GN tray in black polycarbonate HENDI 862520

A GN1/3 food container in black polycarbonate holds prepared ingredients or plated dishes without absorbing odours or flavours. The standardised Gastro Norm footprint lets it slide into refrigerators, hot cupboards, bain-maries and transport trolleys across professional kitchens.

Polycarbonate is a rigid plastic that neither warps nor stains. It withstands repeated thermal cycles from deep-freeze to hot-holding without cracking, so the same container can move from blast chiller to microwave or food warmer. The material is also microwave-transparent, allowing even heating without hot spots.

Loading is straightforward: fill the container to the 4-litre volume scale marked on the side, stack another container on top if needed, and slide the unit into the appliance. The smooth walls and rounded corners make portioning easy and reduce food waste. When the service is over, remove the container, scrape out any residue, and place it in the dishwasher rack.

Construction is a single moulding of black polycarbonate with a raised volume scale on the side wall. The base and rim are designed to interlock when stacked, preventing slippage during transport or storage.

No controls are fitted; the container is a passive vessel.

The 325 × 176 × 100 mm footprint matches the GN1/3 standard, so it occupies the same shelf space as any other GN1/3 tray or pan. The 4-litre capacity allows bulk storage of sauces, soups, vegetables or pre-portioned main courses. The weight is light enough for kitchen staff to lift and carry repeatedly without strain. The temperature range of -40 °C to +110 °C covers every stage from frozen storage through reheating to hot-holding. Dishwasher compatibility means the container can be sanitised alongside other kitchenware at the end of each shift.

Cleaning is limited to the dishwasher or manual wash with standard kitchen detergents; no special solvents or abrasives are required. The polycarbonate surface resists staining and does not retain food particles if rinsed promptly.

The container is supplied in black polycarbonate only; no other colours or materials are listed for this article.

It fits any appliance or trolley designed for GN1/3 trays, including HENDI and other brands of refrigerators, hot cupboards, bain-maries, transport trolleys and combi-steamers.
