This is a full-size GN 1/1 perforated gastronorm pan in stainless steel, 40mm deep. The perforated base allows liquid, steam, or cooking juices to drain through freely, making it a standard choice for steaming, blanching, and draining tasks in professional kitchens. It sits within the universal gastronorm system and fits the same frames, countertop units, and bain maries that accept standard GN 1/1 pans.

In practice, perforated pans at this depth are commonly used during prep and service for tasks where drainage or steam penetration matters — holding blanched vegetables over a bain marie, steaming protein in a combi oven, or draining pasta and other wet-cooked items at speed. The shallow 40mm profile keeps portions accessible and easy to serve from without digging into a deep pan.

The stainless steel construction handles the demands of a busy kitchen without issue — it goes from oven to chiller, tolerates regular commercial dishwasher cycles, and resists the warping and staining that affects lower-grade alternatives. Being a standard GN format, it stacks neatly and integrates with lids, frames, and other GN pans already in use.

  • Drains liquid cleanly during steaming and blanching
  • Compatible with combi ovens, bain maries, and GN frames
  • Shallow profile suits high-turnover service and easy portioning
  • Straightforward to clean and suitable for commercial dishwashers

This pan suits kitchens of most sizes. If your operation runs high volumes of steamed or drained items simultaneously, it is worth considering how many pans you need in rotation — a single pan rarely covers a full service on its own. Deeper perforated options are available for larger batch work.

If you are building out your GN pan stock and want to make sure you have the right mix of perforated, solid, and lidded options for your workflow, feel free to get in touch — it is the sort of thing that is quicker to work through with someone who knows the range.

Frequently asked questions

What tasks is a 40mm perforated GN 1/1 pan best suited to?

The 40mm depth works well for steaming, blanching, and draining tasks where you need liquid or steam to pass through the base freely. It is commonly used in combi ovens for steamed proteins and vegetables, or positioned over a solid pan to drain pasta and wet-cooked items during service. The shallow profile also makes it practical for holding and portioning from during a busy pass.

Will this pan fit my existing bain marie or gastronorm frame?

Provided your bain marie or frame accepts standard GN 1/1 sizing, this pan should drop straight in. The GN system is an international standard, so compatibility across different brands of equipment is generally reliable. If you are unsure about your specific unit, it is worth checking the internal dimensions of the well against the GN 1/1 footprint before ordering.

How many perforated pans should I stock for a typical service?

That depends on your menu and throughput. A single perforated pan is rarely enough on its own for a full service — most kitchens running steamed or drained menu items will want at least two or three in rotation to allow for washing mid-service. If you are running a high-volume operation or a menu with several steamed dishes, it is worth talking through your workflow with us to make sure you have enough pans to avoid bottlenecks.
