Professional GN Pans & Containers for Kitchen and Bar – CocktailBar

GN pans (Gastronorm) and professional food containers are must-haves in the world of catering, snacking, professional kitchens and bars. At CocktailBar, we offer a complete selection of GN pans in stainless steel and food-grade polypropylene, with or without lids, in various depths, sizes and formats suited to every professional requirement.

What is a GN pan?

A GN pan, short for Gastronorm, is a container with standardized dimensions used in catering and hospitality for storing, preparing, transporting and displaying food. They come in GN 1/1, GN 1/2, GN 1/3, GN 2/3, GN 1/4, GN 1/6, GN 1/9 formats, and more. This standardization ensures perfect compatibility with professional equipment such as trolleys, cold tables, ingredient bins, bar stations, buffets, ovens, bain-maries and refrigerators.

Why use GN pans in a bar?

In the world of professional bars, GN pans are essential for organizing ingredients, saving prep time, and ensuring smooth service. They’re used to store lemon wedges, cocktail garnishes, freshly cut fruit, herbs, spices, as well as homemade syrups and ready-to-use preparations.

They fit perfectly into modular bar stations, bar caddies, or simply on a prep counter. Stackable, impact-resistant and easy to clean, they optimize space while guaranteeing spotless hygiene.

Using GN pans in the kitchen

In the kitchen, GN pans are incredibly versatile. They’re used to prepare, store, cook and serve food. Whether keeping sauces on hand, setting up mise en place, holding food warm in a bain-marie, or storing raw ingredients cold, the GN pan is an essential ally for chefs, caterers, pastry chefs and restaurateurs.

Stainless steel GN pans are perfect for oven cooking, holding temperature, or intensive use in hot environments. Food-grade plastic GN pans are ideal for cold storage, storing dry goods, and prepping salads, sandwiches or poke bowls.

  Whether you’re a bartender, barista or juice bar manager, GN pans help you keep all your ingredients organized and within reach. Perfect for prepping mojito fruit, homemade syrups, infusions, zests, or smoothie bowl toppings. Staying organized is key to saving time during service and delivering consistent results.
