  • Pros: The heat transfer is phenomenal for getting the perfect roast potato crust.
  • Cons: It’s heavier than standard steel trays, so requires careful handling.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a bustling seafood bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, needed to expand their oven-baking capacity after introducing a new line of signature fish pies and  bread. They invested in several genuine Rational granite-enamelled trays to standardise their results.

"We were using generic trays before, and  the results were always a bit hit-and-miss. Switching to the proper Rational trays has been brilliant. Every pie comes out with a perfectly golden top and  a crisp base. Our consistency has gone through the roof."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

The bistro now bakes in larger, more consistent batches, increasing their pie output by 35% and  significantly reducing baking time per unit.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Before first use, give the tray a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Ensure the tray is completely dry before its first trip into a hot oven.
  • Always check that the runners in your oven are clean to allow the Rational gastronorm tray 2/1 to slide in and  out smoothly.
  • While not essential, you can lightly oil the surface for the first couple of uses to build up its non-stick performance.

Keeping It in Top Shape

  • To protect the enamel, avoid using sharp metal utensils. Opt for silicone, wood, or heat-resistant nylon tools.
  • Clean after each use. For stubborn baked-on food, soak in warm, soapy water rather than using harsh scouring pads or steel wool.
  • Avoid drastic temperature changes, such as plunging a hot tray into cold water, as this can cause thermal shock and  damage the enamel over time.
  • Store flat and  avoid stacking heavy items inside it to prevent scratches or chips to the surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Tray

Not sure which tray is the perfect match for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to look for.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is a great all-rounder, but for superior browning and  non-stick performance, granite-enamelled trays are unbeatable. Aluminium is lighter and  heats up fast, but can warp.

Know Your GN Sizing

Gastronorm (GN) is a standard European sizing system. 1/1GN is the 'standard' size (530x325mm). This 2/1GN tray is double the size (530x650mm), designed for larger combi ovens.

Depth and  Purpose

A 20mm deep tray is great for biscuits or grilling. This 40mm depth is a versatile mid-point, perfect for roasting vegetables, chicken portions, or baking traybakes.

Perforated vs. Solid

Solid trays, like this one, are for roasting and  baking with liquids. Perforated trays allow air to circulate underneath, ideal for oven chips, pastries, and  'fried' items.

Brand Compatibility

Using a genuine manufacturer tray like this ensures a perfect fit and  is designed to optimise your oven's specific cooking technology and  air-flow systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this an official Rational product?

A: Yes, this is a genuine Rational accessory, part number 6014.2104, ensuring perfect compatibility and  performance with your Rational oven.

Q: What does 2/1GN actually mean?

A: It refers to the standard 'Gastronorm' size. A 2/1GN tray measures 650 x 530mm, which is double the size of the more common 1/1GN tray.

Q: Can I use this tray for baking bread?

A: Absolutely. The excellent heat retention of the granite-enamelled surface is fantastic for achieving a brilliant crust on artisan breads and  focaccia.

Q: How non-stick is the surface?

A: It is highly stick-resistant, making food release and  cleaning much easier than with standard stainless steel trays. A light oiling can help with particularly sticky items.

Q: Is it safe to use metal utensils on this tray?

A: We strongly advise against it. To protect the long life of the enamelled surface, it's best to use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils.

Q: Why is this tray heavier than my other stainless steel ones?

A: The weight comes from the heavy-gauge steel core and  the thick enamelled coating, which are essential for its superior heat retention and  durability.

Q: Will this fit in my standard commercial oven?

A: This is a 2/1GN sized tray, so it will only fit in larger ovens designed to take this format, such as the bigger Rational combi oven models.

Q: What kinds of dishes is the 40mm depth best suited for?

A: It's a fantastic all-rounder depth for roasting meats and  vegetables, baking brownies or flapjacks, and  cooking shallow casseroles or gratins.

The Secret to a Perfect Crust: Understanding the Granite-Enamelled Finish

Ever wondered why some trays just give you better results? It's often down to the surface. A 'granite-enamelled' finish isn't just a fancy name; it describes a process where a glass-like porcelain layer is fused onto a heavy-duty steel core at very high temperatures. This creates a surface that's incredibly tough, non-porous, and  brilliant at absorbing and  radiating heat evenly.

Think of it like the perfect marriage between a classic cast-iron skillet and  a modern non-stick pan. You get the incredible heat retention of cast iron, which is the secret to that deep, golden-brown colour and  crispy texture on roasties or pastry. But you also get the easy-release and  simple clean-up of a non-stick surface. This means you get superior cooking performance without the hassle of scrubbing baked-on food, making it a true kitchen workhorse.
