Why this gastronorm earns its place
The Matfer Bourgeat 1/2 GN gastronorm tray at 200mm depth represents the pinnacle of capacity within the standard 1/2 GN footprint, delivering a substantial 12-litre volume while maintaining the precise external dimensions of 265 × 325 × 200 mm that ensure compatibility with all standard gastronorm equipment. Crafted from premium stainless steel, this extra-deep tray is designed for high-volume operations where maximum capacity within a standardized footprint is essential.
At 1.35kg empty, this tray feels substantial and robust – a testament to its durable construction that can handle the demands of continuous professional use. The stainless steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance, hygiene properties, and thermal stability, withstanding everything from blast chilling and freezer storage to oven use and aggressive commercial washing cycles. The smooth, seamless interior prevents food traps and facilitates thorough cleaning, while the robust gauge resists warping and maintains dimensional integrity even under significant thermal cycling and physical stress.
This 200mm deep variant is the go-to solution for operations requiring maximum volume within standardized GN dimensions: central production kitchens preparing stock pots or large batches, catering operations needing to transport large volumes of prepared food, or industrial kitchens where standardization meets extreme volume requirements. Its freezer-safe capability extends utility to blast chilling and frozen storage applications, while the true GN dimensions guarantee compatibility with standard gastronorm racks, trolleys, and bain-marie units – eliminating compatibility issues that can disrupt workflow in fast-paced kitchen environments.
