This perforated gastronorm pan measures 325mm × 265mm × 20mm and holds GN1/2 standard dimensions. It drains liquids during washing, steaming, or blanching operations in commercial kitchens. Kitchen staff use it for vegetable prep, poached item handling, and pasta straining under high-volume service conditions.
Commercial Application
The perforated base allows immediate liquid drainage during food washing and post-cook cooling. Operators place it over solid pans or sinks to separate liquid from product. This prevents soaking and maintains texture in steamed vegetables, blanched items, and rinsed ingredients.
During service prep, staff stack multiple units in prep fridges or bain-maries. The 20mm shallow depth suits garnish portions, washed salad components, and drained pasta held at temperature. Perforations maintain airflow and prevent condensation buildup during chilled storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this pan manufactured from 304 or 430 grade stainless steel?
A: The pan uses food-grade stainless steel meeting CE and NSF food contact standards. Specific grade designation is confirmed on request with compliance certificates. Both 304 and 430 grades are suitable for commercial gastronorm applications under standard kitchen conditions.
Q: What load capacity does the 20mm depth support when filled?
A: The shallow 20mm depth limits load to approximately 1.5-2 kg of product depending on density. This depth suits garnishes, washed vegetables, and drained pasta rather than bulk liquid or heavy bulk items. Structural integrity maintains under stacking when pans contain similar shallow loads.
Q: Can this perforated pan be used inside bain-marie units?
A: Yes, the GN1/2 standard fits all compatible bain-marie openings. Use it over a solid pan to keep drained items warm while preventing water absorption. The perforations allow steam circulation for gentle heat maintenance during service.
Q: Does the perforation pattern affect dishwasher cleaning effectiveness?
A: The uniform hole pattern allows full detergent and rinse water penetration during machine cycles. Food particles flush through perforations rather than adhering to a solid base. Standard commercial dishwasher cycles at 80°C+ achieve full sanitisation.
Q: Are matching solid pans and lids available for stacking systems?
A: TurcoBazaar stocks corresponding GN1/2 solid pans and sealing lids in multiple depths. Perforated and solid pans stack together in prep fridges and transport trolleys. Contact for matched sets to build complete gastronorm storage and prep configurations.
