match, especially with baked items. It’s a proper workhorse for any serious kitchen.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: Unbeatable heat retention delivers incredibly even browning and  crisping results.
  • Cons: Heavier than standard stainless steel trays and  requires careful handling to protect the enamel.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Severn Boathouse', a riverside gastropub in Shrewsbury, were struggling with inconsistent results on their Sunday roasts and  baked desserts using generic trays in their Rational oven.

"We invested in the oven, so it made sense to invest in the right accessories. The difference was immediate. The granite trays give our roast potatoes an incredible crunch and  our fruit crumbles cook perfectly evenly. No more soggy bottoms!"

Robert Davies – Head Chef

By switching to the genuine Rational 1/2GN tray 60mm, the kitchen has seen a 95% reduction in inconsistencies for baked and  roasted items, improving kitchen efficiency and  customer satisfaction.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the tray with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly.
  • Always ensure the tray is placed securely on the oven runners.
  • For best results, pre-heat the tray within the oven as per your recipe's requirements.

Keeping It Going

  • Allow the tray to cool down before washing to prevent thermal shock.
  • Hand wash is recommended to prolong the life of the enamel coating.
  • Avoid using metal utensils or harsh abrasive scourers which can scratch the surface.
  • Store flat and  do not stack heavy items inside it to protect the non-stick finish.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Trays

Not sure which tray is right for the job? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Get the Size Right

Gastronorm (GN) is a standard sizing system. A 1/1 GN is the base size (530x325mm), and  this 1/2GN tray is half of that. Check what your oven and  workflow require.

Material Matters

Standard stainless steel is a great all-rounder for steaming and  general use. Enamelled or granite trays, like this one, excel at baking, roasting and  browning.

Consider the Depth

A shallow tray (20-40mm) is great for cookies or grilling. A deeper tray, like this 60mm one, is perfect for roasts, lasagne, or holding items in a sauce.

Perforated or Solid?

Solid trays hold liquids and  are for general roasting or baking. Perforated trays allow steam to circulate, ideal for steaming vegetables or baking croissants.

Brand-Specific Benefits

Using genuine accessories like this Rational 60mm steam oven tray ensures you get the maximum performance and  efficiency your branded combi oven was designed for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 1/2GN mean?

A: It refers to a 'half' Gastronorm size, which is a European standard for kitchenware dimensions. This tray measures 325 x 265mm.

Q: Is this tray dishwasher safe?

A: While it can withstand a dishwasher, we strongly recommend hand washing with a soft cloth to preserve the integrity of the granite enamel non-stick coating for years to come.

Q: Can I use this tray in a different brand of oven?

A: While it may physically fit in other ovens of a similar size, it is specifically engineered to work with the heat dynamics and  racking system of Rational combi ovens for optimal results.

Q: What type of cooking is this tray best for?

A: This 1/2GN 60mm Rational combi tray excels at roasting, baking, and  gratinating, where achieving a crisp, brown finish is key. It's perfect for potatoes, pastries, pizzas, and  breaded products.

Q: Do I need to season the tray before use?

A: No, the granite enamel finish is non-stick from the very first use. Just give it a quick wash in warm soapy water before you start cooking.

Q: Can I use metal utensils on this tray?

A: It's best to avoid sharp or metal utensils. We recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon tools to avoid scratching the enamel surface.

Q: How does this differ from a standard stainless steel tray?

A: The granite enamel on this Rational gastronorm tray 1/2 size absorbs and  radiates heat more intensely, leading to superior browning and  crisping compared to the more reflective surface of stainless steel.

Q: Is it normal for the tray to be quite heavy?

A: Yes, the cast aluminium core makes it heavier than a pressed stainless steel tray. This mass is what helps it retain heat so effectively for even cooking.

Why the Granite Enamel Finish is a Baker's Best Friend

Ever wonder why some trays give you a soggy bottom while others deliver a perfect, crisp crust? It often comes down to the material. This Rational baking tray isn't just metal; it features a special granite enamelled coating on a cast aluminium core. Think of it like a traditional baker's stone or a high-quality cast-iron skillet, but designed to fit perfectly in your high-tech oven. The aluminium heats up quickly and  the granite enamel absorbs and  radiates that heat with incredible intensity and  evenness. This direct, powerful heat is what gives you that amazing browning and  crisping on everything from bread to roast potatoes, driving moisture away from the surface far more effectively than a standard, reflective Rational oven tray made from stainless steel.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants

    Perfect for achieving consistently crisp skin on fish or a perfect crust on pâté en croûte every service.

  • Artisan Bakeries & Pâtisseries

    Essential for baking scones, pastries, and  flatbreads with an even, golden-brown base without fail.

  • Boutique Hotel Kitchens

    Ideal for roasting smaller joints of meat or preparing breakfast items like hash browns for the morning buffet.

  • High-End Event Caterers

    A reliable choice for producing large batches of perfectly cooked canapés, gratins, or roasted vegetables.
