Gastronorm container 265x162x40 mm (stainless steel) KZ-GN1404 S – how to choose the right one
The KZ-GN1404 Gastronorm container is in GN 1/4 format, measuring 265 x 162 mm, with a 40 mm depth, giving 1.0 l. This is an intermediate format between a tray and a proper well: it holds a litre, yet keeps a low, convenient wall.
This proportion works well for cooling. A litre spread over a GN 1/1 quarter area forms a four-centimetre layer, through which heat escapes much faster than in a tall container - this shortens the cycle in the blast chiller.
The same feature is useful for marinating flat products. Fillets, slices and cutlets lie side by side, covered by a small amount of brine, so the marinade acts evenly and does not need to be prepared in excess.
What the GN sizes mean and how to choose the depth – we explained it in the selection guide for this category.
Where it works
- Marinating fillets and slices of meat in a flat layer
- Cooling cooked ingredients in a blast chiller
- Portioning and storing garnish in the cold store
- Browning and gratinating short portions in the oven
FAQ
Frequently asked questions

Ask a questionWhen should 40 mm be chosen over 65 mm?
When fast cooling matters, or when the product needs to be laid in a single layer. At 65 mm, 1.8 l fits, but the load then sits thicker and takes longer to reach temperature.
Can a container like this go into a bain-marie?
Physically yes, if the well is not too deep. In practice, though, a litre in a flat container loses temperature quickly, so for serving something warm a deeper version is a better choice.
How much marinade is needed for one such container?
Enough that the product is just covered - with a low wall, that is usually a few hundred millilitres. This is a clear saving compared with a deep container, where the brine has to fill the whole volume.
