Matfer Bourgeat Stainless Steel Perforated 1/2 GN Tray 100mm

This is a half-size perforated gastronorm tray in 18/10 stainless steel from Matfer Bourgeat, a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchen smallwares. The perforations allow liquid, steam, or cooking juices to drain freely through the base and sides, making it a practical workhorse across a wide range of kitchen tasks.

In a working kitchen, a tray like this gets used constantly — draining blanched vegetables, holding proteins above liquid in a bain-marie, steaming in a combi oven, or separating wet ingredients during prep. The 100mm depth gives reasonable capacity without making the tray unwieldy to handle during service, and the stainless steel construction holds up to the repeated thermal cycling and daily warewashing that commercial trays are routinely subjected to.

• Drains liquid freely during steaming, blanching, and rinsing tasks
• Fits standard half-size gastronorm equipment including combi ovens and hot holds
• Stainless steel construction tolerates repeated high-temperature use and commercial dishwasher cycles
• Useful for separating ingredients during prep and service without additional equipment
• Pairs with a solid GN tray beneath to catch draining liquid cleanly

There are no particular installation requirements for a tray of this type, but it is worth confirming that your existing gastronorm equipment accepts 100mm-depth inserts if you are replacing existing stock — not all units accommodate every depth. This tray is designed for use with standard half-size GN slots.

This tray suits most commercial kitchens as a general-purpose perforated insert — from small café prep areas to larger production kitchens. Sites needing very high-volume or heavier-gauge alternatives will find other options in the range worth considering. If you are standardising across a kitchen fit-out or buying in bulk, the team is happy to talk through which depth and perforation pattern best fits the work you are doing.
