FAQs
Is this container freezer-safe?
Yes, the construction is durable enough for both cold storage and high-heat steam table applications.
Does it come with a lid?
Yes, this model includes a matching lid to help maintain food freshness and temperature.
What does the 1/2 GN size mean?
It refers to the footprint of the container, which is half the size of a standard full-size gastronorm pan (approx 325mm x 265mm).
Can I stack these containers?
While they are designed for standard nesting, always ensure the containers are empty before stacking to avoid vacuum sealing.
Is the material reactive to acidic foods?
The corrosion-resistant finish is designed to handle common food acids, but it is best practice not to store highly acidic ingredients for excessively long durations.
Troubleshooting
Container feels stuck in the prep frame
Check for debris or food buildup around the rim or guide rails and clear any obstructions.
Visible spots on metal finish
These are likely mineral deposits from water; ensure the container is dried immediately after the dishwasher cycle to maintain the finish.
