Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in this GN pan?
A: The pan is manufactured from food-grade stainless steel meeting commercial kitchen hygiene standards. The exact grade (304 or 430) depends on production batch but both meet CE/NSF/CSA food contact requirements. Contact for grade specification if procurement policy requires specific steel grade documentation.
Q: What is the load-bearing capacity of this 40mm deep pan?
A: Load capacity depends on support method and contents density. When fully supported on gastronorm racking or bain-marie ledges, the pan holds approximately 3-4 litres of liquid or semi-solid food. Avoid point-load stress on pan edges during handling.
Q: Can this pan be used in heated bain-marie units?
A: Yes, the stainless steel construction tolerates heat from bain-marie water baths and hot holding equipment. Verify that your bain-marie accepts GN1/2 pan dimensions before ordering. The 40mm depth is commonly used for sauce and garnish holding during service.
Q: Are matching lids available for this GN1/2 pan?
A: Standard GN1/2 lids fit this 265mm × 325mm pan footprint. TurcoBazaar supplies compatible solid and perforated lids separately. Contact for lid options if you require sealed storage or stacking in refrigeration units.
Q: Can this pan size be customized for non-standard depth requirements?
A: This model is manufactured at fixed 40mm depth for standard gastronorm compatibility. Custom depth pans require minimum order quantities and extended lead times. Contact with depth specifications if standard GN depths do not suit your operation.
