Definitions

• the invention relates to an adapter device according to claim 1 for creating a support for at least a first basin with certain first dimensions, preferably standard dimensions, in or on a second basin with deviating from the first dimensions second dimensions.
• GN containers In the food industry standardized containers, so-called gastro-norm or GN containers are widely used, which allow the use of standardized sizes easy replacement of food containers. Such containers are used in particular in food processing companies and in commercial kitchens use. They are based on a standard established in 1964 by the Swiss Association for Hospitality, Home and Community Catering and the Swiss Hotel Association. The said containers are particularly suitable for keeping warm and cold food, but also for storing and tidying up food. For further properties of GN containers and their dimensions, cf. For example, the entry at de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastro-Norm.
