Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan Features:
High-Quality Stainless Steel
The Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan is made of 304 stainless steel, which contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Its surface is finely polished to a roughness of less than 0.8µm, creating a smooth feel and effectively reducing the adhesion of food debris.
Precise Standardized Dimensions
This product complies with international Gastronorm standards, with a basic size of 650mm x 530mm. A variety of heights are available to suit different applications (such as 20mm, 40mm, 65mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm). Compared to non-standard containers, this product improves space utilization by approximately 35%.
High-Temperature Resistance
304 stainless steel offers excellent high-temperature resistance, maintaining stable performance in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to 800°C. In real-world cooking scenarios, whether used in oven baking (up to 250°C), steam cooking (100°C-120°C), or frozen storage (-18°C), the container exhibits no deformation, discoloration, or degradation of material properties.
Precision Finish
The container's edges are polished with a 3mm radius, preventing cuts from sharp corners and enhancing safety. The bottom is flat and slightly sloped inward (approximately 1°), ensuring that liquid and food residue are efficiently collected in one corner, making cleaning and pouring easier.
Easy to Clean
The container's smooth stainless steel surface and seamless welding make it extremely easy to clean. Testing has shown that using standard kitchen cleaning procedures, cleaning time is only 3-5 minutes, approximately 60% higher than containers made of standard materials.
Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan Application:
Restaurant Kitchens
In restaurant kitchens, stainless steel gastronorm pans are essential tools for food preparation and storage. Chefs can prepare cut vegetables, meats, and other ingredients in 65mm-high containers and store them neatly stacked in the refrigerator. According to industry statistics, kitchens using these containers can increase food preparation efficiency by approximately 28% while also reducing food waste caused by improper storage.
Hotel Buffet Restaurants
In hotel buffet restaurants, taller stainless steel gastronorm pans (such as 100mm and 150mm high) are widely used in food display areas. They can hold large quantities of salads, baked snacks, or hot dishes and fit perfectly on standard buffet tables. The containers' high-temperature resistance ensures hot dishes remain at the perfect temperature, while their easy-to-clean surface facilitates quick restocking and maintenance during peak dining periods.
Food Processing Plants
In the food processing industry, stainless steel gastronorm pans are ideal for batch processing. For example, in the production of sauces, soups, or prepared dishes, large-capacity containers with a height of 200mm can hold up to 58 liters of ingredients, meeting the efficiency demands of industrial production.
Medical Laboratories
In medical laboratory environments, the corrosion resistance and easy-to-clean properties of stainless steel gastronorm pans make them ideal for sample storage. Smaller containers (such as 20mm and 40mm high) can be used to store biological samples or chemical reagents. Their precise capacity design and sealing performance ensure the safety and stability of samples during storage and transportation.
Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan Maintenance:
Daily Cleaning Procedures
Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pans should be cleaned immediately after use to prevent food residue from lingering. First, rinse the inside and outside of the container with warm running water to remove large stains. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub. Avoid using harsh cleaning tools to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface. After rinsing, wipe the container again with a clean, damp cloth and then dry it upside down or with a clean, dry cloth.
Regular Disinfection
To ensure food safety and hygiene, it is recommended to deep-disinfect the container once a week. This can be done by soaking the container in a food-grade disinfectant (such as chlorine disinfectant with a concentration of 200ppm) for 15-20 minutes, then rinsing thoroughly with clean water. Alternatively, high-temperature steam sterilization can be used by placing the container in a steam sterilizer at 100°C-120°C for 10-15 minutes.
Avoid Chemical Corrosion
During use, avoid contact with highly corrosive chemicals, such as highly concentrated acidic or alkaline solutions or certain industrial cleaners. If handling these chemicals is unavoidable, rinse the container with plenty of clean water immediately after handling and inspect the surface for any abnormal changes.
Proper Stacking and Storage
When storing, pay attention to the stacking method of the containers to avoid deformation caused by excessive pressure. Due to the standardized design of stainless steel gastronorm pans, they can generally be safely stacked up to six layers (the specific number of layers should be adjusted based on the height and actual load capacity of the containers). When stacking, ensure that the bottoms of the containers are flat and touching, avoiding tilting or localized stress. Store in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from areas prone to moisture or corrosive gases, to extend the life of the containers.
Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan FAQ:
1. Is the Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan suitable for freezing food?
The 304 stainless steel used in the Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan offers excellent low-temperature resistance and remains stable in freezing environments ranging from -20°C to 0°C without brittleness or deformation.
2. Can Gastronorm Pans of different heights be stacked?
Yes. In accordance with international gastronorm standards, all sizes of Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pans are designed to be stackable. This design significantly saves kitchen and storage space and improves operational efficiency.
3. Can the Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan be customized?
Yes. We offer a degree of customization, including laser engraving of your restaurant or company logo, adjusting the dimensions to accommodate specific equipment, and adding special features (such as rim holes or reinforcing ribs) upon request. For other requirements, please contact us.
4. Will using the Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan affect the flavor of the food?
304 stainless steel is highly chemically stable. Its finely polished surface resists reactions with acidic or alkaline ingredients and releases no metal ions into food. Professional testing has shown that even after prolonged storage of highly acidic ingredients (such as tomato sauce and lemon juice), the pH and flavor profile of the food remain unchanged.
5. Is the Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan compatible with automated cleaning equipment?
The Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan is designed to fully meet the cleaning standards of commercial dishwashers. Its high-temperature and corrosion-resistant properties can withstand the high-temperature, high-pressure water jets and harsh detergents used in dishwashers.
