Full details

It is an ideal solution for chefs and catering staff who require clear visibility of ingredients and consistent performance across hot and cold storage scenarios. While its 200mm depth is excellent for bulk storage, it requires adequate vertical clearance in shelving units and freezers to ensure a proper fit.

FAQs
Is this container suitable for hot food?
Yes, it is designed for hot and cold food storage, though it should be used for storing food rather than direct heating on a stove.
Does it come with a lid?
No, lids for 1/1 gastronorm containers are typically sold separately.
Is the material dishwasher safe?
Yes, polypropylene is generally safe for commercial dishwasher use.
Can I use this for microwave heating?
While the material is durable, please verify the specific temperature ratings for the container before using it for microwave reheating.
What are the dimensions of a 1/1 GN container?
A standard 1/1 GN container measures approximately 530mm by 325mm.
Is the plastic resistant to staining?
Polypropylene is highly durable, but highly acidic or pigmented foods like tomato sauce may stain it over time if left for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Container is difficult to slide into the rack rails
Check for debris or dried food buildup on the rails or the container lip and clean thoroughly.
Lid feels stiff or difficult to close
Ensure the container is not overfilled and that the edge is free of grease; allow the container to reach room temperature if it has just been removed from a deep freeze.
Surface of the container has become cloudy
Clouding is often caused by excessive scouring; switch to a soft non-scratch pad and ensure you are using approved commercial cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate these containers into your workflow, ensure your storage racks are set to accommodate the 200mm height. When cleaning, avoid harsh abrasive sponges or metal scouring pads, which can cloud the plastic over time; instead, use soft brushes and standard dishwashing detergent. For sanitization, follow your facility’s standard chemical protocols for polypropylene. If using in a freezer, allow for slight expansion of liquids, and ensure the container is fully thawed before attempting to remove a tight-fitting lid to prevent cracking.
