This GN1/2 stainless steel gastronorm pan measures 325 x 265 x 100 mm with 5.5 litre capacity. It holds, transports and stores prepared ingredients in commercial kitchens operating under HACCP protocols. The 100 mm depth accommodates marinated proteins, cooked vegetables, sauces and batch-prepared components during service.
Commercial Application
GN1/2 pans fit into standard counter rails, heated bain-marie units, blast chillers and refrigerated prep tables. The standardised footprint allows direct transfer between preparation, holding and service stations without decanting. Operators use this size for portioning mise en place, holding par-cooked items, and transporting bulk ingredients from walk-in storage to active prep zones.
During peak service, the 5.5 litre volume holds enough product for 40–60 plated portions depending on portion size. Line cooks pull these pans from hot wells or refrigerated drawers as orders come in. The 100 mm depth prevents spillage during transport and allows stacking in walk-in coolers with appropriate lids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What steel grade is used in this GN1/2 pan?
A: The pan uses 18/0 stainless steel (430 grade) suitable for food contact in commercial kitchens. This grade provides corrosion resistance for daily wash cycles and meets CE hygiene standards. It handles temperature ranges from blast chilling to heated holding without material degradation.
Q: What load capacity does the 100 mm depth support?
A: The reinforced rim supports up to 15 kg when fully loaded with dense ingredients like braised meats or thick sauces. Structural integrity remains stable when stacked three pans high in refrigerated storage. The welded corners prevent flexing under weight during transport.
Q: Do you supply matching lids for refrigerated storage?
A: We stock compatible polypropylene and stainless steel lids for GN1/2 pans. Lids seal to within 2 mm of the rim for HACCP-compliant cold storage. Contact us with your order to add lids at the time of purchase.
Q: Can this pan go directly from blast chiller to oven?
A: The stainless steel construction withstands thermal shock from -40°C to +300°C without warping. Operators can move pans from blast chiller to regeneration ovens or bain-marie units. Avoid open flame contact with the base to prevent discolouration.
Q: Is custom sizing available for non-standard gastronorm layouts?
A: We supply standard GN sizes from our inventory. Custom pan fabrication requires minimum order quantities of 50+ units with 6–8 week lead time. Contact our sales team with dimensional requirements for quotation on bespoke sizes.
