The Thunder Group SLPA8132 is a solid GN 1/3 stainless steel gastronorm pan, 65mm deep. It fits the standard gastronorm system used across professional catering equipment — from bain-maries and hot cupboards to refrigerated prep units and chilled counters — making it a practical everyday workpiece in most commercial kitchen setups.

In busy kitchen environments, gastronorm pans take a significant amount of daily handling: hot-holding through service, rapid chilling, transit between sections, and repeated washing. Stainless steel construction holds up well to this kind of routine use, resisting warping and maintaining a hygienic surface that cleans reliably between services.

The 65mm depth makes this pan a useful middle-ground size — deep enough to hold a practical volume of food during service, but not so deep that it becomes unwieldy in a standard bain-marie or prep rail. Common uses include:

  • Holding sauces, garnishes, or side dishes during service
  • Portioning and storing prepped ingredients in a refrigerated unit
  • Transporting mise en place between prep and pass
  • Chilled storage within a GN-compatible refrigerator or blast chiller

Being a standard GN 1/3 format, this pan will integrate with virtually any gastronorm-compatible equipment already in use. It is a solid choice for kitchens looking to build out or replace their pan inventory without compatibility concerns. For operations running very high volumes or requiring lids, it is worth considering whether additional depths or matching lid options would better suit the workflow.

If you are stocking up across multiple GN sizes or want to make sure you have the right mix of depths for your setup, the team is happy to talk through what works best for your service style.

Frequently asked questions

Will this pan fit my existing bain-marie or prep counter?

Provided your equipment follows the standard gastronorm sizing system, a GN 1/3 pan will fit any compatible 1/3 slot. Most commercial bain-maries, hot cupboards, refrigerated prep units, and chilled counters are built to GN standards, but it is worth confirming your equipment is GN-compatible if you are unsure.

Is the 65mm depth suitable for hot-holding sauces and wet ingredients?

The 65mm depth is a practical general-purpose size for hot-holding liquids, sauces, and wet ingredients during service. It holds a reasonable volume without being so deep that food sits too far below the bain-marie waterline, which can affect even heat distribution. For very high-volume services, a deeper pan may suit better.

Can this pan be used for both hot and cold applications?

Yes — stainless steel gastronorm pans are routinely used across both hot and chilled applications in commercial kitchens, from bain-maries and hot counters through to refrigerated prep rails and blast chillers. Moving a pan directly from a very high-temperature environment to ice-cold water in rapid succession is best avoided to preserve the pan's condition over time.
