This stainless steel cooling rack fits GN1/1 pans measuring 530x325mm. It elevates baked goods, fried items, and cooked proteins 20mm above the pan base to accelerate cooling through increased airflow. Used in bakeries, restaurant kitchens, catering facilities, and hotel pastry sections.
Commercial Application
The rack sits inside standard GN1/1 pans during post-production cooling cycles. Air circulates beneath products, reducing condensation and maintaining crust integrity on bread, pastries, and fried items. Kitchen staff can stack multiple pan-and-rack assemblies in vertical racks or shelving units.
During high-volume service, cooling stations equipped with these racks process continuous batches without product base moisture. The 20mm clearance prevents soggy bottoms on baked goods and maintains texture on breaded proteins. Operators move entire pan assemblies from oven to cooling station without transferring individual items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is used in this cooling rack?
A: The rack uses SS201 stainless steel. This grade provides adequate corrosion resistance for dry cooling applications in commercial kitchens. For high-moisture or acidic environments, contact technical staff regarding 304-grade alternatives.
Q: What weight can this rack support inside a GN1/1 pan?
A: The wire grid supports typical bakery loads including bread loaves, pastries, and sheet cakes. Maximum recommended distributed load is 8-10 kg across the full surface. Concentrated point loads may cause wire deflection.
Q: Can this rack be used for protein cooling or only baked goods?
A: The rack handles both applications. Fried chicken, breaded fish, and roasted meats cool effectively on the wire surface. Ensure the GN pan beneath captures any residual drippings during the cooling cycle.
Q: Does the rack fit inside all GN1/1 pans or only specific models?
A: The 400x245mm dimensions fit standard GN1/1 pan internal dimensions. Minor variations exist between manufacturers. Most commercial GN1/1 pans accommodate this rack with 5-10mm clearance on all sides.
Q: Is this rack suitable for commercial dishwasher sanitation?
A: Yes. The stainless steel construction withstands high-temperature commercial dishwasher cycles. Position racks vertically in dishwasher racks to ensure complete water coverage across all wire surfaces.
