Product Overview
Ever felt that sinking feeling when your perfectly cooked food goes lukewarm on the buffet line? We’ve all been there. This isn’t just another metal tray; the Rieber 065 Thermoplate GN Pan is a bit of German engineering genius designed to solve that exact problem. Its clever aluminium core conducts heat (or cold!) up to ten times better than standard stainless steel, meaning your food stays at the perfect temperature from the first serving to the last.
It’s an absolute must-have for any business that takes its food presentation seriously. Think bustling hotel breakfast buffets, high-end event caterers, and corporate canteens where quality is key. The superb non-stick coating means service is smooth, portions slide out cleanly, and the washing up afterwards is a doddle. No more scrubbing away at baked-on food after a long shift.
This is a true kitchen workhorse that works as hard as you do. It’s compatible with induction, ceramic, and electric hobs, and it’s tough enough for the daily grind of a commercial kitchen. If you're ready to cut down on food waste and serve every single dish at its absolute best, this is the pan you've been waiting for.

Expert Review and Insights
The Rieber Thermoplate isn't just an incremental improvement; it's a fundamental step up in how we manage food on a service line. The speed at which it heats and cools is remarkable, providing a level of control that standard pans simply can't match. For any buffet operation, this translates directly into better quality food and less waste.
Hannah Cartwright – Buffet Equipment Expert View Profile →
- Pros: Unbeatable temperature consistency eliminates hot and cold spots entirely.
- Cons: The advanced coating requires non-metal utensils to ensure its longevity.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Thistle Hotel in Edinburgh needed to upgrade its entire breakfast buffet setup ahead of the festival season, as their old stainless steel pans were causing inconsistent heating and significant food waste.
"We were constantly rotating pans and throwing away food that had dried out under the heat lamps. The Rieber Thermoplates hold their temperature so evenly, the food quality has soared. Guests have noticed, and our chefs are far less stressed during a busy service."
Robert Miller – Head Chef
After the switch, the hotel reported a 35% reduction in breakfast buffet food waste and received multiple positive guest reviews specifically mentioning the quality and temperature of the food.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the pan a quick wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Ensure your induction hob or heating element is clean and flat for optimal contact.
- While durable, always lift the pan onto surfaces rather than sliding it to protect both the pan and your countertop.
- When heating, start on a medium setting before increasing to high to allow for even temperature distribution.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the non-stick coating, always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
- Avoid abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals; a soft sponge and standard washing-up liquid are all you need.
- Allow the pan to cool down before washing to prevent thermal shock, which can damage the coating over time.
- When stacking for storage, place a soft cloth or pan protector between each pan to prevent scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this pan in the oven?
A: Absolutely. It's designed to be versatile and is perfectly safe for use in commercial ovens as well as on various hobs.
Q: Is the non-stick coating durable enough for a commercial kitchen?
A: Yes, it's a high-quality coating specifically designed to withstand the rigours of daily commercial use, as long as you care for it properly.
Q: What is the main advantage over a standard stainless steel GN pan?
A: The key difference is speed and evenness. Its aluminium core heats up much faster and distributes that heat evenly, eliminating cold spots and improving food quality.
Q: Can I use this for cold food on a refrigerated buffet counter?
A: Yes, its excellent thermal conductivity works both ways. It will hold the cold temperature just as efficiently as it holds heat, keeping salads crisp and desserts chilled.
Q: Will it work with my existing 1/1 GN lids?
A: Yes, it adheres to standard 1/1 Gastronorm dimensions, so your existing lids should fit perfectly.
Q: What does 'PFOA-free' mean?
A: It means the non-stick coating is manufactured without Perfluorooctanoic acid, a specific chemical, making it a safer and more modern choice for food contact surfaces.
Q: Do I need to use metal utensils?
A: We strongly recommend using only silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface and ensure the pan's longevity.
Q: Is it heavy to carry when full?
A: At just 2.7kg, it's remarkably lightweight for its performance, making it easier and safer for staff to transport from the kitchen to the service area.
The Rieber Difference: Engineering for Flawless Service
When you invest in Rieber, you're buying more than just a pan; you're investing in decades of German engineering focused on one thing: operational excellence. The Rieber 065 Thermoplate GN Pan is a prime example of this philosophy. Beyond the immediate benefit of better-tasting food, it delivers tangible business value. The rapid heat-up time means lower energy bills over the year. The superior temperature holding reduces food waste, directly impacting your bottom line. Furthermore, the sheer reliability of a Rieber product means fewer replacements and less kitchen downtime. It's an asset built to withstand the relentless pace of a professional kitchen, delivering consistent, predictable results day in, day out. This isn't just about serving hot food; it's about building a smarter, more efficient, and more profitable food service operation.
The Science of a Perfect Serve: Why the Aluminium Core Matters
Ever wonder why a standard steel pan has frustrating hot spots? It’s because steel, on its own, isn’t a brilliant conductor of heat. The magic inside this Rieber coated Thermoplate 1/1GN 65mm is its SWISS-PLY construction. Think of it like a high-tech sandwich: two layers of durable stainless steel with a highly conductive aluminium core pressed in between. The aluminium acts like a superhighway for heat (or cold!), spreading it almost instantly and evenly across the entire base and up the sides. So, while a normal pan is slowly warming up in patches, the Thermoplate is already at a perfectly uniform temperature, ensuring there are no cold corners or scorched centres. It’s the secret to consistent, high-quality results, every single time.
Who Should Buy This?
- Luxury Hotels: Perfect for keeping breakfast buffets and conference lunches at five-star quality from start to finish.
- Event Caterers: Its lightweight design and superior heat retention are ideal for mobile setups and pop-up events.
- Corporate Canteens: Ensure every dish on the lunch line is as hot and appetising as the first one served.
- Premium Delis & Farm Shops: Excellent for hot counters, ensuring dishes like lasagne or shepherd's pie look and taste great for hours.
