GN1/2 Oval Catering Containers 100 mm Deep

Oval catering containers standardised to the GN1/2 size hold and transport hot or chilled food across a professional kitchen. Their shape leaves rounded corners that are easier to clean than square containers, and the curved sides let serving utensils reach every part of the contents without scraping. The 100 mm depth gives enough volume for layered dishes, sauces or bulk ingredients while keeping the container light enough to lift when full.

In use, the container slides into a compatible GN1/2 gastronorm slot on a worktop, bain-marie, chilled counter or transport rack. The same slot accepts other GN1/2 inserts—perforated baskets, cutting boards or lids—so the container becomes part of a modular system that organises prep, cooking, holding and service without transferring food between vessels. When the container is removed, the slot stays clean and ready for the next insert.

The operator loads the container with prepared food, covers it with a lid if required, and places it in the chosen slot. During service the container is lifted out by its rim or carried on a tray; the oval shape gives a secure grip even with wet or gloved hands. After use the container is emptied, washed and stored until the next service.

Construction is a single piece of food-safe material, pressed into the GN1/2 oval footprint and 100 mm deep. The 3.5 L volume is the usable capacity when the container is filled to the rim, allowing for safe transport without spillage.

Cleaning follows from the smooth, seamless construction: the container is washed in a commercial dishwasher or by hand, then air-dried or stacked for storage. The absence of corners or crevices reduces trapped food and speeds the turnaround between services.
