Stainless steel Gastronorm Pan GN1/4 Depth 100mm | PH404

Q: What steel grade is the PH404 manufactured from?

A: Food-grade stainless steel meeting CE, NSF and CSA standards for direct food contact. The alloy resists corrosion from acidic ingredients and commercial detergents. Material thickness is 0.6mm, typical for GN1/4 pans in professional kitchens.

Q: What is the load-bearing capacity when stacked?

A: Each pan supports up to 8kg when filled and stacked three units high. Load capacity depends on shelf strength in refrigeration or racking systems. Avoid stacking beyond four units when holding liquid ingredients above 60°C.

Q: Does the pan fit adjustable gastronorm shelving?

A: Yes. GN1/4 dimensions are standardised at 265×162mm across European and North American equipment. The pan fits adjustable wire shelving, solid shelves in prep tables, and slotted rails in refrigerated units.

Q: Are matching lids available for this depth?

A: Standard GN1/4 lids fit the 265×162mm opening. Specify 100mm depth when ordering lids to ensure proper sealing. TurcoBazaar supplies solid, slotted and notched lids for this pan size.

Q: Can this pan withstand blast chilling from 90°C to 3°C?

A: Yes. Stainless steel construction handles rapid temperature changes in blast chillers without warping. Avoid thermal shock by not transferring pans directly from ovens above 200°C into chillers. Allow brief ambient cooling before blast chilling.
