GN1/2 Hexagon Gastronorm Container 100 mm Deep

A gastronorm container in the GN1/2 hexagon footprint holds and transports ingredients, prepared dishes or chilled components across a professional kitchen. The standardised shape slots into refrigerated counters, heated bain-maries, worktop cut-outs and mobile trolleys without gaps, so food stays level and secure during every stage from prep to service.

The container is a rigid vessel that carries liquids, solids or semi-solids. It does not heat, cool or pressurise its contents; it simply holds them at the temperature the surrounding equipment provides. Because the walls are vertical and the base is flat, food can be stacked, portioned or transferred without spillage or deformation. The 100 mm depth gives enough volume for sauces, vegetables or plated components while keeping the centre of gravity low, so the container is stable on a worktop or shelf.

To use the container, the operator fills it to the required level, places it into a compatible gastronorm well or rack, and slides it into the appliance or trolley. When the food is ready, the container is lifted out and carried to the next station. The same container can move from a blast chiller to a hot cupboard to a pass-through counter without needing to decant the contents, saving time and reducing handling.

The container is made of food-grade material that withstands repeated thermal cycling and mechanical stress. It is compatible with standard gastronorm racks, shelves and trolleys found in professional kitchens.

The GN1/2 hexagon footprint matches the standardised cut-outs in worktops, counters and mobile units, ensuring a snug fit and preventing movement during transport. The 3.6 litre volume indicates the usable capacity for ingredients or prepared dishes, allowing kitchen staff to portion and plan without overfilling.

Cleaning involves washing the container with hot water and detergent after each use, then rinsing and drying it before storage. The material resists staining and odour retention, so the container remains hygienic for repeated use.

This model is a single variant in the BHS gastronorm range, sized for GN1/2 hexagon wells and 100 mm depth.
