How to choose the right size Gastronorm container
Choosing the right Gastronorm container is essential to improving kitchen efficiency. Here's how to navigate sizes and depths.
One of the strengths of the Gastronorm standard is its modularity. But to make the most of it, it's important to know how to choose the right size.
The base is the GN 1/1 format (530 x 325 mm), equivalent to a full container. From there, smaller variants such as GN 1/2, GN 1/3, GN 1/4, GN 1/6, and GN 1/9 develop. This division allows multiple containers to be combined in the same space without waste, ensuring order and flexibility.
In addition to width and length, depth is also important. The 20 mm versions are ideal for sauces and condiments, while those 100 mm or more are perfect for foods that need to be stored or served in large quantities.
For a professional kitchen, it's recommended to have a set of containers of various sizes available, so they can easily adapt to any situation, from preparation to serving.
Choosing the right GN size translates into maximum efficiency, practicality, and space optimization.
