The 8212 is a GN2/1 stainless steel gastronorm pan with 65mm depth, measuring 530 x 650 x 65mm. It holds prepared ingredients, marinades, or portioned dishes in commercial kitchens, hotel prep areas, and catering production lines. Operators use it for bulk storage in refrigerated units or holding stations during service.
Commercial Application
GN2/1 pans fit into modular racking systems, blast chillers, and heated holding cabinets. The 65mm depth accommodates larger volumes than standard shallow pans, reducing the number of containers needed for batch prep or buffet service.
Kitchens use this size during multi-batch cooking operations or banquet prep where ingredients must be pre-portioned and stored. The depth-to-surface ratio allows for marinating proteins or holding pre-cooked components without stacking multiple shallow pans.
