AMT Gastronorm essential baking trays are available in a range of industry standard sizes. Great for baking at home and for professional baking in commercial ovens. With unmatched quality, AMT baking trays are durable, versatile and made to last a life time.
The non-stick characteristics of our Lotan® coating makes the baking experience effortless, while also simplifying the cleaning process.
Q: What is a 5.5cm deep Gastronorm pan for?
A: General production: roasting with juices, baked dishes, gratins, casseroles and anything that needs more containment than a shallow tray but is not a bulk braise.
Q: Why is this the depth most kitchens use most?
A: Because it holds enough liquid to matter without the contents becoming so deep that the top and bottom cook differently. It is the compromise depth, and most dishes sit inside it.
Q: How does the Gastronorm standard help with production planning?
A: It makes quantities repeatable. GN1/1 is roughly 53 x 32cm, so once a recipe is scaled to a pan of a given depth, every batch produces the same yield and occupies a known amount of oven and rack space.
Q: How does it compare with the 2cm and 10cm pans?
A: By what the dish needs. 2cm suits anything spread flat for color. 10cm suits bulk cooking and holding. 5.5cm handles the majority in between.
Q: Can I braise in it?
A: For a shallow braise, yes. Anything needing food fully submerged for a long cook belongs in the 10cm pan, where the liquid has room.
Q: Does depth change cooking times?
A: Yes. Deeper contents heat more slowly at the center and lose less moisture, so a recipe moved from a shallow pan usually needs more time and less liquid.
Q: Is it suitable for holding and service as well as cooking?
A: Yes, and that is part of the GN format's purpose. The same pan cooks, transports and serves, which is why the standard exists.
Q: Does it need lining or greasing?
A: Generally not. The Lotan coating handles release, and on a pan used many times a shift that saves both the lining and the time to apply it.
Q: Is there a hob-capable version at this depth?
A: Yes. The A55333GI adds an induction-compatible base and handles at the same 5.5cm depth, which is the option to choose if a dish needs to start on the hob.
Q: How should GN pans be stored?
A: Stacked, on GN racking. Consistent external dimensions are the whole point of the standard, so a mixed set of depths still stacks and still fits the same trolleys.
