Oven Trays

This stainless steel cooling rack from Vogue is sized to match a full 1/1 gastronorm footprint, making it a practical fit alongside standard GN trays, baking sheets, and oven pans already in use across most commercial kitchens. It serves a straightforward purpose — providing an elevated, ventilated surface that allows hot pans and baked goods to cool evenly without sitting on a solid worktop.

In a working kitchen, having reliable cooling rack capacity matters more than it might seem. Blocking a worktop with a hot tray slows prep flow, and setting pans directly on a flat surface traps heat underneath and can continue the cooking process unintentionally. A dedicated rack keeps things moving and supports consistent results during busy service periods.

The stainless steel construction is appropriate for a commercial environment — it tolerates the heat, moisture, and regular washing that come with daily kitchen use, and it will not warp or rust under normal conditions. The 330 x 530mm footprint also means it can double as an oven grid where a ventilated base is useful for hot air circulation during cooking.

• GN 1/1 sizing integrates neatly with existing tray and pan inventory
• Raised design allows even airflow beneath hot trays or goods
• Stainless steel construction handles regular commercial washing and heat exposure
• Useful both as a cooling rack and as an oven grid
• Lightweight enough to stack and store without taking up significant space

This rack suits most commercial kitchens as a general-purpose addition to the smallwares kit. For sites with particularly high throughput or where a heavier-gauge product might hold up better to continuous heavy use, it is worth discussing alternatives with us before ordering.

If you are unsure how many you need or how they fit into your existing setup, we are happy to help you work it out.

This Vogue cooling rack is a straightforward, workhorse piece of smallware built to GN 1/1 footprint dimensions, making it a practical fit alongside standard gastronorm trays and sheet pans used across most commercial kitchens. Constructed from stainless steel, it functions both as a cooling rack for baked goods fresh from the oven and as an oven grid when a raised, ventilated surface is needed during cooking.

In a busy bakery, café kitchen, or pastry section, having a reliable cooling rack that sits consistently flat and holds its shape under repeated thermal cycling matters more than it might seem. Warped or flimsy racks cause uneven airflow beneath product, which extends cooling times and can affect finish quality during a tight service window. The stainless steel construction here resists the warping associated with lighter alternatives and tolerates the temperature changes common in active kitchen environments.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Dual-purpose use as both a cooling rack and an oven grid
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and dishwasher safe
• GN 1/1-compatible footprint integrates with standard trolleys and shelving
• Resists corrosion in humid kitchen conditions
• Lightweight enough for easy single-handed handling during busy service

There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of equipment. It suits operations producing moderate volumes of baked goods where a reliable, easy-clean rack is needed day-to-day. For higher-volume sites running continuous baking output, it is worth considering heavier-gauge alternatives that may offer greater long-term durability under sustained use.

If you are unsure whether this size and specification suits your workflow, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Prestige Inspire oven tray is a heavy gauge carbon steel baking tray with a CushionSmart non-stick surface. It is designed for general oven use across a range of cooking and baking tasks, offering a practical, mid-weight option for kitchens that need reliable everyday trays without the cost of professional-grade gastronorm bakeware.

Carbon steel distributes heat more evenly than lighter pressed steel, which helps reduce hot spots and promotes consistent browning across the full surface. The non-stick coating assists with food release and makes cleaning more straightforward, which matters when trays are turned around quickly during a busy service. At just under a kilogram, it sits in a practical weight range — substantial enough to hold its shape in the oven, but not so heavy as to slow down handling.

• Even heat distribution reduces localised burning or undercooking
• Non-stick surface supports quicker release and faster turnaround between uses
• Straightforward to clean by hand, reducing downtime between services
• Manageable weight aids handling speed during busy periods

This tray is best suited to lower-volume catering operations, café kitchens, small hotel breakfast services, or as supplementary bakeware alongside a larger tray inventory. It is not intended to replace heavy-duty professional bakeware in high-throughput production environments, where a thicker gauge commercial tray would typically be the more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether this tray is the right fit for your volume or oven type, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This is a straightforward steel oven tray from Wham's Baker & Salt range, finished with a vitreous enamel coating in black. The enamel surface is bonded directly to the steel, providing a degree of protection against rust and surface damage from day-to-day oven use. It is oven safe to 260°C and is also induction compatible, which gives it a reasonable degree of versatility across different cooking setups.

For light to moderate catering use — staff canteens, small cafés, pub kitchens, or as a supplementary tray alongside heavier bakeware — it performs reliably for roasting, baking, and general oven work. The enamel finish releases food reasonably well and wipes down without much effort, which is useful when trays are turning around quickly during service.

• Vitreous enamel coating resists rust and surface wear during regular use
• Ergonomic handles allow safe removal from a hot oven without excessive grip
• Induction compatible, suitable for use across a range of hob types
• Enamel surface is straightforward to clean after service

It is worth being realistic about this tray's place in a professional kitchen. At 895g with a steel construction, it is suited to lighter duties rather than heavy daily production environments where a heavier-gauge or professional bakeware range would be more appropriate. It is best treated as a reliable utility tray rather than a workhorse item.

Well suited to smaller catering operations, training kitchens, or anywhere a general-purpose oven tray is needed without the cost of heavy commercial bakeware. If you are equipping a higher-volume kitchen or need trays that will withstand intensive daily use, a more robust option from elsewhere in our bakeware range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this tray fits the demands of your kitchen, we are happy to point you in the right direction.

The Clover Japanese Chef Tray is a compact stainless steel prep and service tray made in Japan from 18/8 grade stainless steel. At 140x200mm it sits at the smaller end of the chef tray range, making it a practical choice for mise en place, portioning, ingredient staging, or tableside service presentation.

In a working kitchen environment, this tray earns its place through sheer versatility. Its compact footprint suits tight prep benches and pass-through counters where space is at a premium. The 18/8 stainless steel construction resists rust and staining under regular commercial use, and at 150g it handles easily during fast-paced service without adding fatigue.

• Compact size suits ingredient staging and portioned prep work
• 18/8 stainless steel resists rust and staining in daily commercial use
• Lightweight enough for repeated handling during busy service periods
• Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between services
• Clean, unbranded finish works equally well front-of-house and back-of-house

There are no electrical or installation requirements to consider. The tray works on any flat surface and goes straight into a commercial dishwasher, which keeps turnaround time short when you need the same tray back in service quickly. Its low profile and simple rectangular form also make it easy to stack and store when not in use.

This tray is well suited to professional kitchens looking for a reliable, no-fuss stainless prep or service piece with a proven track record. It is a particularly sensible choice where multiple trays are needed across a brigade. Larger sizes are available within the Clover range if you need a greater surface area for plating or display work.

If you're unsure which size or quantity is right for your operation, we're happy to talk it through.
