Commercial Catering Equipment for Professional Events
Catering teams pair these 1/2 size pans with standard chafing dishes and bain-maries. Two of these units fit side by side into a full-size GN 1/1 opening, giving chefs flexibility in menu presentation. The 100mm depth holds 6.2 litres of food, making it suitable for high-volume service where frequent refilling disrupts the flow of guests. You can move these pans directly from preparation areas to hot holding stations. The 0.57kg weight keeps the unit manageable even when full of dense ingredients like mashed potatoes or rich stews.
Organise Your Kitchen Layout
Kitchen managers build modular service stations by combining different pan sizes. You can slot this 1/2 size unit next to smaller 1/4 or 1/6 pans to separate dietary requirements or allergen-free options. The stainless steel construction conducts heat well, keeping food at safe serving temperatures throughout long corporate functions or wedding breakfasts. After service, staff stack the empty pans to save space in tight temporary kitchens.
Equipping Your Buffet Stations
Event professionals place these pans into chafing frames on top of our sturdy trestle tables during temporary dining setups. You can browse our table hire section to find suitable surfaces for your food displays. The 325mm x 265mm footprint takes up minimal space, allowing you to present multiple dishes side by side. Independent caterers appreciate the uniform look these pans bring to corporate hospitality suites and VIP enclosures. Expo Hire supplies professional catering equipment hire to venues, festival operators, and corporate event teams.
