How many food pans are needed for a professional kitchen? This is an important question to ensure an organized workflow in your establishment. Understanding the needs of your business is essential to answer this question. After all, culinary excellence depends not only on good ingredients and talented chefs, but also on equipment for your business.
Tramontina Hospitality offers a full line for this that combines tradition and quality. Our food pans, which follow the GN measurement standard, are versatile and can be used in your professional kitchen on a daily basis for various types of preparation, assembly, defrosting food, washing fruit and vegetables and even in ovens to bake and finish recipes before they are served at the buffet. Check out the details:
Food Pan (GN) 2/1
This is the largest well, ideal for standing out on buffets. It can store large volumes of food thanks to its depth, which ranges from 100 mm and 150 mm.
Food Pan (GN) 1/1
It is the second largest in size and the most widely used in large professional kitchens, as its height of 65 mm offers excellent use with cooking equipment. Also available in this size are the perforated models, ideal for steam cooking.
Food Pan (GN) 1/2
This size of well is ideal for presenting sides and also for storing previously prepared ingredients.
Food Pan (GN) 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/9
These fractions are perfect for individual portions, sauces, condiments or ingredients in smaller quantities, making mise en place easier at your professional kitchen workstations.
Although the size of food wells varies, their unique characteristics remain constant. Tramontina Hospitality’s high-quality stainless steel guarantees durability and a surface that does not retain residues, ensuring food safety and resistance to both hot and cold temperatures. The rounded internal corners prevent the accumulation of food debris, making cleaning easier. In addition, the wells adapt to more limited spaces, with lower side walls that allow them to be easily stacked in cabinets and storerooms.
