  • Cons: Its specific design means it's unsuitable for holding sauces or liquids.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Coastal Kitchen, a busy seafood bistro in Brighton, was struggling to get a consistent finish on their steamed sea bass, which often became waterlogged in standard pans.

"We switched to these Vogue perforated pans for all our steaming. The difference was immediate. The steam circulates properly, and  the fish cooks perfectly every single time. Our customers have even commented on the improved texture."

David Chen – Head Chef

The change resulted in perfectly steamed fish for every order and  cut down prep-to-plate time by 15% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Check that the 1/2 GN size fits correctly in your steamer, oven racks, or bain-marie.
  • Handle with care – while durable, dropping it on a corner can cause dents.
  • Always ensure the pan is stable on the rack or surface before loading it with food.

Keeping It Going

  • This pan is fully dishwasher safe for quick and  easy cleaning.
  • For stubborn food residue, soak in warm water rather than using steel wool or harsh abrasives.
  • Stack carefully with other GN pans to prevent scratching and  dents.
  • Regularly check for any sharp edges or damage to ensure continued food safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

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

Depth Perception

Consider what you're cooking. Deeper pans (100mm, 150mm) are great for bulk items, while shallower pans (20mm, 40mm) are better for grilling or smaller portions.

Solid vs. Perforated

It's simple: use a 1/2 size perforated GN tray like this one for steaming and  draining. For everything else, like sauces, roasts, or baking, you'll need a solid pan.

Know Your Sizing

GN sizing is universal. A 1/2 pan is half the size of a full 1/1 pan. Check your equipment to see what sizes it can accommodate before you buy.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason – it's durable, hygienic, and  doesn't react with food. Polycarbonate is a lighter option, good for cold storage.

Don't Forget Lids

If you plan on storing or transporting food, you'll need a lid. These are usually sold separately, so make sure to grab one that matches your pan size.

Why a Perforated Pan is Your Secret Weapon for Steaming

Ever wondered what makes a commercial perforated GN pan 100mm so useful? It's all about mastering moisture and  heat. Think of it like a heavy-duty colander that fits perfectly into your professional setup. When you use a solid pan for steaming, water condenses and  pools at the bottom, essentially boiling the lower layer of your food. This can lead to mushy vegetables or waterlogged fish.

The perforated design of the Vogue K845 solves this. The holes allow hot steam to completely envelop the food from every angle, cooking it quickly and  evenly. At the same time, any excess water or condensation drains straight through, keeping your ingredients perfectly tender-crisp. It's the simplest way to get consistently better results, whether you're steaming broccoli, mussels, or dumplings.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for steaming batches of vegetables or fish, ensuring they come out crisp and  flaky, not soggy.
  • Canteens & Contract Caterers: Ideal for draining large quantities of pasta or boiled potatoes quickly and  efficiently during busy services.
  • Fish & Chip Shops: Excellent for holding battered fish post-frying, allowing excess oil to drain away before serving.
  • Event & Mobile Caterers: A lightweight and  durable option for transporting and  serving pre-washed salad or prepped vegetables.
