  • Con: Not recommended for holding highly acidic foods for long periods.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Potted Lobster, a bustling seafood bistro in Abersoch, Gwynedd, needed trays that could give their breaded calamari and  fish goujons an even, golden crisp without relying on deep frying.

"These Lincat trays are absolutely spot on. The heat transfer is fantastic, so everything comes out of the combi oven perfectly crisp. We're using far less oil, which our customers appreciate and  our costs reflect."

David Hughes – Head Chef

The bistro successfully reduced cooking times for key dishes by nearly 15% during peak service, improving kitchen flow.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, give the tray a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth.
  • For best results on certain foods, season the tray with a light coating of cooking oil before use.
  • The tray is a standard 1/1 GN size, designed to slide directly into compatible oven racks and  trolleys.

Keeping It Going

  • Always hand wash this tray. Harsh dishwasher detergents can damage the special surface over time.
  • Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads to prevent scratching the finish.
  • Do not use it to store highly acidic foods like tomato sauces or citrus fruits for extended periods.
  • Stack carefully with pan protectors if possible to maintain the surface integrity for years to come.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Tray

Not sure which tray is right for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Aluminium, like in this tray, is brilliant for baking and  roasting due to its fast heat transfer. A stainless steel 1/1 GN tray 40mm is better for wet dishes, acidic foods, and  general storage.

Depth & Capacity

This 40mm depth is a versatile all-rounder. For cooking casseroles, holding sauces, or braising, look for deeper pans (65mm+).

Perforated vs. Solid

Solid trays like this Lincat Imperial gastronorm tray 1/1 are essential for most tasks. Perforated versions are specifically for steaming or draining fat.

Surface & Coating

The surface on this tray is designed for excellent food release, which aids healthier cooking. Consider if your tasks require a specific non-stick coating.

Oven Compatibility

Always make sure your tray's material is suitable for your oven's maximum temperature and  specific cooking functions, like grilling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does '1/1 Gastronorm' mean?

A: It's a standard European size (530mm x 325mm) used for professional kitchen equipment. This ensures that trays, ovens, trolleys, and  fridges from different brands are all compatible.

Q: Can I use this Lincat Invoq 1/1 gastronorm tray 40mm on a hob?

A: No, this tray is made from aluminium alloy and  is specifically designed for use in combi ovens, convection ovens, and  holding cabinets.

Q: Is this tray non-stick?

A: It has excellent food release properties thanks to its special surface, particularly when lightly oiled, which helps reduce sticking without a traditional non-stick coating.

Q: Why is the tray black?

A: The dark colour is part of the material's surface treatment, which helps it to absorb and  radiate heat more efficiently for superior cooking and  browning results.

Q: Can I stack these trays?

A: Yes, they are designed with a slight taper to allow for neat stacking, which helps save valuable storage space in your kitchen.

Q: What is the main advantage of this over a stainless steel 1/1 GN tray 40mm?

A: The key advantage is heat conductivity. Aluminium heats up much faster and  more evenly, making it far better for roasting, baking, and  achieving a perfect, crisp finish.

Q: Can I use metal utensils on it?

A: We strongly recommend using silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to avoid scratching the surface and  prolong its life.

Q: What does the '40mm' in the name refer to?

A: This is the depth of the pan in millimetres. 40mm is a versatile depth suitable for a wide range of common roasting and  baking tasks.

More Than Metal: Why Aluminium Alloy Delivers a Better Cook

Ever wondered why some trays give you a soggy bottom while others produce a perfect crunch? It often comes down to the material. This Lincat Invoq GN tray 40mm uses a special aluminium alloy. Think of it like the difference between a cheap frying pan and  a chef's favourite skillet. Aluminium is a superb conductor of heat – much better than standard stainless steel. It gets hot fast and, crucially, spreads that heat evenly across the entire surface. This means no 'hot spots' or cool corners, just consistent, reliable cooking that crisps up breaded fish or roasts potatoes to perfection, all while using less fat.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants: Perfect for roasting mains or batch-cooking sides in your Lincat combi oven, ensuring consistent results.
  • School & University Canteens: Ideal for healthier cooking of breaded items like fish fingers or chicken portions for large numbers.
  • Hotel Kitchens: A reliable workhorse for breakfast buffets, event catering, and  room service operations.
  • Contract Caterers: Lightweight yet durable, making it great for transporting and  serving delicious food on-site.
