The PH402 is a GN 1/4 stainless steel gastronorm pan with 40mm depth. It holds prepared ingredients, sauces, garnishes, or portioned components in commercial refrigeration units and service counters. Used across hotel kitchens, restaurant prep lines, and catering operations where standardised food storage is required.
Commercial Application
Gastronorm pans maintain uniform sizing across equipment from different manufacturers. The GN 1/4 format fits standard bain-marie wells, blast chillers, holding cabinets, and refrigerated prep tables. Operators stack multiple pans vertically or arrange them side-by-side within larger equipment footprints.
The 40mm depth suits mise en place components, pre-portioned sauces, diced vegetables, and garnish preparation. Kitchen staff transfer pans directly from refrigeration to service counters during shift changeover. Shallow depth allows visual inventory checks without disturbing contents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the PH402 pan?
A: Food-grade stainless steel meeting CE, NSF, and CSA commercial kitchen standards. Material specification resists corrosion from acidic ingredients and survives high-temperature dishwasher cycles. Grade selection prioritises hygiene compliance over decorative finish.
Q: What is the load capacity of a GN 1/4 pan at 40mm depth?
A: The 40mm depth provides approximately 1.7 litres of usable volume. Maximum load depends on ingredient density — wet ingredients like sauces weigh more than diced vegetables at equivalent volume. Structural integrity maintains up to 3kg of evenly distributed contents.
Q: Can GN 1/4 pans stack inside refrigeration units?
A: Yes, pans stack vertically when not filled to rim capacity. Stacking height depends on refrigeration unit internal clearance and number of shelf positions. Operators typically limit stacks to 4-5 pans to maintain air circulation and access during service.
Q: Are these pans compatible with blast chillers and holding cabinets?
A: Standard GN 1/4 dimensions fit equipment from all manufacturers adhering to gastronorm sizing. Confirm internal rail spacing matches 265mm × 162mm pan footprint. The 40mm depth allows rapid temperature penetration during blast chilling cycles.
Q: Can custom sizes or deeper versions be ordered?
A: TurcoBazaar stocks GN 1/4 pans in multiple depth options from 40mm to 150mm. Custom sizing requires minimum order quantities and extended lead times. Most operators standardise on catalog depths to maintain parts interchangeability across kitchen stations.
