You can tell a lot about a kitchen by its GNs. This Vogue pan isn't flashy, but it's exactly what you need: reliable, sturdy, and  perfectly sized for mise en place. It’s the kind of kit that works hard behind the scenes so your service runs smoothly. A real kitchen staple that won't let you down.

  • Pros: Excellent build quality for the price; it feels solid and  durable.
  • Cons: The lid is sold separately, so you'll need to factor that in.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in Bristol was using a mismatched collection of plastic and  metal containers, which made their prep fridge chaotic and  their front-of-house display look unprofessional. They decided to standardise their storage for a more efficient workflow.

"We were using a real mix of containers, which looked messy and  wasted space. Switching to these Vogue 1/3 GN pans immediately made our counter look smarter and  our prep fridge so much more organised. It’s a small change that made a big difference to our day."

David Chen – Owner, The Corner Deli

The team reported that they could now find and  access ingredients over 20% faster during the busy lunch rush, significantly cutting down on ticket times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Dry it completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and  maintain its professional shine.
  • If you've bought lids (sold separately), check for a snug fit before filling with food.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after every use to maintain food hygiene standards. This pan is safe for commercial dishwashers.
  • To remove stubborn, baked-on food, soak in warm, soapy water rather than using harsh abrasive pads which can scratch the steel.
  • Stack carefully when storing to prevent them from getting stuck together. A slight offset allows air to circulate.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure what fits best? Here are a few quick tips to help you choose the right gastronorm pan for your kitchen.

Size Matters

The GN size tells you how much counter space it takes up. A 1/3 GN like this is great for side dishes or ingredients, while a full 1/1 GN is best for main items like lasagne or roast joints.

Depth Perception

Shallow pans (20-60mm) are for small portions, grilling, or displaying items. Deeper pans (100mm+) are for holding liquids, sauces, or bulk-stored ingredients.

Material Choice

Stainless steel is the ultimate all-rounder for prep, storage, and  hot service. Polycarbonate is a lighter option, great for cold storage and  visibility.

Look for a Lip

A raised, reinforced rim or lip makes pans much easier and  safer to carry, especially when they're hot or full. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference.

Lids or No Lids?

Consider if you need lids for stacking, transport, or keeping food fresh. They are very useful but often sold separately, so check before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this pan suitable for use in an oven?

A: Yes, this stainless steel gastronorm pan is designed to be used for cooking and  reheating in commercial ovens.

A: Absolutely. Stainless steel is perfect for both hot and  cold applications, including rapid freezing and  chilling.

A: This pan is made from 0.8mm, 20-gauge stainless steel, offering a great balance of durability and  weight.

Proper solid bit of kit. We've got loads of these for our prep line and  they take a real beating but still look great after months of use.

Great value and  fits our servery perfectly. Just remember to order the lids separately if you need them, but can't complain for the price.

Chloe T. – Sandwich Bar Owner, Leeds

Does what it says on the tin. A simple, reliable stainless steel 1/3 GN container. We use them for everything from storing chopped veg to serving coleslaw.
