The perforated pan, also known as the GN tray, GN container or simply GN pan, is a cooking utensil used in professional cooking. The usefulness of these containers varies. They can be used as food storage containers, for safe food preparation, for cooking as well as for transporting food. The criterion that differentiates the gastronorm tray from other kitchen containers is that it has very precise dimensions that are currently used for catering. Some of these professional kitchen utensils also come with lids. The gastronorm containers are also stackable to save space in the kitchen.

It should be noted that the gastronorm standards dates back to 1964 when Swiss restaurateurs had difficulty in organizing their work properly. In 1993, this type of professional kitchen equipment was made official by the European Committee for Standardisation under the name of standard EN631-1. It should also be noted that before being accepted by the catering world, these gastronorm kitchen containers were disputed because they seemed too complicated to use. But today all professionals in the HORECA field use this catering and foodservice equipment which has proved to be very practical on the contrary!
