Expert Review and  Insights

The Vogue CB179 is a classic for a reason. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel; it’s just a brilliant, tough-as-nails gastronorm pan.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Top Marks: The integrated handles are a huge win for kitchen safety and  efficiency.
  • Heads Up: Being all-metal, it gets incredibly hot, so always use oven gloves.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, was struggling with an inefficient workflow. Their kitchen team was losing precious time and  risking spills moving pans without handles from their combi oven to the front-of-house carvery station.

"We switched to these Vogue pans with handles and  the difference was instant. The team can move quicker and  with more confidence, especially with hot liquids. It’s a small change that has made our Sunday service run so much more smoothly."

Robert Evans – Head Chef

The upgrade significantly reduced transit time between stations and  minimised spills during busy service periods, improving both safety and  speed.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first use, give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and  rinse well to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check that your oven, fridge, or bain-marie racking is configured for GN 1/1 containers to ensure a snug and  secure fit.
  • The pan is ready for use straight away in ovens, refrigerators, blast chillers, and  freezers.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after every use to maintain food safety standards. The pan is fully dishwasher safe.
  • For stubborn, baked-on food, soak in warm, soapy water rather than using abrasive steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
  • Stack carefully when storing to prevent dents and  scratches, ensuring they are completely dry to avoid water spots.
  • Periodically check the handles to ensure they remain solidly attached and  have not been damaged.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN pan is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Depth is Key

This 100mm deep pan is a great all-rounder, but consider shallower (20/40/65mm) pans for things like bacon or deeper (150/200mm) pans for soups or boiling.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is fantastic for cooking and  durability. For cold storage or display, you might also consider clear polycarbonate pans to easily see the contents.

Get the Right Size

This is a full GN 1/1. Make sure it fits your equipment. If you need to offer more variety in a small space, consider two GN 1/2 pans instead.

Handles or No Handles?

For pans that will be moved frequently, especially when hot, the integrated handles on this model are a massive safety and  convenience benefit.

Don't Forget Lids

If you're using pans for storage or transport, remember to buy the corresponding lids. They come in various styles, including sealed and  notched for utensils.

Q: Are the handles oven-proof as well?

A: Yes, the handles are integrated into the stainless steel construction, so they are just as heat-resistant as the rest of the pan.

Q: Is it suitable for use on an induction hob?

What is Gastronorm (GN) Sizing and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered what 'GN 1/1' actually means? Gastronorm (GN) is a European standard for kitchenware and  equipment sizes. Think of it like LEGO for professional kitchens. A GN 1/1 pan like this one (530 x 325mm) is the 'base' size, and  all other GN containers are fractions of it (like GN 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc.). This means your GN pans will fit perfectly into any other GN-compatible equipment, whether it's your oven, fridge, blast chiller, storage rack, or buffet display. This universal standardisation is a huge help in a busy kitchen, as it saves space, prevents wasted time searching for the right lid or tray, and  makes your entire operation more organised and  efficient. It ensures everything just... fits.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotels & Function Venues: Perfect for holding large batches of food on a buffet line or for room service prep.
  • Restaurants & Pubs: An essential for the service line, holding everything from chips to pre-cooked meats and  sauces.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: The sturdy handles on this 1/1 gn container with handles make transporting food from kitchen to venue simple and  secure.
  • Canteens & Cafeterias: Ideal for serving popular dishes like pasta bakes, curries, or vegetables to a crowd.
