The tough stainless steel construction means it can go from freezer to oven without a fuss, making it incredibly versatile.

With its generous 1.13-litre capacity and  practical 40mm depth, it's ideal for everything from chopped vegetables to dressings and  garnishes.

Expert Review and  Insights

You can tell a lot about a kitchen by the state of its gastronorm pans, and  the Vogue range has always been a solid choice. They aren't flashy, but they’re built to endure the daily grind of a busy service. This GM313 is a prime example: tough, reliable, and  perfectly standardised. It’s the sort of equipment that quietly makes your whole operation run a bit more smoothly.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Properly Robust: The 20-gauge steel is a real plus, resisting warping from heat and  daily knocks.
  • Lid is Extra: Just remember to order the corresponding lid if you need it for airtight storage.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a popular seafood takeaway in Penzance, Cornwall, needed to streamline their prep station to cope with the summer tourist rush. Their old mix-and-match containers were inefficient and  causing delays.

"Switching to these standardised Vogue pans completely reorganised our workflow. Everything has its place, it's faster to find what you need, and  restocking during a rush is so much simpler. It's cut down on so much stress."

Robert Finch – Owner

The result was a significant improvement in service speed, with staff reporting they could assemble orders around 20% faster during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give your new pans a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • If you need lids for stacking or storage, check you have the correct compatible Vogue lids.
  • Plan your counter or fridge layout to make the most of the modular GN system for maximum efficiency.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after each use with a soft cloth or sponge; avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh steel wool which can scratch the surface.
  • For stubborn food residue, soak in warm, soapy water rather than scraping with metal utensils.
  • Although they are tough, try to stack them carefully to avoid unnecessary dents and  dings over time.
  • They are dishwasher safe, making cleanup at the end of a long shift quick and  easy.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN pan is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide on the perfect fit for your needs.

Match the Size to the Job

Check the GN size of your equipment first. This gastronorm 1/4 pan 40mm is perfect for smaller quantities, but you might need 1/2 for side dishes or 1/1 for bulk items.

Consider the Depth

Depth is key. A shallow 20mm or 40mm pan is great for garnishes and  quick-grab items. Deeper 100mm or 150mm pans are better for soups, sauces, or beans.

Pick Your Material

Stainless steel is the ultimate all-rounder for prep, hot, and  cold use. For cold display only, clear polycarbonate pans let customers see the fresh food inside.

Lids Are Not All Alike

Do you need a solid, sealed lid for transport and  storage? Or a notched lid that allows a serving spoon to remain in the pan? Plan ahead for how you'll use them.

Perforated or Solid?

A solid pan like this one is for holding liquids and  most foods. Perforated pans are specialists, designed for steaming vegetables or draining fat from cooked meats.

What Does 'Gastronorm Sizing' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered why kitchen equipment seems to fit together so well? That's thanks to Gastronorm (GN) sizing, a European standard that ensures containers, ovens, fridges, and  trolleys all speak the same language. It removes the guesswork and  guarantees that a pan from one brand will fit into a servery from another.

Think of it like LEGO for professional kitchens. The full 1/1 GN pan (530 x 325mm) is the big, rectangular base piece. This stainless steel 1/4 GN container is a smaller, quarter-sized 'brick'. This means you can fit exactly four of these pans perfectly into the space of one large 1/1 pan, or two into a 1/2 GN space. This modular system lets you customise your layout, maximise every inch of space, and  create a super-efficient setup that's tailored to your menu.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Cafés: Perfect for holding pre-cut sandwich fillings, salad items, or cake toppings in your display fridge.
  • Busy Restaurants: An absolute essential for organising 'mise en place', keeping ingredients fresh and  ready for a hectic service.
  • Delis & Farm Shops: Ideal for displaying olives, fresh pesto, and  other delicatessen items neatly in a refrigerated counter.
  • Mobile Caterers: A durable, stackable solution for transporting and  serving prepped food at events and  festivals across the UK.
