Why this perforated gastronorm earns its place
The Vogue stainless steel perforated 1/1 Gastronorm tray is a true workhorse for high-volume professional kitchens that demand serious capacity and versatility. At 200mm deep with a substantial 28-litre capacity, this full-size GN pan delivers serious volume for batch cooking, bulk storage, or high-volume service while the perforated base ensures excellent steam circulation and drainage.
What makes this tray genuinely indispensable in a busy kitchen is its remarkable versatility across the entire food workflow. You can use it for cooking large batches in convection ovens or combi steamers, then transfer it straight to a blast chiller for rapid cooling, store it safely in the freezer, and finally move it to a bain-marie for service — all without transferring food to another container. The perforations aren't just for steam cooking; they're equally valuable for draining pasta, blanching vegetables, or separating solids from liquids during food preparation.
Despite its impressive 28-litre capacity, this tray remains remarkably manageable thanks to the inherent rigidity of the 201 stainless steel construction. The material resists warping and shattering, ensuring it maintains its shape and functionality even after repeated temperature shocks and heavy use in demanding commercial environments. The smooth, non-porous interior prevents food from sticking and makes cleaning straightforward — especially valuable given its dishwasher-safe construction.
