Gastronorm pan Stalgast PL32113060 1/3 size, stainless steel, 65 mm deep

GN (Gastro-Norm) pans are standard-size containers used in professional kitchens to ensure efficient storage, transport, cooking and serving of food. Standardization allows any GN pan to fit into compatible equipment such as ovens, refrigerators and display units. GN pans are used across catering operations: for cooking in convection or steam ovens, for storing ingredients and prepared meals in refrigerators and freezers, for transporting food in insulated boxes while maintaining temperature, and for serving in buffets and displays.

Advantages

GN pans follow international standards, ensuring compatibility with professional kitchen equipment. They offer versatile functionality for cooking, storage, transport and presentation while optimizing space use due to standardized dimensions. Made from stainless steel or polypropylene, these pans are easy to clean and meet food-hygiene requirements. Options with or without lids allow use in thermal processing or open buffet service, and lids with silicone seals provide improved protection and temperature retention.

Key specifications

• Standard: GN (Gastro‑Norm) compatible dimensions
• Materials: stainless steel or food‑grade polypropylene
• Lid options: without lid, with lid, with silicone‑sealed lid
• Silikone seal benefits: airtight closure, reduced leakage, improved thermal retention
• Use cases: cooking (convection/steam ovens), cold storage, transport, buffet/display

How to use

Choose the appropriate GN size and material for the intended use: stainless steel for high‑temperature cooking and durability, polypropylene for cold storage and lightweight handling. Use uncovered pans for direct thermal processes like baking or heating; use lidded pans for storage, transport and presentation to protect contents and slow heat loss. Remove the silicone seal for cleaning and reassemble after both parts are dry. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for oven and freezer compatibility.

Recommendations

For hygienic handling and long service life, clean pans and removable silicone seals after each use according to supplier instructions, avoid abrasive cleaners on seals, and store lids and pans dry. Select silicone‑sealed lids when transport or long-term storage is required to reduce leakage and preserve temperature and aroma.
