This enamelled steel baking tray accepts GN1/2 format loads at 325×265×65mm dimensions. The 0.85mm enamelled steel construction provides a non-reactive surface for commercial bakery and roasting operations. Designed for deck ovens, convection ovens, and rapid cook systems in hotel kitchens and catering production facilities.
Commercial Application
GN1/2 format trays integrate directly with standard Gastronorm racking systems used across European and UK commercial kitchens. The 65mm depth accommodates roasting joints, portion-controlled bakery items, and batch cooking operations. Enamelled surface requires no greasing for most bakery applications.
Used during batch roasting, bread proofing, pastry preparation, and hot hold operations. The 0.9kg tray weight allows single-handed loading and unloading during high-volume service periods. Standard GN1/2 dimensions permit two trays side-by-side in full-size oven decks.
Key Operational Advantages
- GN1/2 standard dimensions: 325×265×65mm — compatible with all European Gastronorm systems
- 0.85mm enamelled steel construction — resists thermal shock and surface corrosion
- 0.9kg unit weight — reduces operator fatigue during repetitive loading cycles
- 65mm depth — handles roasting joints up to 4kg and bulk bakery batches
- Non-reactive enamelled surface — no metallic taste transfer to acidic or high-sugar preparations
- CE certified for commercial food contact use across UK, EU, USA and Canada

Construction & Build Quality
The tray uses 0.85mm gauge steel with factory-applied vitreous enamel coating. Enamel bonding occurs at 800°C, creating a glass-hard surface that resists chipping under normal commercial use. Rolled edges provide structural rigidity and prevent warping at oven temperatures up to 300°C.
- 0.85mm steel substrate with vitreous enamel bonding
- Rolled edge construction maintains flatness under thermal cycling
- Enamel coating fired at 800°C for permanent surface bonding
- Rated for continuous use at 280°C in convection and deck ovens
Suitable Operations
- Commercial kitchens
- Hotel prep areas
- Restaurant kitchens
- Catering production facilities

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What steel grade is used in the enamelled tray substrate?
A: The tray uses commercial-grade mild steel with 0.85mm thickness. Vitreous enamel coating provides corrosion resistance, eliminating the need for stainless steel substrate. The enamel surface meets food contact standards without stainless metallurgy.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity for the GN1/2 tray at 65mm depth?
A: The tray safely handles up to 6kg distributed load during oven use. Rolled edge construction prevents warping under roasting joints up to 4kg. Exceeding 6kg may cause permanent deformation at elevated oven temperatures.
Q: Does the enamelled surface require pre-seasoning or oil treatment?
A: No pre-treatment is required. The vitreous enamel surface provides natural non-stick properties for most bakery and roasting applications. Light oil application may be used for high-sugar preparations to prevent caramelized residue bonding.
Q: Can this tray withstand rapid temperature changes during blast chilling?
A: The enamel coating resists thermal shock from oven-to-chiller transfer cycles. Rapid cooling from 280°C to 3°C will not crack properly fired enamel. Avoid direct ice-water immersion of trays above 200°C to prevent substrate stress.
Q: Are custom GN sizes available beyond the standard 1/2 format?
A: TurcoBazaar stocks GN1/1, GN1/2, GN1/3, and GN2/3 formats in enamelled steel construction. Custom sizes require minimum order quantities of 200 units with 8-week lead times. Contact for non-standard Gastronorm format quotations.
