Stainless Steel Hotel Pans: Material & Style Options

Specify the metal pan, not just the name

Hotel pan, food pan and GN pan are names used for this product family. For a stainless steel order, the useful differences are the grade, thickness, style and selected dimensions, rather than the name alone.

The catalog lists 201 and 304 stainless steel as regular material options; 316 requires a custom order. State the grade you need and any documentation requirement in the inquiry. A grade option is not proof of a certification or suitability for every application.

Match thickness, style and finish

Listed thickness options are 0.4 / 0.55 / 0.65 / 0.8mm. GN 2/1 is listed at 0.8mm only in the reference matrix; a custom requirement needs separate confirmation.

The catalog offers Anti-jam, American Style and European Style selectors. GN 2/1 and GN 2/4 are limited to Anti-jam or American Style. Do not assume every size, depth, thickness and style combination is available.

Finish options are untreated, water washed and electrolytic. Specify your preferred finish alongside the material grade and quantity so the quotation covers the requested combination.

Plan lids and equipment fit together

Select the pan size and depth before requesting a matching lid. The lid catalog offers plain, notched and custom lid discussions. Include rim details and handle or utensil clearance when matching existing equipment.

Perforated pans are listed as matching options. Describe the required hole pattern and intended use; the selected pan dimensions alone do not specify the perforation.

What to confirm before ordering

Buying replacements? Send the existing pan measurements and a rim photo rather than relying on the name “hotel pan”. Buying for a new line? Share the equipment drawing, service use and cleaning requirements for review.

Request confirmation of the chosen grade, thickness, lid and finish on the quotation. Ask separately about samples, required documentation and the delivery schedule; this page does not confirm stock for a specific combination.

Planning a buffet equipment order?

Browse chafing dishes separately and ask the team to confirm the insert dimensions. A pan from this range is not automatically a fit for every chafing dish.

Send a stainless steel pan specification

Include the GN size, depth, grade, thickness, style, finish, quantity, lid or perforation request and destination. Add drawings or a reference photo if the pan must match existing equipment.
