  • Pro: The 20-gauge steel is noticeably sturdier than cheaper alternatives, resisting dents well.
  • Con: Like most GN pans, the lids are sold separately, which is an added cost.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a popular pizzeria in Bristol, was struggling to keep their extensive range of pizza toppings organised and  accessible during the frantic evening rush. They switched from a jumble of plastic containers to a set of these Modena 1/9 GN pans.

"The pans slotted straight into our refrigerated prep counter, making everything look tidy and  professional. Our pizza station is so much more efficient now; we can see all the ingredients at a glance and  grab what we need instantly."

Michael Edwards – Head Chef

The result was a clear win: The pizzeria was able to increase its order output during peak hours by nearly 20% due to the improved workflow.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, always give the pan a thorough wash with hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check that your counter, oven, or chafing dish is designed for GN 1/9 containers to ensure a perfect fit.
  • If using for hot service, you can pre-heat the pan to help maintain food temperature for longer.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean promptly after use to prevent food from drying on. It's fully dishwasher safe.
  • Avoid using steel wool or highly abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • To prevent pans from jamming when stacked, ensure they are completely dry and  alternate their direction slightly.
  • Periodically check for any serious dents or warping, which could affect how it fits in equipment.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN pan fits your needs best? Here's a quick rundown to help you decide.

1. Get the Size Right

Check your equipment. GN sizing is universal, so a GN 1/2 pan will take up half the space of a GN 1/1. This 1/9 size is great for smaller items.

2. Consider the Depth

A deep pan (150-200mm) is for liquids like soup, while a shallow pan (20-65mm) like this one is better for items like grilled veg, bacon, or toppings.

3. Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for its durability, hygiene, and  versatility. It's safe for ovens, freezers, and  service.

4. Perforated or Solid?

This is a solid pan, perfect for holding liquids and  general use. Perforated pans have holes and  are used for steaming or draining fat.

5. Don't Forget Lids

If you're using pans for storage or transport, you'll need lids. They are usually sold separately, so check you have the right size.

What Exactly is Gastronorm Sizing and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered what 'GN 1/9' actually means? Think of it like professional kitchen Lego. The entire system is based on a master 'GN 1/1' size (530 x 325mm), which is like the big green baseplate. This gastronorm 1/9 pan 65mm deep is one of the smaller, standard-sized bricks – exactly nine of them will fit perfectly into a single GN 1/1 space. This universal standard is brilliant because it means that pans, ovens, trolleys, fridges, and  servery counters from completely different manufacturers are all designed to work together seamlessly. It’s the secret to a well-organised, efficient, and  interchangeable professional kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotels and  Buffet Restaurants: Perfect for organising condiments, sauces, or small hot items on a buffet line or in the kitchen.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: The compact size and  stackability are ideal for maximising space and  streamlining prep and  service.
  • Cafés and  Sandwich Bars: Excellent for holding individual salad bar ingredients, toppings, and  fillings, keeping them fresh and  neatly separated.
  • Dessert & Ice Cream Parlours: A great choice for storing and  serving a wide array of toppings, sprinkles, and  sauces.
