Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare needed to streamline its high-volume fish and  chip shop and  event catering operations. Their collection of mismatched, older food pans was causing delays and  storage issues during the frantic summer season.

"We switched all our main service pans to these Modena GN21-65s. The standardisation is brilliant. They stack neatly, they fit every single appliance we own from the fryers to the hot holds, and  they just make service flow so much better. No more searching for a pan that fits!"

Michael Davies – Head of Catering

The switch to a single, standardised pan system reduced their prep-to-service time by an estimated 20% during peak periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Rinse well and  dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  • Check that the pan fits correctly in your equipment; the standardised size should ensure a perfect fit.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after every use to maintain food safety and  hygiene standards. It's fully dishwasher safe.
  • For stubborn, baked-on food, soak the pan in hot, soapy water before scrubbing with a non-abrasive pad.
  • Avoid using steel wool or harsh scrapers, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • Stack pans using the anti-jam lugs to allow for air circulation and  prevent them getting stuck.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect gastronorm pan.

Check Your Sizing

Measure your appliances! Ensure the GN size (e.g., 2/1, 1/1, 1/2) matches your ovens, fridges, and  service counters for a perfect fit.

Consider the Depth

Shallow pans (20-40mm) are great for grilling or presenting small items. Deeper pans (65mm+) like this one are ideal for roasts, sauces, and  holding bulk food.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the all-rounder – durable, easy to clean, and  safe for ovens and  freezers. It’s the go-to for most kitchen tasks.

Lids and  Accessories

Do you need lids for storage and  transport? Check for matching GN-sized lids, including options with notches for serving spoons.

The Anti-Jam Feature

If you stack pans, look for 'anti-jam' corners or lugs. This small feature saves a huge amount of frustration during busy periods.

The Magic of Gastronorm: Why GN Sizing Simplifies Your Kitchen

Ever wondered what 'GN 2/1' actually means? Think of it like Lego for professional kitchens. The Gastronorm (GN) system is a European standard for container sizes, ensuring that a pan from one brand will fit perfectly into an oven, fridge, or bain-marie from another. A 'GN 1/1' is the base size (530x325mm), and  this 'GN 2/1' pan is simply double that length (650x530mm). This standardisation is the secret to an efficient kitchen workflow, allowing you to seamlessly move food from prep stations to cooking appliances and  finally to the service counter without ever needing to transfer it to a different container. It saves time, reduces washing up, and  makes organising your space a doddle.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotel Buffets: Perfect for holding large batches of scrambled eggs, bacon, or pasta dishes on the hot service line.
  • Event Caterers: Ideal for prepping, transporting, and  serving food for weddings, corporate events, and  large functions.
  • School & Hospital Canteens: A durable choice for daily cooking and  serving of main courses, vegetables, and  desserts.
  • Carveries & Delis: Excellent for displaying and  serving roasted meats, salads, and  prepared side dishes in a refrigerated counter.
