Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Pantry, a bustling farm shop café in Norwich, was looking to refresh its salad and sandwich counter. Their old mix of containers looked tired and unprofessional, failing to do justice to their fresh, local produce.
"We swapped all our old dishes for these APS trays and the counter looks fantastic now. It's so much brighter and more cohesive. Customers have definitely noticed, and they are tough enough to handle our busiest lunch rushes without any fuss."
Robert Mills – Café Manager
The simple change helped to streamline their display, resulting in a 15% increase in 'grab and go' food sales in the first month.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- As a standard GN 2/3 gastronorm container, it slots directly into compatible serveries, chafing dishes, or display fridges.
- There's no assembly needed – it’s ready for service straight out of the box.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, rinse after use to stop strong-coloured foods (like beetroot or curry) from staining.
- It's fully dishwasher safe, which makes for a quick and hygienic clean-up.
- Avoid using serrated knives or harsh metal scourers on the surface to prevent scratching the finish.
- Stack carefully when dry to protect the glossy surface and save on precious shelf space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this tray suitable for hot food?
A: Melamine is designed for cold food presentation or holding food at ambient temperatures. It is not suitable for ovens, hobs, or direct heat sources like bains-marie.
Q: What does GN 2/3 actually mean?
A: It refers to a standard European size for kitchen containers, measuring 354mm x 325mm. This universal sizing allows containers from different brands to fit into standard racks, serveries, and fridges.
Q: Can I use this in the microwave?
A: No, melamine is not microwave-safe and should never be used in one.
Q: How resistant is it to scratches?
A: It's very durable for everyday service. However, sharp knives or abrasive scourers can scratch the surface, so we recommend using plastic or silicone utensils.
Q: Will the white finish stain easily?
A: The high-quality glossy finish is very stain-resistant. For best results, we'd advise rinsing off strong-coloured foods like tomato sauces or curries soon after service is over.
Q: Can I put this in the freezer for food prep?
A: Yes, melamine is perfectly safe for use in freezers, making this a great GN 2/3 food storage container for your prep station.
Q: Is the APS Asia DT772 tray food-safe?
A: Absolutely. It is made from 100% food-grade melamine, making it completely safe for commercial food contact.
Q: How heavy is the tray to carry?
A: It weighs just over 1.4kg, making it lightweight enough for staff to handle easily, even during a busy service.
The APS Stamp of Quality: Designed for Display
For decades, APS has been a go-to name in professional catering and buffetware across Europe. They understand that in food service, presentation is just as important as the food itself. This isn't just another plastic tray; it's a piece of equipment designed with the daily realities of a commercial environment in mind. The choice of high-grade melamine offers a long-term value that cheaper alternatives can't match—it resists chipping, fading, and breakages, reducing your replacement costs over time. By investing in APS products like this commercial white gastronorm pan, you're choosing consistency and reliability. You get a product that not only makes your food look its best but also stands up to the rigours of constant use, washing, and stacking, ensuring your display looks professional day in, day out.
Explore more from APSMore Than Just Plastic: The Melamine Advantage
Ever wondered what makes melamine different from your average plastic container? Think of it like the super-tough, grown-up cousin of regular plastic. While a standard plastic tub can feel a bit flimsy and scratch up easily, melamine is a thermoset plastic, meaning it's cured and hardened into a much more rigid and durable final form. It has the weighty, premium feel closer to ceramic, but without the terrifying risk of shattering if it's accidentally knocked or dropped during a hectic service. This makes it a far safer, and more cost-effective, choice for bustling cafes, canteens, and buffet lines where accidents can happen.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotel Buffets: Ideal for creating elegant, uniform displays for breakfast services, carveries, or fresh salad bars.
- Contract Caterers: This lightweight food serving tray GN 2/3 is perfect for transporting and setting up at events.
- Deli Counters & Cafés: A brilliant way to showcase fresh salads, sandwiches, and cakes in refrigerated display units.
- School & Workplace Canteens: A durable and easy-to-clean solution for serving large numbers of people every day.
