Stainless steel Gastronorm Pan GN1/3 Depth 20mm | PH310

Q: What stainless steel grade is the PH310 manufactured from?

A: The PH310 uses commercial-grade stainless steel meeting food-contact standards. Most GN containers use 18/8 (304) or 18/0 (430) alloy depending on manufacturing batch. Both grades resist corrosion and comply with CE, NSF, and CSA hygiene requirements.

Q: What is the load-bearing capacity at 20mm depth?

A: At 20mm depth, the pan holds approximately 0.9 to 1.1 litres depending on fill method. Load capacity relates to pan rigidity and liquid density. The shallow profile distributes weight across the base, suitable for sauces and garnishes but not heavy bulk ingredients.

Q: Does the PH310 fit standard GN racking and bain-marie units?

A: Yes. GN1/3 dimensions (176.5mm × 325mm) conform to Gastronorm international sizing standards. The pan fits commercial racks, steam tables, bain-maries, and refrigerated prep rails without modification.

Q: Can the PH310 withstand blast chiller and combi-oven use?

A: The stainless steel construction tolerates rapid temperature change in blast chillers. Combi-oven use depends on maximum temperature ratings and manufacturer guidance. Most shallow GN pans handle steam and regeneration cycles but verify thermal limits for prolonged high-heat exposure.

Q: Is the PH310 available in custom depths or other GN sizes?

A: The PH310 is a fixed-depth model at 20mm. TurcoBazaar supplies other depths (40mm, 65mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm) and GN sizes (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/9, 2/3) from the same product line. Contact for specific dimension requirements or custom manufacturing inquiries.
