Choosing your Paderno equipment

What sets Paderno equipment apart in the catering market?

Paderno engineers its products to a professional specification: reinforced stainless steel thickness, riveted edges, flat-welded handles for easy stacking in blast chillers, and widespread induction compatibility. The Series 1000 range — the brand's signature — is dimensioned to Italian professional kitchen standards, making it a long-standing reference in professional catering.

Why is the Paderno Series 1000 a benchmark?

The Series 1000 stockpot is Paderno's historic range: 18/10 stainless steel, sandwich heat-diffusing induction-compatible base, sizes from 12 cm to 50 cm in diameter. Its modular design allows saucepans, casseroles, sauté pans and tall stockpots to be matched with interchangeable lids — a major asset for brigade work.

What are Paderno Gastronorme containers used for?

Gastronorm containers comply with the European GN standard (530 × 325 mm for GN 1/1, with 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6 and 1/9 divisions). They standardise storage, transport, combi-oven cooking and bain-marie service. Paderno models come in various depths (20, 65, 100, 150, 200 mm) and are compatible with all hot and cold cabinets on the market.

What's the difference between Flexipad moulds and a regular silicone mould?

Flexipad moulds are built for intensive professional use: reinforced food-grade silicone, resistance from -40 °C to +260 °C, trays in the 600 × 400 mm format (professional oven standard) or 300 × 175 mm. Demoulding is straightforward and dimensional stability holds through repeated cycles, unlike domestic silicone which deforms quickly.
