In fact, these measures refer to trays, pans, containers, grids and lids. But they can also involve containers, muffin molds, pizza plates, pans and plates. That's why knowing the GN sizes will help you spot the accessories most suitable for your professional kitchen.

Multiples and submultiples are used to size equipment, particularly ovens. In addition, the pan size also applies to gastronorm pans.

Knowing these dimensions is also useful in a pizzeria. In the pizza display cabinets the ingredients are in fact placed on gastronorm trays, always supported by sleepers.
