  • Pro: Heats up quickly and  evenly, giving you a reliable, consistent bake across the surface.
  • Con: Like all aluminium, it can discolour with certain detergents, so hand-washing is best.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Café in York was struggling with inconsistent baking from their old, mixed-brand trays. They needed to standardise their bakeware to fit their new combi oven and  ensure every batch of their famous brownies came out perfect.

"We switched to the Schneider GT145 trays and  the difference was immediate. They fit our racks perfectly, heat so evenly, and  have made our whole baking operation much more streamlined. No more rotating trays halfway through a bake!"

Robert Davies – Owner

By standardising with this gastronorm aluminium baking tray, The Copper Kettle Café achieved a more consistent final product and  reduced bake-monitoring time by 20%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • First-time Wash: Before its first use, give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check Your Racking: As it's a standard GN 1/1 size, it should fit perfectly, but it's always worth double-checking the clearance on your oven shelves.
  • Consider a Liner: For particularly sticky or acidic foods, using baking parchment or a reusable silicone mat will make cleanup even easier and  protect the aluminium surface.

Keeping It Going

  • Hand-Wash Recommended: To keep your tray in top condition, avoid harsh dishwasher detergents which can cause discoloration. A quick hand-wash is all it needs.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Don't use steel wool or harsh scouring pads, as they will scratch the surface. A non-scratch sponge is ideal.
  • Store Correctly: Stack the trays neatly when dry. Avoid placing heavy, sharp objects on top to prevent dents and  scratches.
  • Cool Down Naturally: Try not to plunge a hot tray into cold water, as this thermal shock can cause warping over time. Let it cool for a few minutes first.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Baking Tray

Not sure what fits best? Finding the right baking tray can make a real difference to your daily operations. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose wisely.

Material Matters

Aluminium is lightweight and  a fantastic heat conductor, making it ideal for even baking. Stainless steel is heavier and  more durable but doesn't conduct heat as well. Non-stick coatings are convenient but can wear over time in a commercial setting.

Know Your Standards

Gastronorm (GN) sizing is the industry standard. Buying GN-sized trays ensures they will fit your ovens, fridges, and  counters, creating a more efficient kitchen. A GN 1/1 (530x325mm) is the most common and  versatile size.

Edge Styles

A lipped or rimmed tray, like this one, provides rigidity and  makes it easier to handle. A flat, rimless sheet is better for sliding off delicate bakes like biscuits directly onto a cooling rack.

Thickness is Key

In a commercial environment, avoid thin, flimsy trays. A thicker gauge of metal means more durability, better resistance to warping, and  a longer service life. It's an investment in reliability.

Match to Your Menu

Think about what you'll use it for most. Roasting heavy joints of meat? A robust, deep tray might be better. For pastries and  bread, a flat, conductive aluminium baking tray 530x325mm is perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this baking tray dishwasher safe?

A: To prolong its life and  appearance, we strongly recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth. Harsh dishwasher chemicals can cause aluminium to discolour over time.

Q: What does GN 1/1 mean?

A: It refers to the Gastronorm standard size, which is 530mm x 325mm. This ensures it's compatible with most commercial kitchen equipment like ovens and  refrigerators.

Q: Can I use metal utensils on this tray?

A: Metal utensils can scratch the aluminium surface. We suggest using silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic tools to keep it in the best condition.

Q: Will the tray warp at high temperatures?

A: The tray is designed for commercial oven temperatures. However, like any metal, extreme and  sudden temperature changes (like plunging a hot tray into cold water) can cause warping.

Q: How heavy is the Schneider GT145 baking sheet?

A: It's very light and  easy to manage, weighing just 0.73kg.

Q: Can I use this for acidic foods like a tomato base?

A: For short-term cooking, it's fine. For prolonged contact with highly acidic or salty foods, it's a good idea to use a liner like baking parchment to prevent any potential reaction with the aluminium.

Q: How should I store these trays?

A: They are designed to be stacked. Simply ensure they are clean and  dry before stacking them neatly to save space.

Q: Is this tray suitable for induction hobs?

A: No, this tray is made of aluminium and  is designed for oven use only. It will not work on an induction hob.
