GN 1/2 - Perforated Stainless Steel Gastronorm Container - PADERNO

GN 1/2 Perforated Stainless Steel Gastronorm Container, for Draining and Steaming

The perforated container is a quiet helper for cooking and mise en place: blanched vegetables, pasta, steamed fish, food to thaw. This PADERNO GN 1/2 stainless steel container lets water and steam through, and can be used on its own or with a solid container.

On Its Own or with a Solid Container

On its own, it goes into the steam oven or steamer for even cooking. Placed inside a deeper solid container of the same size, it makes a draining set: liquid collects at the bottom and your food stays dry, in the cold room or on the service line.

Good to Know

In 2 and 4 cm, only the bottom is perforated: these shallow containers are especially suited to steaming vegetables and fish, and to plating. From 6.5 cm, both the bottom and the sides are perforated for faster draining.

A Standard GN Size

The Gastronorm standard (EN 631) sets container sizes from one base unit, the GN 1/1 at 53 x 32.5 cm. All other sizes come from it: two GN 1/2, three GN 1/3 or six GN 1/6 take up exactly the space of one GN 1/1. You can freely arrange the opening of your bain-marie or buffet, and your containers move from one piece of equipment to another without transferring food.
