FAQs

Is this container safe for microwave use?

Yes, it is heat resistant up to +95°C, making it suitable for warming, but do not exceed this temperature limit.

Can I use these in a blast chiller?

Yes, the material is designed to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C, making it ideal for blast chilling.

Are the lids interchangeable with other sizes?

The lids are designed for the 1/2 Gastronorm series, but check that you are using the specific lid size intended for the 12500ml dimensions.

What are the color clips used for?

They are used for food safety color-coding to prevent cross-contamination by assigning specific colors to food types.

Is the labeling permanent?

The label area is built into the container, and while it is dishwasher-proof, it is designed to be written on and wiped clean repeatedly.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels loose or does not seal airtight

Check the perimeter of the lid for debris and ensure all four sides are pressed down firmly against the rim.

Marker ink is difficult to remove from the label

Use a standard non-permanent whiteboard marker or ensure you are using a damp cloth immediately after wiping the surface.

Container is stained from highly pigmented foods

Soak the container in warm soapy water for 30 minutes, or use a non-abrasive scrubbing sponge to remove residues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for high-frequency professional use
  • Excellent temperature versatility from freezing to near-boiling
  • Easy-to-clean design with dishwasher-safe components
  • Supports food safety regulations with color-coded clip system

Cons

  • Large 12500ml size requires significant shelf space
  • Requires proper lid alignment to ensure a true airtight seal
  • Rigid material is not stackable with non-Gastronorm standard containers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your container, simply attach the appropriate color-coded clip to the designated area on the lid to define the food safety category. When sealing, press down firmly around all edges of the lid until you feel it click into place to ensure an airtight seal. For care, all components are dishwasher safe. Use a dry-erase marker on the dedicated wipe-clean label to record storage dates. Ensure the container is dry before sealing if you are storing dry goods to prevent condensation buildup.
