Product Information

Full details

The Argon Tableware 1/3 150mm Gastronorm Container is a professional-grade food storage and service solution designed for chefs and catering professionals who need high-capacity, durable equipment. With a 5.5-litre volume and robust stainless steel construction, it excels in busy commercial kitchens for ingredient prep, steam table service, and cold storage. While its heavy-duty design ensures longevity, users should note that the container is sold as a standalone unit and does not include a lid, which may need to be purchased separately depending on your storage requirements.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this container come with a lid?

No, this specific product is the container only. Lids must be purchased separately if required for your operation.

Is this container safe for freezing?

Yes, it is suitable for cold storage; however, ensure you leave room for expansion if storing liquids that may freeze solid.

Can I use this in an oven?

It is designed for hot holding in steam tables; check your oven temperature settings, as the 0.7mm steel is not intended for high-heat roasting or direct flame contact.

What does the '1/3' designation mean?

This refers to the standard Gastronorm size, meaning the container footprint is exactly one-third the size of a standard full-size GN 1/1 pan.

Is the stainless steel magnetic?

201-grade stainless steel often exhibits slight magnetic properties, which is normal for this material type and does not affect its food safety or durability.

Troubleshooting

Container fits too tightly in the frame

Check the frame for bent edges or debris buildup that may be obstructing the standard fitment.

Water spots or cloudy finish after dishwasher

Hard water deposits can accumulate; polish the container with a soft cloth and a light vinegar solution, then rinse well.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 0.7mm stainless steel construction
  • Universal Gastronorm sizing for seamless integration
  • Suitable for hot and cold food applications
  • Dishwasher safe for efficient cleaning
  • Corrosion-resistant material

Cons

  • Lid not included with this unit
  • 201-grade steel requires proper drying to maintain finish
  • Cannot be used in direct flame applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup for these containers is straightforward: simply insert the container into any standard GN-compatible rack or frame. Because they adhere to global GN standards, you will not need to make adjustments to your existing equipment.

To ensure the longevity of your 201 stainless steel:

  • Cleaning: While dishwasher safe, use mild, non-abrasive detergents to preserve the brushed finish. Avoid using steel wool or harsh scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
  • Drying: To prevent spotting or minor oxidation, ensure the containers are dried thoroughly after washing.
  • Compatibility: Ensure your specific prep station or steam table accepts 1/3 GN size containers before integration.
