This is a standard half-size gastronorm container in 100mm depth, made from polypropylene. It fits the 1/2 GN format used across the vast majority of commercial refrigeration, bain-maries, and gastronorm storage systems, making it a straightforward addition to an existing kit.

Polypropylene containers of this type are a practical everyday choice for cold storage, prepped ingredient holding, and mise en place. The material handles the knocks and stacking pressures of a busy kitchen service without cracking, and the smooth interior cleans down quickly at the end of service. The rated temperature range covers typical refrigeration and freezer storage through to ambient food preparation use.

  • Fits standard 1/2 GN refrigeration and storage systems
  • Smooth internal surfaces clean down quickly after service
  • Lightweight enough for frequent handling during prep
  • Suitable for cold storage, prepped ingredients, and dry goods
  • Stackable with other GN containers to make efficient use of shelf space

One consideration worth noting: polypropylene containers are not suitable for oven use or prolonged hot-holding above their rated temperature. For hot-holding applications, stainless steel gastronorm pans are the more appropriate choice.

This size works well in smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, school catering — where half-size storage solutions make better use of limited fridge or cold room space. Larger sites running high-volume cold storage may find full 1/1 GN containers or deeper 150mm or 200mm variants more practical for bulk ingredient storage.

If you are putting together a larger order of gastronorm storage or are unsure which depths and sizes best suit your operation, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is this container suitable for use in a bain-marie or hot-holding unit?

No — polypropylene is not rated for hot-holding or oven use. This container is intended for cold storage, refrigeration, and ambient food preparation. For hot-holding applications, stainless steel gastronorm pans are the correct choice.

Will this pan fit our existing gastronorm refrigeration and storage frames?

Yes, provided your equipment follows the standard GN sizing system. The 1/2 GN format is compatible with the vast majority of commercial refrigerators, cold prep counters, and GN storage frames. If you are unsure whether your equipment uses standard GN dimensions, it is worth checking before ordering.

We need storage for bulk ingredients — is the 100mm depth sufficient?

For prepped ingredients, portioned items, and everyday mise en place, a 100mm depth is generally adequate. For bulk storage of larger quantities, a deeper 150mm or 200mm GN container — or a full 1/1 GN size — may serve you better. The right choice depends on your typical batch sizes and available shelf space.
