Expert Review and  Insights

There's a reason we always recommend sticking with genuine accessories. This Rational tray is a prime example. The weight and  feel of the granite enamel tell you it's built for serious work. It distributes heat so evenly, it practically eliminates hotspots, which is crucial for consistency during a busy service. It’s a small upgrade that delivers a noticeable improvement in food quality.

  • Pros: The heat retention is second to none, giving incredible browning and  crusts.
  • Cons: It is noticeably heavier than a standard stainless steel tray, so handle with care.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View restaurant in Penzance, Cornwall, needed to improve the consistency of their baked goods, which were coming out uneven from their older, warped trays. They switched to the official Rational granite enamelled trays for their combi oven.

"The difference was immediate. Our signature fish pies now have a perfectly crisp, golden-brown top every single time, and  nothing sticks. It's cut our plating time down and  our customers have noticed the improved quality."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The kitchen has since reported a 20% reduction in food waste from unevenly cooked items and  can now produce baked goods with reliable consistency, even during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water and  dry it thoroughly.
  • For best results, always preheat the tray inside the oven to ensure rapid, even cooking from the moment food makes contact.
  • Slide the tray into the correct runners for a 2/3GN size; it should fit snugly without being forced.
  • Check that it's level to prevent oils or liquids from pooling on one side.

Keeping It Going

  • To protect the enamel, avoid using sharp metal utensils like knives or scrapers directly on the surface.
  • For stubborn, baked-on food, soak the tray in warm water rather than attacking it with abrasive scourers.
  • Always allow the tray to cool down before plunging it into cold water to prevent thermal shock, which can damage the enamel.
  • When storing, place a soft cloth or pan protector between trays to prevent chipping and  scratches.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Tray

Finding the perfect tray can be a faff. Need a hand choosing the right one for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is a great all-rounder, aluminium is lightweight and  heats fast, but for baking and  roasting, nothing beats the even heat of granite enamel.

Know Your GN Size

Check if your oven needs 1/1, 2/3, or 1/2 GN. Using the wrong size can block airflow and  lead to poor cooking results. This one is a 2/3GN.

Consider the Depth

A 20mm deep tray is for baking biscuits. A 40mm deep GN tray like this is for pies and  roasts, while 65mm+ is for casseroles or holding sauces.

Solid vs. Perforated

Solid trays are for roasting, baking and  anything with liquid. Perforated trays are essential for steaming vegetables, fish, or dumplings.

Brand Match for Best Results

Using a genuine tray like this Rational one ensures a perfect fit, which is crucial for the advanced cooking technology in modern combi ovens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this tray dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it's designed for commercial dishwashers. However, for the longest life, handwashing is often recommended to protect the enamel finish from harsh detergents over time.

Q: Can I use metal utensils on this tray?

A: We'd advise against it. To keep the non-stick enamel in top condition, it's best to use silicone, wood, or heat-resistant nylon utensils.

Q: Will this 2/3GN tray fit in my standard home oven?

A: It's unlikely. Gastronorm sizes are for commercial ovens. Always measure your oven's internal dimensions before ordering.

Q: What's the main advantage of this over a Rational stainless steel tray 2/3GN?

A: The granite enamel provides far superior heat retention, resulting in better browning, crispier bases, and  more even cooking, especially for baked goods and  roasts.

Q: Does this tray need to be seasoned like cast iron?

A: No, it doesn't. The enamel coating provides a ready-to-use, non-stick surface that doesn't require seasoning.

Q: Is this tray suitable for induction cooking?

A: No, this tray is designed specifically for use inside a combi oven and  is not suitable for use on an induction hob.

Q: Can I use this tray for freezing?

A: Yes, the enamel is durable enough for freezer use, but avoid transferring it directly from a hot oven to a freezer to prevent thermal shock.

Q: What does 2/3GN mean?

A: It refers to a standard size in professional kitchens. A 2/3 Gastronorm tray measures 354 x 325mm, which is two-thirds the size of a full 1/1 GN tray.

Ben Carter – Carter's Catering, London

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

Ever wonder what makes the granite enamel on this Rational combi oven tray 2/3GN so special? Think of it as the best of both worlds. It combines the incredible heat-holding power of old-school cast iron with a super-smooth, non-stick enamelled surface. While a standard stainless steel tray heats and  cools quickly, this tray soaks up heat and  radiates it evenly across the entire surface. The analogy? It's like having a portable pizza stone inside your high-tech oven. It gives you that perfect, crispy base on pizzas, pies, and  breads that's often so hard to achieve. Food continues to sizzle and  brown even after you've pulled it from the oven, making it perfect for 'cook and  serve' dishes.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastro Pubs: Absolutely perfect for getting that unbeatable crispy skin on roast chickens or potatoes for Sunday lunch.
  • High-Street Cafés: Ideal for baking batches of scones, flapjacks, or savoury tarts with a perfectly golden base every time.
  • Hotel Restaurants: A reliable workhorse for à la carte service, from roasting vegetables to finishing individual gratins.
  • School & University Kitchens: Its durable build is great for high-volume cooking of everything from pizzas to baked pasta dishes.
