Why this perforated gastronorm earns its place
The Vogue stainless steel perforated 1/2 Gastronorm tray is a genuine workhorse for professional kitchens that need reliable, versatile food handling. At 150mm deep with a 9-litre capacity, this half-size GN pan gives you ample space for batch cooking, storage, or display while the perforated base allows steam to circulate freely during cooking or draining.
What makes this tray genuinely useful is its versatility across the entire food workflow. You can use it for cooking 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 also help with draining excess liquids from blanched vegetables or washed salad leaves.
For catering professionals who value durability and food safety, this tray delivers on both counts. Made from 201 grade stainless steel, it resists warping and shattering even with daily heavy use in busy kitchens. The material is easy to clean and maintain hygienic standards, and being freezer and dishwasher safe means it fits seamlessly into your existing workflow without special handling requirements.
