Gastronorm 2/3 Pans
Gastronorm 2/3 pans measure 354x325mm, an oversized fraction that gives more capacity than a 1/1 pan without needing the full 2/1 size — useful for hotels and banqueting kitchens running large-batch sauces, stews or vegetable dishes during high-turnover service. This size sits between standard and jumbo GN fractions, so it’s worth confirming your equipment has a compatible bay before ordering. Stainless steel is the more common material at this larger size for durability.
Key specifications
The Gastronorm 2/3 is an oversized fraction with a fixed 354 × 325mm footprint, giving more capacity than a 1/1 without stepping up to a full 2/1. Depths follow the standard 20/40/65/100/150/200mm range, and mid-range 100-150mm depths suit the bulk sauces, stews and vegetable dishes this size is usually bought for. Stainless steel is the more common material at this larger size, chosen for rigidity under load, though polycarbonate versions exist for cold work. Because 2/3 sits between standard and jumbo GN sizes, equipment compatibility is the key check — confirm your bain marie or cabinet has a 2/3 bay before specifying it. Matching 2/3 lids seal pans for holding and transport, and reinforced rims aid durability. Used across hotels, banqueting kitchens and high-volume caterers.
Gastronorm 2/3 Pans — FAQs
Is a 2/3 pan a standard stock item?
It’s less common than 1/1 or 1/2 and tends to be bought for specific bulk-service needs rather than everyday use, so check current availability before specifying it for a new kitchen fit-out.
What depths suit 2/3 pans best?
Mid-range depths of 100-150mm are typical for bulk sauces and stews, though the full 20-200mm range is generally available depending on supplier.
