Inoxtrend Stainless Steel GN1/1 Basket for Professional Kitchens

A stainless steel basket designed to hold food during preparation, cooking or storage in gastronorm-compatible equipment. The open mesh construction allows liquids to drain while keeping solid items contained, making it suitable for blanching, frying, steaming or chilling processes where separation from water or oil is needed.

The basket rests on rails or ledges inside gastronorm-compatible containers, ovens, fryers or chillers. Its standardised GN1/1 footprint matches the most common professional kitchen containers, ensuring it fits securely without shifting during use. The low 40 mm height keeps the basket close to the base of the container, maximising usable space while still allowing airflow or drainage beneath.

To use, the operator places the basket inside the gastronorm container, loads food into the basket, and then processes the container as required. Once the process is complete, the basket lifts out easily, allowing the contents to be transferred or served without handling each item individually. The open design also speeds cooling or drying after washing.

Constructed from stainless steel, the basket resists corrosion, heat and repeated washing. The material does not react with food acids or oils, ensuring no flavour transfer or discolouration. The mesh pattern is formed from a single sheet, with no welds or joins that could trap debris or weaken over time.

The basket's dimensions—530 mm long, 325 mm wide and 40 mm high—define its compatibility with GN1/1 gastronorm equipment. This footprint is widely used in professional kitchens, allowing the basket to be moved between different appliances without adjustment. The 40 mm height is shallow enough to fit inside standard gastronorm containers while still providing enough depth to hold a layer of food securely.

Cleaning is straightforward: the open mesh allows water and detergent to flow through, removing residue quickly. The stainless steel surface can be scrubbed or run through a dishwasher without risk of damage. After washing, the basket dries rapidly due to its open construction, reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

This basket is a GN1/1 size variant, matching the most common gastronorm container dimensions used in professional catering.
