FAQs
Is this container microwave safe?
Yes, it can withstand temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius, but avoid heating for extended periods with high-fat or high-sugar foods which can exceed this temperature rapidly.
Can I use this for freezer storage?
Yes, the container is rated down to -40 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for freezing prep items or batches.
Does it come with a lid?
The base unit is sold individually; compatible 1/1 GN lids must be purchased separately.
What does 1/1 Gastronorm mean?
It refers to the standardized industry size (approx 530mm x 325mm) ensuring it fits all professional kitchen equipment worldwide.
How do I remove stubborn grease?
Use a non-abrasive detergent and a soft sponge. For heavy buildup, soak in warm soapy water before cycling through the dishwasher.
Troubleshooting
Container feels 'cloudy' after many washes
This is often due to mineral buildup from hard water. Soak in a mild vinegar solution and rinse thoroughly.
Stuck in a rack or another container
Do not force apart. Allow the container to reach room temperature, as thermal contraction may release the vacuum seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit is compatible with all standard 1/1 gastronorm-sized racks and buffet holding equipment. To ensure the longevity of the polycarbonate material:
- Cleaning: Place the container in the dishwasher using a standard cycle. Avoid heavy-duty steel wool or metal scrapers that can cause micro-scratches.
- Storage: Can be safely stacked when empty, though avoid dropping them to prevent corner stress.
- Usage Limits: Do not exceed the +100 degrees Celsius limit. If using for sous-vide, ensure the water bath temperature is regulated.
- Handling: When removing from a hot unit, always use caution, although the material resists heat transfer, the contents may still be boiling.
