The PH312 is a stainless steel Gastronorm pan built to GN1/3 sizing with 65mm depth. It serves as a standardised food holding and preparation vessel in commercial kitchens, hot holding cabinets, and refrigerated prep stations. The pan meets CE hygiene standards for direct food contact across UK, EU, USA, and Canadian commercial operations.
Commercial Application
GN1/3 pans fit into third-width slots of standard gastronorm racking systems. Operators use this depth for portioning ingredients, holding prepared components during service, or storing batch-prepped items under refrigeration. The 65mm depth handles portion sizes between shallow salad inserts and full-depth stock containers.
During service, the pan slots into bain-marie wells or refrigerated counters for mise en place access. Kitchen staff transfer the pan directly from prep fridge to hot holding without decanting. The standardised footprint allows interchangeable use across different equipment from multiple manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is the PH312 constructed from?
A: The pan uses food-grade stainless steel meeting CE standards for direct food contact. Specific grade (304 or 430) is marked on the product base. Both grades provide corrosion resistance and meet commercial kitchen hygiene requirements.
Q: What is the maximum safe load capacity for this pan depth?
A: The 65mm depth holds approximately 3.5 litres when filled to the rim. Safe working capacity is 2.8-3 litres to prevent spillage during transport. Load-bearing capacity when racked depends on the shelf system, not the pan itself.
Q: Can the PH312 be used in blast chillers and combination ovens?
A: Yes. The stainless steel construction withstands rapid temperature cycling from -40°C to +300°C. The pan fits standard GN1/3 slots in blast chillers, combi ovens, and regeneration cabinets without warping.
Q: Is the pan compatible with induction bain-marie units?
A: Compatibility depends on the steel grade. Stainless steel 430 (ferritic) works with induction. Stainless steel 304 (austenitic) does not. Check the base marking or contact TurcoBazaar for grade confirmation before ordering for induction use.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for hotel or multi-site operations?
A: Single units are available at the listed price. Volume orders of 50+ pans receive tiered pricing and consolidated freight. Contact TurcoBazaar with site requirements and delivery locations for a formal quotation.
