Gastronorm containers (GN) – professional standard for preparation, storage and serving
Gastronorm containers (GN) are a basic element in any professional kitchen. They follow the international Gastronorm standard, which defines the exact dimensions and their compatibility with all professional appliances – refrigerated display cases, convection ovens, heat lines, water baths, regenerators, cabinets and workstations. This makes them a universal solution for preparing, storing, cooking and serving food in restaurants, hotels, catering companies, pastry shops and all HORECA establishments.
"According to EU-631, the term Gastronorm or the abbreviation "GN" refers to the standardized format for containers used in commercial kitchens or buffets for the preparation, processing, preservation and storage, cleaning and transportation of all types of food."
These containers can be made in a total of 9 different sizes, and their construction can vary depending on their purpose; among them you can find stainless steel, polycarbonate, polypropylene, melamine and even porcelain.
In this category you will find a full range of GN containers in different sizes (GN 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/9), depths and materials, so you can choose the most suitable one.
