This GN1/3 pan measures 176.5mm × 325mm with 40mm depth. Fits standard gastronorm racking and bain-marie units. Used for ingredient portioning, cold prep holding, and hot service in commercial kitchens.
Commercial Application
The pan integrates with gastronorm-compatible refrigeration, holding cabinets, and serving counters. Operators use it to portion sauces, store prepped vegetables, or hold proteins during service. Standardised dimensions eliminate rack compatibility issues across equipment brands.
During service the 40mm depth accommodates 1.5–2 litres of product without spillage during transport. The shallow profile allows quick temperature recovery in bain-marie units. Stacking capability reduces cooler footprint when storing prepped ingredients overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is used in this GN1/3 pan?
A: Commercial-grade stainless steel suitable for direct food contact and commercial dishwasher use. The alloy resists corrosion from acidic ingredients and withstands temperature cycling between refrigeration and heated holding.
Q: What load capacity does the 40mm depth support?
A: The pan holds approximately 1.5–2 litres depending on product density. Structural rigidity supports up to 3kg of solid ingredients without deformation during transport between prep and service areas.
Q: Can this pan be used in combination with deeper GN1/3 units?
A: Yes. The standardised 176.5mm × 325mm footprint allows stacking with 65mm, 100mm, or 150mm depth pans in the same rack or cooler. Mixed-depth configurations optimise vertical space for different ingredient volumes.
Q: Does the pan fit bain-marie inserts and refrigerated prep tables?
A: The GN1/3 dimension is compatible with standard European and North American gastronorm frames. Verify that your equipment accommodates 40mm depth pans, as some bain-marie units require minimum 65mm depth for proper water bath operation.
Q: Is the pan available in custom sizes or with reinforced edges?
A: This model follows standard GN1/3 specifications. For non-standard dimensions or reinforced lip construction, contact TurcoBazaar with your equipment specifications. Custom fabrication available for orders above 50 units.
