  • Con: The edges can feel a little sharp straight from the box.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Coastal Deli' in Newquay were struggling with a chaotic salad bar, using a mix of mismatched plastic containers. They upgraded their entire setup with Modena stainless steel GN pans to create a uniform, professional look and  a more efficient workflow.

"Switching to these Modena pans was a brilliant move. Everything is tidy, fits perfectly in the counter, and  our prep is so much faster. They just look clean and  professional, which our customers have noticed too."

Mark Wallace – Owner

The change resulted in a 20% faster restocking time for their salad bar during the busy tourist season, allowing staff to focus more on customers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, give the pan a thorough wash with hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Its standard sizing means it should slot directly into any compatible GN 1/9 aperture in prep counters, serveries, or storage units.
  • The anti-jam stacking design allows you to store multiple pans neatly without them getting stuck together.

Keeping It Going

  • This pan is fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast and  effective sanitation.
  • To avoid scratches and  maintain the finish, use non-abrasive cloths and  cleaning agents.
  • For stubborn food residue like baked-on sauces, soak in warm water before washing.
  • Ensure pans are completely dry before stacking to prevent water spots and  maintain hygiene.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN container is right for your kitchen? Here's a quick guide to help you decide.

Understand the Sizing

GN sizes are fractions of a 'full' 1/1 pan (530x325mm). A 1/9 pan, like this one, is one-ninth of that size. Mix and  match sizes to fill your counter space perfectly.

Pick the Right Depth

Pans come in depths from 20mm to 200mm. A 100mm deep gastronorm pan stainless steel model is great for holding liquids and  generous portions, while shallower pans are for smaller items.

Choose Your Material

Stainless steel is the king of durability and  heat resistance. Polycarbonate is lighter and  lets you see the contents, but isn't suitable for ovens.

Do You Need a Lid?

Lids are usually sold separately. Consider if you need a plain lid for stacking, a notched one for utensils, or a sealed one for transport.

Gauge the Gauge

The gauge number indicates steel thickness – a lower number means thicker, more robust steel. For heavy use, a 20 or 22 gauge pan is ideal.

Beyond the Shine: Why 20 Gauge Stainless Steel Matters

You often see 'stainless steel' listed, but the '20 Gauge' detail is what separates a professional pan from a flimsy pretender. In the world of metal, a lower gauge number means thicker, stronger steel. So, a 20-gauge pan is significantly more robust than a 22 or 24-gauge one. Think of it like this: a disposable aluminium tray is like paper, while this 20-gauge pan is like thick, high-quality card. It's built to resist dings from utensils, won't easily bend if dropped, and  most importantly, it won't warp when you take it from a cold fridge to a hot oven. This structural integrity means it lasts far longer, saving you money on replacements.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for organising your mise en place station with sauces, herbs, and  prepped vegetables for swift service.
  • Cafés & Sandwich Bars: Ideal for holding fresh fillings and  salad items in refrigerated display counters, keeping them neat and  accessible.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: The compact and  stackable design is a must-have for maximising organisation in limited vehicle space.
  • Delicatessens & Farm Shops: Excellent for professionally displaying olives, antipasti, and  other deli items for customers in a hygienic way.
