Matfer Bourgeat Stainless Steel 1/2 Gastronorm Pan 200mm Deep

This is a standard half-size gastronorm pan in 18/10 stainless steel, manufactured by Matfer Bourgeat to the 1/2 GN format. At 200mm deep with a 12-litre capacity, it sits at the deeper end of the half-size range, making it well suited to bulk storage, braising, and sauce holding rather than shallow display or serving applications.

In a busy kitchen environment, pans at this depth earn their keep during prep and service alike. The 12-litre capacity means fewer refills during a long service, and the stainless steel construction handles the thermal cycling of hot-holding cabinets, blast chillers, and bain-maries without issue. Matfer Bourgeat manufacture to consistent tolerances, so these pans sit squarely in compatible equipment without rocking or gaps that compromise heat transfer.

• Full 1/2 GN footprint fits standard gastronorm frames, bain-maries, and storage racks
• 200mm depth provides generous capacity for sauces, stocks, and bulk ingredients
• Stainless steel construction is hygienic, non-reactive, and straightforward to clean
• Compatible with hot-holding, chilling, and oven use within standard temperature limits
• Consistent manufacturing tolerances ensure reliable fit across gastronorm equipment

There are no installation requirements for gastronorm pans, but it is worth confirming that your existing frames, bain-maries, or countertop units are rated for 1/2 GN inserts at 200mm depth — some shallower units will not accommodate the full depth of this pan. If you are building out a new storage or service setup, it is also worth considering whether a mix of depths across your pan inventory would serve your menu better than a single size throughout.

This pan is a practical choice for most commercial kitchens — from hotel banqueting and contract catering through to smaller restaurant and café operations. If your volumes are particularly high or you need a full-size 1/1 GN format, deeper or shallower alternatives are available within the range.

If you are unsure which combination of pan sizes and depths best suits your setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
