- Model: PH201
The PH201 is a stainless steel Gastronorm pan conforming to GN1/2 standard dimensions (325 x 265 mm) with 20 mm depth and 0.85 litre capacity. It functions as a containment vessel for ingredient prep, portioning, cold storage, and service line organisation in commercial kitchens. Used by hotel kitchens, restaurant prep stations, catering operations, and central production facilities.
Commercial Application
GN1/2 pans slot into standardised racking, chilled prep tables, bain-marie units, and blast chillers without adapters. The 20 mm shallow depth suits portioned ingredients, garnishes, sliced proteins, and mise en place during service prep. Operators stack multiple units in walk-in refrigeration or transport them in GN trolleys between stations.
During service, the pan sits in heated holding cabinets or refrigerated wells on serving counters. The 0.85 litre capacity handles single-shift portion volumes for sauces, diced vegetables, or prepped garnishes. Kitchen staff transfer contents directly to plating stations without decanting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the PH201 made from 304 or 430 grade stainless steel?
A: The pan uses food-grade stainless steel suitable for commercial kitchen use. Specific grade confirmation available on request for operations with material traceability requirements.
Q: What load capacity does the pan support when stacked?
A: Safe stacking height depends on stored contents and shelf load rating. Most commercial GN racking supports 10-12 stacked pans when filled to 80% capacity with semi-solid ingredients.
Q: Does the pan fit standard GN1/2 lids and covers?
A: Yes. The 325 x 265 mm footprint accepts any CE-compliant GN1/2 lid for sealed storage in refrigerated units.
Q: Can the PH201 withstand blast chiller temperatures?
A: Stainless steel construction tolerates rapid cooling from 70°C to 3°C without warping. Avoid thermal shock by allowing gradual temperature adjustment when moving from heated holding to blast chilling.
Q: Is custom sizing available for non-standard racking?
A: The PH201 conforms to fixed GN1/2 standard dimensions. Custom pan fabrication requires minimum order quantities and extended lead times for bespoke prep table configurations.
