Stainless Steel Food Pan 1/6 GN × 10 cm

Perfect For

This food pan is ideal for professional kitchens, cafés, catering operations and serious home cooks in New Zealand who need a compact yet robust food-holding container. It’s especially useful for buffet service, chilled or hot food displays, ingredient prep, and storage of small-batch servings.
With its smaller footprint (1/6 GN size) and 10 cm depth, it’s perfect when space is at a premium — whether that’s fridge shelf space, under-bench storage, or fitting into modular buffet and bain-marie systems in event-settings around Aotearoa.

Description

The Stainless Steel Food Pan 1/6 GN × 10 cm is made of high-grade stainless steel and corresponds to the Gastronorm “1/6” size (approx. 176 × 162 mm footprint) with a depth of approximately 10 cm.
It features standard catering-grade design: rounded corners for easier cleaning, folded or reinforced edges for durability, and a stackable form factor to optimise storage. As one manufacturer notes, a 1/6 GN container with 10 cm depth holds about 1.6 L and measures ~17.6 × 16.2 cm. 
In a New Zealand context, this pan works seamlessly with buffet trolleys, chilled display units, gastronorm racks, and is ideal for food prep, sauce holding, sides, smaller servings or storage of pre-prepared meals.

Key Points

• Standard GN Footprint: Approx. 176 × 162 mm (1/6 GN size) ensures compatibility with catering racks and equipment.
• Depth: 10 cm (100 mm) gives a useful volume while remaining shallow enough for ingredient or side dish storage rather than deep full-size cooking.
• Material: Made of stainless steel (typically food-safe grade such as 18/10 or similar) – for hygiene, durability and suitability for hot & cold use.
  
• Design features: Rounded corners and stacked-friendly edges ― which makes cleaning simpler and storage efficient. 
• Versatility: Suitable for hot or cold service, steam-table or refrigerated display, storage, preparation and transport.
  

Benefits

• Durable & Long-Lasting: The stainless steel build means the pan can withstand heavy use in catering or high-volume food-prep settings, making it a cost-effective choice for NZ kitchens.
  
• Space-Efficient: The 1/6 size allows multiple pans to fit in standard gastronorm racks, fridges or buffet trolleys, helping optimise space in smaller kitchens or service areas.
  
• Professional Standard: Being GN-compliant means it integrates easily with other standard equipment (lids, racks, trolleys) used in New Zealand’s food service industry. 
• Flexible Usage: Whether you’re storing pre-prepared dishes, holding sauces, serving chilled salads, or operating a buffet line, this pan handles multiple roles.
  
• Hygiene & Maintenance: Stainless steel is easy to clean, resists odours and stains, and meets high food-service hygiene standards — beneficial for commercial and home kitchens alike.
