Stainless Steel Gastronorm Trays: The Backbone of Every Professional Kitchen

[catering.baseoff]

In the fast-paced world of commercial kitchens, reliability is everything. That’s why chefs and caterers across the UK count on stainless steel gastronorm trays. Whether you’re cooking, prepping, or serving, these versatile trays are essential to maintaining an organised, hygienic, and efficient kitchen.

At Catering Base, we specialise in providing high-quality Chefset and Vogue stainless steel gastronorm trays — trusted names in professional kitchens. Our trays are built from premium 20-gauge stainless steel with reinforced edges, designed to resist warping, rust, and daily wear and tear. They’re made to last, even in the most demanding foodservice environments.

Why Stainless Steel Gastronorm Trays Are Essential
Stainless steel GN trays aren’t just storage solutions — they’re multi-functional kitchen tools. They move seamlessly from oven to fridge to buffet service, making them indispensable in restaurants, hotels, catering units, and takeaway kitchens.

Here’s how professionals use them:

Cooking & Roasting: Directly in combi ovens or convection ovens

Chilling & Storing: For prepped ingredients, sauces, or desserts

Serving & Display: In carveries, buffets, and salad bars

Steaming & Draining: Perforated trays allow for easy steaming and liquid drainage

Because of their durability and heat resistance, these trays outperform plastic or polycarbonate alternatives when it comes to cooking and heating applications.

Available in Standard GN Sizes & Depths
At Catering Base, our stainless steel trays come in all standard GN sizes, such as:

GN 1/1: Full-size for bulk cooking and storage

GN 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/9: Ideal for portioning, condiments, and smaller prep tasks

GN 2/3: Great for roasting or large marinated items

With depths ranging from 20mm to 200mm, there’s a tray for every kitchen requirement — from shallow serving options to deep containers for hearty dishes.
