Gastronorm — Lacor

The Gastronorm collection by Lacor brings together food pans, lids and cutlery trays in the standardised GN format, essential to any professional kitchen. The Gastronorm format ensures immediate compatibility with refrigerated cabinets, ovens, warmers and bain-marie units in catering kitchens.

What makes the Gastronorm format unique

The GN format is a European standard that standardises the dimensions of food pans: GN 1/1 (530 × 325 mm), GN 1/3, GN 1/6, etc. This standardisation allows rational stacking and interchangeability between equipment. The Lacor pieces in this collection are made of food-grade polypropylene, a hygienic, lightweight material resistant to corrosion and easy to clean.

• Food-grade polypropylene, resistant to intensive washing
• Several sub-formats: GN 1/1, GN 1/3, GN 1/6, etc.
• Stackable pans, matching lids for hygienic storage

Choosing within the Gastronorm collection

Why is the Gastronorm format essential in professional kitchens?

Because it ensures interoperability: a GN 1/3 pan fits into all GN-standard cabinets, warmers and bain-marie units. It is the foundation of professional kitchen organisation, optimising storage, cold conservation and service.

What is the difference between GN 1/1, 1/3 and 1/6?

The fractions indicate the proportion of a full GN 1/1 pan (53 × 32.5 cm). A GN 1/3 takes up a third of the length, a GN 1/6 a sixth. The smaller the fraction, the more compact the pan, ideal for separating several ingredients in the same cabinet or bain-marie.

Which pan should I choose for which use?

The GN 1/1 is for bulk storage (prepared vegetables, marinated meats). The GN 1/3 suits service portions (garnishes, sauces). The GN 1/6 is intended for small portions (condiments, chopped herbs) or multi-compartment bain-marie setups. The GN 1/1 cutlery tray organises cutlery in drawers.

Is polypropylene dishwasher-safe?

Yes, food-grade polypropylene is designed to withstand intensive washing in professional dishwashers. Lacor confirms this compatibility for the pans and lids in the collection, which simplifies daily maintenance in professional kitchens.
