Product Overview

Running a busy buffet or hot food servery means keeping food at the perfect temperature isn't just a goal, it's essential. The Rieber Thermoplate Nano buffet pan is a remarkable piece of German engineering designed to do just that, but far more efficiently than your standard stainless steel pans. With an innovative aluminium core and  a special non-stick nano-surface, it heats up and  cools down incredibly fast, saving you energy and  time during a hectic service.

This 1/1GN, 100mm deep pan is for any professional kitchen that refuses to compromise on quality. Whether you're running a five-star hotel breakfast buffet, a large-scale event catering service, or a high-end staff canteen, this pan offers unparalleled performance. It’s compatible with virtually any heat source, including induction, making it one of the most versatile and  hard-working pans you can have in your arsenal.

Think of it as the high-performance engine of your food servery. It’s robust, scratch-resistant, and  ridiculously easy to clean, meaning it not only performs brilliantly but also looks the part for longer.

Expert Review and  Insights

Let's be honest, not all GN pans are created equal. The Rieber Thermoplate is a proper bit of kit. In testing, its ability to heat evenly right to the corners is genuinely impressive, eliminating those dreaded cold spots you get with cheaper pans. It’s an investment, for sure, but the energy savings and  sheer durability make it a sound choice for any serious food operation.

  • Consideration: The nano-surface requires non-abrasive cleaning to maintain its performance.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hotel in Bath was looking to elevate its renowned breakfast buffet service and  reduce energy consumption. They replaced their entire range of standard stainless steel pans with the Rieber Thermoplate Nano system.

"The difference was immediate. The pans get up to temperature in a fraction of the time, and  the food quality is visibly better because there are no hot or cold spots. Our chefs are delighted, and  the non-stick surface has made cleaning so much faster after a busy morning service."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The hotel reported a noticeable reduction in food waste and  a 15% decrease in the energy used by their hot servery units.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water.
  • When using on a hob, ensure the pan base is clean and  dry for best contact.
  • For buffet lines, pre-heat the pan for a few minutes for optimal performance.
  • Avoid using extreme high heat settings immediately; bring it up to temperature gradually.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the pan to cool before washing to prevent warping.
  • Use non-abrasive sponges or cloths to protect the nano-surface.
  • While scratch-resistant, it's best to use silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils.
  • Stack carefully, placing a pan liner or cloth in between if possible to prolong the life of the coating.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN pan is the right fit for your business? Here are a few things to consider.

Material Matters

Standard stainless steel is a workhorse, but consider polycarbonate for cold storage and  advanced options like this Rieber Thermoplate for superior heating and  energy efficiency.

Size and  Depth

1/1GN is the industry standard size, but ensure the depth (e.g., 100mm) is right for the food you're serving. Deeper pans are great for liquids like stews, while shallower ones are for items like sausages or fish.

Lid Options

Do you need a solid lid for stacking and  transport, a notched lid for serving utensils, or a hinged lid for easy access? Check for compatible lid options.

Temperature Range

Consider the pan's primary use. Will it be in a hot bain-marie, a freezer, or an oven? Ensure the material is rated for the temperatures you require.

Stacking and  Storage

Look for pans with anti-jam stacking lugs, which prevent them from sticking together when nested, saving you time and  frustration during busy periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I really use this pan on an induction hob?

A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed for use on all common heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, and  ceramic hobs.

Q: How is this different from a normal stainless steel buffet pan?

A: The key difference is the multi-layer material with an aluminium core. This allows it to heat up and  cool down much faster and  more evenly, saving significant energy.

Q: Is the nano-surface a type of Teflon?

A: No, it's a unique, robust nano-technology coating that provides excellent non-stick properties and  is far more durable and  scratch-resistant than typical consumer non-stick coatings.

Q: Can I use metal utensils?

A: While the surface is very tough, we recommend using silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils to maximise the lifespan of the non-stick surface.

Q: What does '1/1GN' actually mean?

A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, a European standard for kitchenware sizes. 1/1GN is the base size, measuring approximately 530 x 325mm.

Q: Is the pan heavy?

A: At 3.1kg, it's surprisingly lightweight for its performance, thanks to the aluminium core, making it easier to handle than a solid steel equivalent.

Q: How should I clean it to protect the coating?

A: It is dishwasher safe. For manual washing, use warm, soapy water and  a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh scouring pads.

Q: Can I put this pan directly in the oven?

A: Yes, the Rieber Thermoplate is suitable for oven use, adding to its versatility in the kitchen.

The Rieber Advantage: Built for Performance and  Profit

Choosing Rieber isn't just about buying a pan; it's an investment in German engineering that pays dividends over time. For decades, Rieber has been a leader in creating foodservice solutions that focus on efficiency and  quality. This Rieber Thermoplate Nano buffet pan is the perfect example. The energy savings from its rapid heating are measurable, directly reducing your daily operating costs. Its robust construction means you're not replacing worn-out, scratched, or warped pans every year. This long-term durability, combined with the consistent food quality it delivers, protects your brand's reputation and  improves your bottom line. In a professional kitchen where every minute and  every penny counts, the reliability and  efficiency engineered into every Rieber product provide a clear, competitive edge.

How an Aluminium Core Transforms Your Servery

You've seen that the Rieber 1/1GN Thermoplate has an aluminium core, but what does that actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it like the difference between a standard saucepan and  a high-end chef's pan. A basic steel pan heats up slowly and  often has hot spots, meaning you have to keep stirring to avoid burning. The Rieber pan, with its aluminium layer sandwiched by stainless steel, spreads heat almost instantly and  perfectly evenly across the entire base and  up the walls. This means no more lukewarm corners in your macaroni cheese or dried-out edges on your curry. It holds its temperature with less energy, keeping food safer and  tasting better for longer.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotel Breakfast Buffets: Keep scrambled eggs, bacon, and  sausages perfectly warm and  appealing for guests.
  • Event Caterers: Ideal for mobile operations needing fast, reliable heating and  professional presentation.
  • Contract Caterers: Perfect for staff canteens or university halls serving hundreds of meals daily.
  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Excellent for holding delicate sauces or prepped ingredients on the pass.
