  • Pros: Excellent thermal properties mean it heats and  cools very evenly.
  • Cons: Like most metal pans, they can be tricky to separate when stacked warm.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a popular seafood takeaway in Whitby, was struggling with a cluttered and  inefficient prep area. They were using a mix of different-sized plastic containers, which made organising their fresh sauces and  garnishes a daily challenge during the hectic tourist season.

"We were wasting so much time hunting for the right ingredient. These Modena 1/9 GN pans have sorted our fridge out completely. Everything has its place, it looks professional, and  the team can grab what they need instantly."

Robert Davies – Head Fryer

The switch resulted in a much smoother workflow, reducing order prep time by an estimated 15% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check that the 1/9 GN dimensions are compatible with your existing counters, service wells, or storage racks.
  • Consider purchasing compatible lids at the same time to ensure you can stack and  store them effectively from day one.

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scourers, which can scratch the surface. A standard non-scratch pad is best.
  • To prevent pans from getting stuck together, ensure they are completely cool and  dry before stacking them.
  • For stubborn food deposits or discolouration, a soak in a solution of white vinegar and  water will usually do the trick.
  • Although dishwasher safe, handwashing can often prolong the pristine finish of stainless steel.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pans

Not sure which GN container is right for your setup? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Check Your Sizing

GN sizing is a universal standard. Double-check the size your equipment (fridges, bain-maries) takes. A 1/1 GN tray can hold two 1/2 pans or three 1/3 pans, so plan accordingly!

Depth Matters

Pans come in various depths (e.g., 65mm, 100mm, 150mm). Deeper pans are great for liquids like sauces or soups, while shallower ones are better for items like bacon or fried onions.

Material Choices

Stainless steel is the all-rounder – durable, easy to clean, and  safe for hot and  cold use. Polycarbonate (clear plastic) is great for seeing contents in cold storage, but can't be used in ovens.

Don't Forget Lids

Will you be storing food or transporting it? If so, you'll need lids. Check for standard flat lids, lids with notches for utensils, or tight-sealing lids depending on your needs.

Think About Perforations

Perforated (with holes) gastronorm pans are also available. They are fantastic for steaming vegetables or draining fat from cooked items directly on the service line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'GN 1/9' actually mean?

A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, a European standard for kitchenware sizes. A 1/9 size means it is one-ninth of the base 'GN 1/1' size (530 x 325mm). This standardisation ensures pans from different brands fit in standard equipment.

Q: Can I use this pan in the oven?

A: Absolutely. It's made from stainless steel, making it perfectly safe for use in commercial ovens for cooking and  reheating.

Q: Is it safe to put in the freezer or blast chiller?

A: Yes, the stainless steel construction handles extreme cold perfectly, making it ideal for prepping and  storing food in freezers or blast chillers.

Q: Will this pan stain or hold food smells?

A: No, one of the key benefits of stainless steel is that it's non-porous. It won't absorb odours or flavours from foods like curries or fish, and  it resists staining.

Q: Is the Modena 1/9 GN pan dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is perfectly safe to be cleaned in a commercial dishwasher for quick and  hygienic turnaround.

Q: Are there lids available for this container?

A: Yes, standard 1/9 GN sized lids, including options with utensil notches, are available and  will fit this pan perfectly.

Q: How much liquid can it hold?

A: This 150mm deep pan has a capacity of approximately 1 litre, making it ideal for sauces, dressings, and  other liquids.

Q: What's the best way to stop them sticking when stacked?

A: The best trick is to ensure the pans are completely cool and  dry before you stack them. A vacuum can form if they are stacked while still warm and  wet.

Modena: The Unsung Hero of the Professional Kitchen

When you're equipping a commercial kitchen, it's easy to get drawn to the big-ticket items. But brands like Modena focus on something just as crucial: absolute reliability in the essentials. This Modena 1/9 GN pan isn't about groundbreaking technology; it's about trust. It's about knowing that every single pan you buy will meet food safety standards, withstand the intense heat of the oven and  the shock of the blast chiller, and  stand up to the relentless pace of daily service without warping or failing. Investing in Modena equipment is a long-term operational decision. It means fewer replacements, consistent performance, and  one less thing to worry about when you're in the weeds. This is the value that goes beyond the spec sheet – the peace of mind that comes from using simple, robust tools designed exclusively for the professional environment.

What Does '20 Gauge' Steel Really Mean for Your Kitchen?

You often see 'gauge' mentioned with stainless steel, but what is it? Simply put, it’s a measure of thickness – and  a bit counter-intuitively, the lower the number, the thicker and  stronger the steel. This Modena pan is made from 20-gauge steel, which hits a sweet spot for commercial kitchenware. Think of it like this: a flimsy takeaway foil tray might be 30-gauge, while this pan is significantly more robust. It means it won't easily dent when dropped, bend when you're scooping out cold ingredients, or warp when it goes from a hot bain-marie to a cold counter. It's that built-in toughness that ensures it lasts through years of hard, daily service.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Cafés: Perfect for organising your sandwich bar fillings, toppings, and  prepped ingredients in a small space.
  • Delicatessens: An ideal way to display and  serve olives, antipasti, and  fresh salads hygienically on the counter.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: The compact, stackable design helps you maximise every bit of limited storage and  prep area.
  • Restaurants & Pubs: Essential for the 'mise en place' station, keeping herbs, sauces, and  garnishes organised for service.
