Polycarbonate 

Polycarbonate Gastronorm Containers (Plastic GN Containers) are produced for refrigerated food, chilling and buffet display setting purposes. Due to the material, these products are not oven-safe and suitable for cooking. 

Melamine

Melamine Gastronorm Containers have the same functions as Plastic Gastronome Containers. Melamine is a rigid, lightweight and durable material but not good for conducting heat. Melamine GN products are not suitable for cooking or used in the oven.

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel Gastronorm Containers could be the best selection for commercial kitchens, which are usually used for cooking and chilling. With durability and excellence in conducting heat, the products are oven-safe.
