This perforated GN1/2 pan measures 325×265×150mm and drains liquid during washing, blanching, or steaming operations. Commercial kitchens use it in vegetable prep stations, pasta cooking lines, and steam table setups. The perforations allow rapid drainage and air circulation during storage or cooling.
Commercial Application
Kitchen staff load washed vegetables, blanched ingredients, or steamed items into the pan for transport between stations. The perforations drain away excess water without manual tipping. This reduces cross-contamination risk and speeds workflow during high-volume service periods.
Prep cooks place the pan under running water to rinse leafy greens or root vegetables. Steam table operators use it as an insert above solid pans to keep vegetables elevated from condensation. The 150mm depth holds 8-10 litres of product depending on ingredient density.
Key Operational Advantages
- 325×265mm footprint fits standard GN1/2 slots in counters, refrigerators, and bain-marie wells

- Perforated base and sidewalls drain liquid in 15-20 seconds after removal from water or steam
- Stainless steel construction withstands repeated thermal shock from boiling water to cold rinse cycles
- CE-certified food contact surface meets UK, EU, USA and Canadian commercial kitchen standards
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint when 6-8 units stored vertically in dry storage areas

Construction & Build Quality
The pan uses food-grade stainless steel with uniform perforation pattern across base and lower sidewalls. Rolled edges prevent sharp contact points during handling. Commercial gauge steel resists denting under typical kitchen loading conditions.
- Food-grade stainless steel body with rolled safety edges on all four sides
- Uniform 6-8mm perforation pattern across base and 40mm up sidewalls
- Commercial gauge steel maintains shape under 8-10kg load capacity
- Welded corners resist separation during repeated thermal cycling and washing

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What steel grade is used in this GN1/2 perforated pan?
A: The pan uses food-grade stainless steel meeting CE food contact standards. Grade specification (304 or 430) varies by production batch. Contact TurcoBazaar before purchase if your operation requires certified 304 grade for high-acidity food contact.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity for this 150mm deep pan?
A: The pan holds 8-10 litres by volume depending on ingredient density. Maximum recommended load is 8-10kg to prevent base deflection during transport. Overloading causes temporary bowing that returns to flat when emptied.
Q: Can this perforated pan sit inside a solid GN1/2 pan?
A: Yes, the external dimensions match standard GN1/2 slots so it nests inside solid pans with 5-8mm clearance. Kitchen staff use this configuration to collect drained liquid in the bottom pan during vegetable washing or protein thawing.
Q: How quickly does water drain through the perforations?
A: A full 10-litre load drains in 15-20 seconds when lifted from water. Perforation size and distribution provide rapid drainage without allowing small-grain items like rice or couscous to pass through.
Q: Is this pan compatible with blast chillers and combi ovens?
A: The pan withstands temperature range from -40°C to +300°C for blast chilling and steam cooking operations. Verify your specific equipment manufacturer allows perforated pans before use, as some combi oven models restrict perforated containers due to steam circulation design.
