Kapp PP GN Pan Container 1/1

A Kapp polypropylene GN 1/1 pan measuring 53 x 32.5 cm, the full-size gastronorm footprint, available in 6.5, 15 and 20 cm depths. Full-size pans are the unit everything else divides from, and the 20 cm depth is the deepest in the Kapp range — enough for stocks, brines and bulk holding.

Who it suits

For walk-ins, transport racks and bulk holding where one ingredient fills the whole footprint. The 65 mm depth suits trays of prepped product; 200 mm is for liquids and bulk. Be realistic about weight: a full 200 mm GN 1/1 of liquid is a two-handed lift and will cool slowly through the centre, so it is the wrong vessel for anything needing rapid chilling.

Common questions

What does the GN size mean?
Gastronorm is the international standard for kitchen container sizes. GN 1/1 is the full size at 530 x 325 mm, and every fraction divides that footprint, so pans and lids interchange across any gastronorm equipment regardless of brand. Depth is quoted separately, which is why the same fraction comes in several heights.

How deep should a GN 1/1 be?
65 mm for prepped product laid out flat, 150 mm for general bulk, 200 mm for liquids. Deeper pans are heavier and chill more slowly.

Why not use one deep pan for everything?
A full 200 mm pan is heavy to lift and cools slowly through the centre, which matters for food safety when hot product goes into the fridge.

Will it fit standard gastronorm racking?
Yes, 53 x 32.5 cm is the GN 1/1 standard, so it fits any gastronorm rack, counter or trolley.

Is PP oven safe?
No. PP handles hot and cold service and is dishwasher safe, but cooking should be done in metal pans and the product transferred.
