100 mm — the most common depth for cooking and storage.
150–200 mm+ — high-volume storage, steaming and deep cooking.

These depth options allow chefs to customise capacity without altering equipment layout.

Stainless steel is the material of choice for full-size GN pans because it offers unmatched durability and performance in demanding environments:

High heat tolerance — suitable for ovens, steamers and hot holding.
Strong structural integrity — resists warping and denting during heavy use.
Non-reactive surface — safe for all ingredients and sauces.
Fast, even heat conduction — ideal for baking, roasting and steaming.
Long service life — cost-effective for high-volume venues.

Solid vs Perforated 1/1 GN Pans

Choosing the right type depends on how the pan will be used:

Solid pans — best for liquids, sauces, cooked food and general use.
Perforated pans — ideal for steaming, draining, rinsing or thawing foods.

Choose stainless steel grade for durability (304 preferred for corrosion resistance).
Select solid or perforated depending on cooking style.
Consider reinforced rims for long-term strength.
Add lids if required for storage, transport or hygiene control.
