Food storage GN container Stalgast PL32166151 polypropylene 1/6 size 150 mm depth

GN (Gastro-Norm) containers are standard-size kitchen pans used in professional kitchens for efficient storage, transport, cooking and service of food. Standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with commercial ovens, refrigerators and display units, allowing the same GN pan to fit into a wide range of professional equipment.

Advantages

GN containers follow international standards to guarantee compatibility with professional kitchen equipment. They are multifunctional — suitable for cooking, cold and hot storage, transport and presentation — and their standardized sizes enable efficient use of space in refrigerators, shelves and display cabinets. Made from materials such as stainless steel or polypropylene, GN pans are easy to clean and meet high food-hygiene requirements. Options with and without lids increase flexibility: open pans are convenient for thermal processing and buffet presentation, while lidded pans protect food during storage and transport.

Key specifications

• Standard: Gastro-Norm (GN) dimensions compatible with professional kitchen equipment
• Materials: stainless steel or polypropylene (material depends on the specific product model)
• Uses: cooking (convection/steam ovens), cold storage (refrigerators, freezers), transport (in insulated containers), serving (buffets, displays, banquets)
• Lid options: available with or without lids
• Silikone-sealed lids: provide airtight closure, reduce temperature loss and prevent liquid leakage

How to use

Choose the GN size and material appropriate for the intended use (stainless steel for high-temperature cooking, polypropylene for some storage and cold applications). For cooking, use open GN pans in convection or steam ovens according to equipment guidelines. For transport and storage, use lidded pans or add a silicone-sealed lid to maintain temperature and prevent spills. Clean pans and removable seals according to manufacturer instructions to preserve hygiene and longevity.

Recommendations

Use stainless-steel GN pans for frequent high-temperature cooking. Apply silicone-sealed lids when transporting liquids or when longer temperature retention and airtight protection are required. Remove and wash silicone seals regularly to maintain hygiene and functional life.
