Why this bakery accessorie earns its place
This Matfer Bourgeat grid is purpose-built for professional kitchens that work with standard gastronorm containers. The small feet elevate whatever you're storing—whether fresh pasta, delicate pastries, herbs, or prepared items—off the container base, allowing air to circulate freely underneath. That separation is everything: it prevents condensation from pooling against your food, keeps products fresher for longer, and helps you avoid the soggy-bottom problem that kills quality fast.
Made from food-grade stainless steel, it's engineered for the commercial environment. It's light enough to handle daily, robust enough to withstand regular washing and the temperature swings of a working kitchen. At just 0.886 kg, it's easy to position or swap out, and it integrates seamlessly with the GN1/1 container ecosystem—the standard that runs through most professional prep and cold-storage setups.
For bakeries, delis, and larger prep kitchens, these grids are workhorses. Stack your cooling cakes or pastries on the grid, and you'll get even air exposure, faster cooling, and better hygiene than resting directly on the container floor. They're also genuinely useful in the walk-in for keeping fresh ingredients elevated and separated.
