Tray WAS GN 1/2 Black Melamine DE1236705112 — gastronorm 1/2 size

WAS GN 1/2 black melamine tray is a gastronorm 1/2 size serving and storage tray made of durable melamine. It offers a rigid, heat-resistant surface suited for presenting, storing and transporting food in professional kitchens and catering environments. The tray is designed to fit standard gastronorm 1/2 compartments and worktops, and its black finish provides a neutral, discreet background for plated items, buffet layouts and chilled displays. The material is resistant to cracking and warping under normal use and supports efficient stacking to save storage space.

Advantages

The melamine construction delivers a hard, scratch-resistant surface that withstands frequent handling in high-traffic kitchen and service areas. Heat resistance allows safe use with warm items within typical serving temperatures, while the rigid form preserves presentation quality during transport. The tray is lightweight compared with metal alternatives, simplifying handling by staff, and the black finish conceals minor surface marks for longer presentable service life. Its dimensions comply with gastronorm 1/2 sizing for compatibility with GN containers, cabinets and display systems.

How to use

Place the tray on a stable work surface or in a compatible gastronorm compartment. Use it to assemble plates, present buffet items, transport prepared dishes or hold covered GN pans within chilled displays. Avoid placing open flames or direct contact with hot cookware that exceeds normal serving temperatures. After use, clean the tray with warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry thoroughly before stacking to prevent surface abrasion. Inspect regularly for deep scratches or damage that could affect food safety.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the tray within standard serving temperature ranges and avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above those typical for plated service. Stack trays when dry and store in a cool, ventilated area to maintain material integrity. Use non-abrasive cleaning tools to preserve surface finish and extend service life.
