This Thunder Group perforated gastronorm pan is a GN 1/2 format, 100mm deep, constructed in stainless steel. The perforated base allows liquid to drain freely, making it a practical choice for steaming, blanching, and draining cooked or prepared foods in a standard gastronorm system.

In a working kitchen, perforated pans like this one earn their place during high-volume prep and service. They sit directly over solid pans to drain pasta, vegetables, or proteins without the need for separate colanders, keeping the pass moving efficiently. The stainless steel construction holds up well to daily use across busy prep shifts — resisting warping and standing up to both the heat of a bain-marie or steamer and the rigours of a commercial dishwasher.

Practical benefits for kitchen teams include:

  • Drains freely during steaming or blanching, reducing handling steps
  • Fits standard GN 1/2 gastronorm equipment and storage systems
  • Stainless steel construction is hygienic and straightforward to clean
  • 100mm depth provides useful capacity for prep and service portions
  • Compatible with solid pans of the same format for combined drain-and-hold use

As with any gastronorm pan, it is worth confirming compatibility with your existing equipment — particularly steamer baskets and bain-marie wells — before ordering in quantity. The 100mm depth suits most general prep and service applications; where a shallower or deeper format would better match your workflow, alternatives are available across the range.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and any site that runs a standard gastronorm system and needs reliable, workhorse smallwares without unnecessary complexity.

If you are fitting out a new kitchen or standardising your gastronorm inventory and would like a steer on sizes and combinations, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

What is a perforated gastronorm pan typically used for in a commercial kitchen?

Perforated pans are most commonly used for steaming, blanching, and draining — the holes allow liquid to pass through freely while retaining the food. They are often used in combination with a solid pan of the same size underneath, which collects the liquid and allows you to hold or transport food without additional equipment.

Will this pan fit my existing steamer or bain-marie?

This pan follows the standard GN 1/2 footprint, which is widely used across commercial steamers, bain-maries, and cold well inserts. That said, it is always worth checking your equipment manufacturer's specifications, particularly for steamers, as some models have shelf configurations or basket fittings that may not accept all pan depths.

Is the 100mm depth the right choice, or should I consider a different size?

A 100mm deep GN 1/2 pan is a practical all-round depth for most prep and service tasks, offering reasonable capacity without being unwieldy. If you need to maximise yield per pan or are working with bulkier products, a deeper format may suit better; for shallow presentation or portion control on a cold display, a 65mm or 40mm pan is often more appropriate. We can advise on combinations if you are unsure.
