GN 1/4 - White Melamine Gastronorm Container - PADERNO

The GN 1/4 white melamine container, made for buffets on the move

Setting up a buffet, serving it, packing it away and starting again somewhere else the next day: caterers' and hotels' display containers work hard. The GN 1/4 white melamine container by PADERNO combines the precision of the gastronorm system, the lightness of a material that resists daily knocks and the elegance of tableware.

The gastronorm system, a common language for kitchen and buffet

The GN 1/4 size combines with the other gastronorm sizes: four containers fill a GN 1/1 frame. Combined with other sizes (1/3, 1/6…), it creates a flexible buffet, adapted to the number of guests and the variety of your menu. It fits buffet counters, display stands and refrigerated display cases in gastronorm size.

Two depths, two volumes

The 6.5 cm version (1.4 litres) suits generous yet clear displays: raw vegetables, charcuterie, cheese, cut fruit. The 10 cm version (1.9 litres) holds larger volumes: mixed salads, tabbouleh, breakfast cereals, crushed ice for seafood or drinks.

Melamine, a partner for events

Lighter than porcelain and impact resistant, melamine copes with handling, transport and the repeated set-ups of catering service. Its bright white brings out colours and suits every setting, from hotel breakfast to reception cocktail. It is stackable for compact storage and dishwasher safe.

Using melamine correctly

Melamine is suitable for serving hot and cold food, and for storage at room temperature or chilled for up to 24 hours, within a range of -20 °C to +70 °C. It must not be used on heated equipment (hot counters, heated display cases or cabinets), nor exposed to a direct flame, heat lamps or plate warmers, and it is not suitable for oven or microwave use. For a hot buffet in a chafing dish, choose our porcelain gastronorm containers.
