A Gastronorm container (often called a GN pan) is a standardized container used worldwide in the foodservice, catering, hotel, and restaurant industries. It follows the EN 631 standard, which defines the sizes and dimensions to ensure compatibility with kitchen equipment such as ovens, steamers, chafing dishes, refrigerators, and trolleys.

Key Features of Gastronorm Containers:

• Standardized Sizes: The base size is GN 1/1 (530 × 325 mm), and all other sizes are fractions or multiples of this standard (e.g., GN 1/2, GN 1/3, GN 2/1, etc.).

• Depth Options: Usually available in different depths (20mm, 40mm, 65mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm).

• Materials: Commonly made of stainless steel, but also available in polycarbonate and polypropylene for cold storage or serving.

• Usage:

  • Cooking (in ovens, steamers, combi-ovens)

  • Storing food (in refrigerators, freezers)

  • Transporting food (with lids, insulated boxes)

  • Serving food (buffet and catering setups)

Benefits:

• Universally compatible with professional kitchen equipment.

• Durable, hygienic, and easy to clean.

• Helps in portioning, stacking, and organizing food.

• Saves time and improves efficiency in food handling and service.
