Why this perforated gastronorm earns its place
The Vogue stainless steel perforated 1/1 Gastronorm tray strikes an excellent balance between generous capacity and manageable handling for busy professional kitchens. At 150mm deep with a solid 20-litre capacity, this full-size GN pan provides ample volume for most batch cooking and storage needs while remaining easy to maneuver when full — a combination that makes it one of the most versatile workhorses in the commercial kitchen.
What truly sets this tray apart is its seamless workflow integration. Thanks to its perforated base and rugged 201 stainless steel construction, you can use it for everything from blanching vegetables in a combi steamer to blast chilling cooked batches for safe storage, then move it to a bain-marie for service — all without touching the food or transferring it to another container. The perforations excel at steam circulation for even cooking and efficient draining when you need to separate liquids from solids, such as when preparing pasta, blanching vegetables, or making stocks.
Despite its 20-litre capacity, this tray remains pleasingly lightweight and easy to handle, especially when compared to deeper alternatives. The 201 stainless steel construction provides impressive durability, resisting warping and maintaining its shape through countless temperature cycles — from oven heat to freezer cold. Combined with its dishwasher-safe design, this makes it a low-maintenance, high-reliability tool that earns its place in your kitchen day after day.
