GN1/1 Oval Stainless Steel Container 65 mm Deep

Oval stainless steel containers hold prepared ingredients, sauces or finished dishes on standardised gastronorm worktops and in refrigerated or heated cupboards. The shape spreads the contents over a larger surface than a square container of the same volume, so heat or chill reaches the centre faster and more evenly. This keeps food at the correct temperature while it waits for service or moves between stations in a busy kitchen.

The container slides into a GN1/1 slot on a worktop, shelf or trolley. A 65 mm depth gives enough room for portioned starters, sauces or small batches of vegetables without taking the space of a deeper pan. The operator fills it from the prep area, covers it with a lid if the entry does not name one, and transfers it to the holding station or service counter. When empty, the container is removed, washed and returned to the rack.

The body is made of stainless steel, which resists corrosion, does not absorb odours and withstands repeated washing at high temperatures. The rim is rolled for strength and to protect the edges from dents. No moving parts or electrical components are present, so upkeep is limited to routine washing with detergent and a non-abrasive cloth or brush. The container fits any equipment that accepts GN1/1 gastronorm containers, including bain-maries, refrigerated counters, heated shelves and storage trolleys.

A 4.6 litre volume holds enough for a service period without overloading the worktop or making the container too heavy to lift when full. The GN1/1 footprint matches the standardised slots on professional catering equipment, so the container can be swapped between stations without adjustment or reorganisation of the kitchen layout.

This container is listed in the catalogue under gastronorm containers and accessories for professional kitchens.
