Canteens

Choose the right GN container for your kitchen

Choosing the right container is about understanding the materials, sizes and areas of use. All containers in our range follow the international GN standard (Gastronorm), which means that the dimensions are adapted to fit perfectly in all standardised ovens, refrigerators, warming cabinets and serving trolleys.

Material choice – Stainless steel or plastic?

• Stainless steel: An extremely durable and hygienic material that can withstand both high oven temperatures and deep freezing. Perfect for cooking in the oven, keeping warm in a water bath or displaying in buffets. Steel conducts heat and cold effectively and is easy to clean.
• Transparent and black plastic: Particularly suitable for cold storage, display, preparation and storage in cold rooms. Transparent plastic containers make it easy to quickly see the contents, while black containers provide an elegant visual presentation on the buffet table or at the counter.

Benefits and areas of use

• Standardized dimensions: Combine different GN sizes (such as 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/6) on the same surface without wasting space.
• Versatile use: Suitable for preparation, cooking, cooling, transport and serving.
• Efficient structure: Creates order in cold rooms, storage rooms and during work shifts in the kitchen.

Smart accessories for optimal function

To get the most out of your canteens, there are several practical accessories:

• Perforated canteens: Optimal for steaming and draining liquid from vegetables or thawing ingredients, for example.
• Grids and trays: Place in the bottom of the canteen to keep ingredients dry or use as inserts.
• Mounting rails: Used to support and hold smaller canteens in place in larger chassis or serving trolleys.

Important things to consider before buying

• Check the depth of the canteen (from low 10mm/20mm trays up to 150-200mm deep canteens) to ensure they hold the right volume and fit in your equipment space.
• Make sure you need canteens for hot applications (oven/bain-marie) or for cold storage only.
