Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a busy sandwich bar in Leeds, needed a more organised and  hygienic way to store their fresh salad and  sandwich fillings on their main prep counter.

"These pans have tidied up our prep line completely. Everything has its place, it looks professional, and  our service is much quicker as a result. No more messy plastic tubs!"

David Chen – Owner

The business estimates a 20% reduction in prep time for each sandwich, helping them streamline their busy lunch rush and  serve more customers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Always wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and  rinse before first use.
  • The overhanging rim is designed to slot easily into standard prep counters or buffet stations.
  • Check for any labels or packaging residue and  remove them completely.

Keeping It Going

  • This pan is fully commercial dishwasher safe for a quick and  hygienic clean.
  • For stubborn, baked-on food, soak in warm water rather than using harsh steel wool or scourers.
  • Stack them when completely dry to prevent water spots and  ensure they separate easily next time.
  • Regularly check the corners for any significant dents that could be difficult to clean.

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.

Consider the Depth

This 65mm pan is great for sauces and  toppings. For bulk items like cooked pasta or salad, you might want to look at 100mm or 150mm deep pans.

Material Matters

This stainless steel pan is the perfect all-rounder for cooking, storing, and  serving. For microwave use, you’d need a polycarbonate (plastic) version.

What's 'Gauge'?

Gauge refers to the thickness of the steel. A lower gauge number (like 20 on this pan) means thicker, more durable metal that's less prone to warping.

Mix and  Match Sizes

A standard 1/1 GN counter slot can fit two 1/2 pans, three 1/3 pans, or six of these 1/6 pans. Planning your layout is key to efficiency!

Don't Forget Lids

If you're using these pans for storage in the fridge or freezer, be sure to buy the matching lids to keep food fresh and  prevent cross-contamination.

Proper solid bit of kit. You can't have too many of these in the kitchen. Does the job perfectly, every time.

Mark T. – Pub Kitchen, Manchester

A really good value pan. It's a little thinner than some of the top-end ones, but for this price, it's brilliant.

The Vogue Standard: Everyday Reliability

Beyond its dimensions and  steel grade, the true value of a Vogue gastronorm pan lies in its sheer dependability. For over 50 years, EasyEquipment has seen brands come and  go, but Vogue remains a cornerstone of the UK's professional kitchens for one simple reason: it delivers consistent performance without the premium price tag. This isn't just a stainless steel container for a commercial kitchen; it's a piece of equipment designed to be used, abused, and  washed hundreds of times, freeing you to focus on food, not your kit. Investing in Vogue means investing in predictability – knowing your tools won't let you down during the busiest service, which is a bottom-line benefit every chef and  business owner can appreciate.

The Genius of Gastronorm: Why Standard Sizing Matters

Ever wondered what 'GN' actually means? It stands for Gastronorm, which is a universal European size standard for kitchen containers. Think of it like A4 paper for office printers; it’s a system designed to make sure everything fits together, no matter the brand. A '1/1' is the master size (530x325mm), and  this '1/6' pan is exactly one-sixth of that area. This means your Vogue pan will slot perfectly into a saladette from Polar or a hot holding unit from Lincat. It’s the secret language of kitchen equipment that guarantees compatibility, saving you the massive headache of mismatched kit.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops: Perfect for holding chocolate sprinkles, syrups, and  pre-portioned ingredients by the coffee machine.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A must-have for organising your 'mise en place' or holding delicate sauces on the line.
  • Hotel Buffets: Ideal for serving everything from breakfast jams and  butter to salad bar toppings and  condiments.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: Their stackable, durable nature makes them brilliant for saving space and  surviving transit.
