Gastronorm pan sizes: the chart, the depths, and what actually fits

Every gastronorm pan in the world is a fraction of one rectangle: 530 × 325 mm. Learn that rectangle and you can read any buffet, oven or counter spec sheet without a translator.

Key answers

The module: 530 × 325 mm

GN 1/1 is the full size. Everything else is cut from the same footprint so that pans interchange between a chafing dish, a combi oven, a blast chiller, a salad counter and a trolley rack without changing the rails. The dimensions below are the EN 631 plan sizes; our own catalogue prints the same numbers against the DJ model codes.

Depth is the number buyers forget to specify

Plan size decides whether the pan fits; depth decides how much food it holds and whether the lid closes. Our stocked depths run 25, 40, 65, 100 and 150 mm. Rough gross volume for a GN 1/1, before you allow for the rim and for not filling to the brim:

Depth (mm)Gross litres, GN 1/1Typical use
25≈ 4.3pastry trays, display, thawing, lids over deeper pans
40≈ 6.9baked dishes, gnocchi, sliced display
65≈ 11.2the workhorse: hot holding in a chafing dish, prep in a cold counter
100≈ 17.2sauces, marinating, batch cooking, soups
150≈ 25.9deep soups and stews — check the lid and the unit's internal height first

Which pan goes in which machine

Your equipmentWhat to buyWhy
Chafing dish (roll-top or flat)1/1 or 1/2, depth 65 or 100 mm1/1 for full-size dishes; two 1/2 lets you hold two dishes in one frame
Refrigerated salad counter1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/6, depth 100–150 mmMixing fractions is how you fit six ingredients into one rail
Combi oven / deck oven2/1 or 1/1, depth 25–65 mmOvens are rated in GN 2/1 or 1/1 counts — match the tray guides
Blast chiller1/1 or 2/3, depth 40–65 mmShallow cools faster; deep pans hold heat in the core
Soup kettle / sauce pump station1/1 depth 150 mm, or the matching insertVolume matters more than footprint for liquids
Transport trolley1/1 with a flat lid, on a GN rackRacks are spaced by pan depth, not by count
