A stainless steel gastronorm container conforming to GN 1/2 dimension standard with 20 mm depth and 0.85 litre capacity. Used for ingredient portioning, sauce holding, and mise-en-place organisation in commercial kitchens. The shallow profile suits garnish prep, cold ingredients, and service line insertion.
Commercial Application
GN containers standardise ingredient storage and service workflow across hotel kitchens, restaurant prep areas, and catering production lines. This 20 mm depth pan handles cold mise-en-place ingredients, pre-portioned garnishes, and sauce service without vertical waste in prep fridges or bain-marie units.
Used during prep and service for ingredients requiring frequent access or visual monitoring. The shallow format reduces reach depth in refrigerated drawers and allows stacking without crushing delicate contents. Fits standard GN 1/2 slots in refrigerated counters, prep tables, and service line bain-marie inserts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in this GN pan?
A: Commercial-grade stainless steel suitable for food contact applications in UK and EU markets. The material resists corrosion from acidic ingredients and withstands commercial dishwasher cycles.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity for this 20 mm depth pan?
A: The shallow 20 mm depth limits capacity to 0.85 litres by volume. Suitable for lightweight ingredients such as garnishes, herbs, diced vegetables, and sauce portions. Not intended for dense bulk ingredient storage.
Q: Does this pan fit standard refrigerated GN drawer units?
A: Yes. The 325 × 265 mm footprint conforms to GN 1/2 dimension standard and fits all compatible refrigerated drawers, prep fridges, and bain-marie inserts manufactured to GN specifications.
Q: Can this pan be used in heated bain-marie service?
A: The stainless steel construction tolerates bain-marie water bath temperatures for sauce and garnish holding. The shallow depth reduces heat retention time, requiring close monitoring for temperature maintenance during extended service periods.
Q: Are matching lids available for refrigerated storage?
A: Polypropylene and stainless steel lids manufactured to GN 1/2 dimensions are available separately. Lids prevent cross-contamination and moisture loss during refrigerated storage between prep and service.
