Medium Depth Half-Size Foil Pans for Food Service

The WR3226M series of half-size rectangular aluminum pans provides an optimal balance of surface area and capacity for commercial food service operations. Sourced directly from our automated stamping lines, these steam table pans meet the rigorous volume demands of restaurant chains, event caterers, and central kitchens, maintaining full compliance with FDA, CE, and BRCGS food safety standards.

Optimized 52mm Depth for Catering

At 52mm deep, the WR3226M is classified as a medium-depth catering tray. This profile is highly effective for recipes that require controlled portioning and even heat distribution, such as baked pastas, medium-cut roasted proteins, and side dishes. The wrinkle-wall structure adds essential mechanical rigidity to the 324x264mm frame, ensuring the pan resists bending when loaded with dense foods.

GN 1/2 Compatibility & Thermal Efficiency

Engineered to fit perfectly into standard catering chafers and steam tables, this 2980ml container is a staple for hot food holding and buffet lines. Its exceptional thermal conductivity allows for rapid, even heating and freezing. Kitchen staff can prep meals, blast freeze them, and transfer them directly to commercial ovens or warming trays within the exact same container, eliminating the need to transfer food and reducing prep time.

We offer highly flexible OEM services, including custom retail shrink-wrapping, tailored corrugated master cartons, and matching aluminum lids.

FAQs

Is the WR3226M medium pan compatible with standard GN 1/2 steam tables?

Yes, the 324x264mm dimensions are engineered specifically to match Gastronorm 1/2 (GN 1/2) sizing, fitting seamlessly into commercial catering chafers, steam tables, and water pans without slipping.

What culinary applications are best suited for the 2980ml medium depth pan?

The 52mm depth (2980ml capacity) provides a versatile middle ground. It is highly recommended for baked ziti, enchiladas, roasted vegetables, and medium-portion catering entrees where you want to maintain moisture while achieving a baked crust on top.

Can these foil containers transition safely from a freezer to an oven?

Absolutely. The heavy-gauge aluminum alloy functions reliably across extreme temperature ranges. Kitchen staff can safely freeze prepped meals and transfer them directly into a commercial oven for reheating without any structural compromise or melting.

Do you offer matching lids and custom bulk packaging for this model?

Yes, we supply highly secure foil-laminated paper lids designed to crimp tightly over the full curl rim. We specialize in B2B wholesale and can provide customized bulk packaging, private-label printing, and retail-ready configurations for your distribution network.
