GN2/3 container holds 325x354mm footprint at 100mm depth. Fits standard gastronorm racking in commercial kitchens, prep stations, and chilled storage systems. Used for bulk ingredient storage, batch cooking, and portioned food holding during service.
Commercial Application
Operators use this pan size for medium-volume ingredient prep and cooked food holding. Slots into combi ovens, blast chillers, bain-maries, and refrigerated prep tables. Standardised footprint allows interchangeable use across multiple stations.
During service, staff move pans between hot-holding units and plating stations without transferring contents. 100mm depth accommodates rice, stews, sauces, marinated proteins, and prepped vegetables. Pan stacks with same-size units for vertical storage efficiency.
Key Operational Advantages
- GN2/3 footprint: 325mm x 354mm, compatible with all standard gastronorm equipment
- 100mm depth holds approximately 5.7 litres working volume
- 304-grade stainless steel resists corrosion from acidic foods and cleaning agents
- Rolled rim prevents warping under thermal stress in ovens and chillers
- CE-compliant construction meets UK, EU, USA NSF, and Canada CSA food-contact standards
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint in walk-in coolers and dry stores

Construction & Build Quality
Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel with rolled top edge. Material maintains structural integrity across temperature range from -20°C blast chilling to 250°C oven use. Non-porous surface prevents bacterial colonisation between wash cycles.
- 304 stainless steel: 18/10 chromium-nickel alloy for corrosion resistance
- Rolled rim reinforcement maintains flatness under repeated thermal cycling
- Electropolished finish eliminates surface pores for hygiene compliance
Suitable Operations
- Commercial kitchens
- Hotel prep areas
- Restaurant kitchens
- Catering production facilities
- Food processing operations

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this pan 304 or 430 grade stainless steel?
A: This unit uses 304-grade stainless steel (18/10 chromium-nickel alloy). 304 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to 430 grade, particularly with acidic foods and chlorinated wash chemicals.
Q: What load capacity can this pan handle when filled?
A: At 100mm depth, working volume is approximately 5.7 litres. Filled with dense product (stews, rice), total weight reaches 6-7 kg. Pan structure supports this load across standard gastronorm rack spacing without deflection.
Q: Will this pan fit adjustable shelving in walk-in coolers?
A: GN2/3 footprint (325x354mm) fits shelving designed for standard gastronorm spacing. Verify shelf depth exceeds 360mm to allow clearance. Most commercial refrigeration shelving accommodates full-size and fractional GN pans.
Q: Can this pan withstand direct oven heat and blast chiller use?
A: 304 stainless steel maintains structural integrity from -20°C blast chilling to 250°C convection oven temperatures. Rolled rim prevents warping during thermal cycling between hot and cold environments.
Q: Are custom depths available for specific holding requirements?
A: Standard GN2/3 pans are manufactured in 65mm, 100mm, and 150mm depths. Custom depth fabrication requires minimum order quantities. Contact technical team with specific operational requirements for feasibility assessment.
