The GN 1/3 depth-oriented basket is the intermediate format for the Prestige 700 electric pasta cooker — a food-grade stainless basket of 145×290×215mm, 5kg, with the long side (290mm) set in depth in the tank. At €145 excl. VAT, it occupies a third of the tank surface and offers significantly more cooking capacity than the GN 1/6, for volume production per variety.
Depth Orientation: When to Choose It
The GN 1/3 comes in two orientations for the Prestige 700 — depth (this model) and width (ref 1354). The depth orientation sets the 290mm long side front-to-back in the tank, which suits tanks where the usable depth is more generous than the width. It is the right choice when you want fewer, larger baskets per variety rather than many small ones — for example a single high-volume pasta cooked in bulk. Match the orientation to your tank's available geometry.

How a GN Basket Works in a Pasta Cooker
A Gastronorm (GN) basket portions and cooks pasta inside the cooker's hot water tank, then lifts out to drain in one move — no pouring boiling water through a colander. Each basket holds its own portion, so different orders cook and drain independently and reach the counter at an even, controlled doneness. The GN standard is modular: smaller formats (GN 1/6, 1/4, 1/3) let you run several baskets in a single tank at once, mixing pasta types and portion sizes in parallel.
Food-Grade Stainless Steel and Ergonomic Handling
The basket is made from food-grade stainless steel — non-corrosive, resistant to constant immersion in boiling water, and built to last in daily service. Ergonomic handles allow safe lifting and draining without burns, and let staff swap baskets quickly during a rush. Keeping a spare basket on hand means production continues without interruption if one is being cleaned or is in use.
Compatibility, Cleaning and HACCP
This basket is designed for a specific pasta-cooker model — check the compatibility noted below before ordering, as tank dimensions vary by range. Smooth stainless surfaces rinse and wash easily between services and slot straight into your HACCP cleaning plan. For any compatibility question, contact our team with the exact model of your cooker.
