Product Information

Full details

The Araven 21Ltr Gastronorm Food Storage Box is an essential tool for professional kitchens seeking to maximize food safety, organization, and space efficiency. Designed for heavy-duty daily use, these containers feature an exceptionally robust, airtight seal that prevents spills even when stored on their side; however, users should note that the strong suction of the lid requires a firm grip to release, which may take practice in fast-paced environments.

FAQs

Can these containers go in the freezer?

Yes, they are designed to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C.

Are these microwave safe?

The containers are heat resistant up to +95°C, but they are generally intended for food storage rather than high-heat cooking.

Do the lids come included?

Yes, these are sold in packs of four, with lids included for each container.

Can I stack different sizes?

These are designed to stack with other 1/1GN containers of the same footprint for stability.

How do I use the color-coded tabs?

The tabs are provided to help your team visually organize different food groups or day-of-the-week storage protocols.

What are the exact dimensions?

The dimensions are 150mm in height, 530mm in width, and 325mm in depth.

Troubleshooting

Lid is stuck and difficult to open

The seal is very tight; try lifting one corner slightly to break the vacuum before pulling the rest of the lid away.

Label is difficult to wipe clean

Ensure you are using a dry-wipe marker compatible with food-safe storage surfaces. If ink persists, use a mild food-safe degreaser or sanitizing solution.

Contents are leaking during transport

Check the seal for any debris or food particles that might be preventing a flush closure. Clean the rim thoroughly and re-seat the lid.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely secure, leak-proof airtight seal
  • Stackable design saves valuable shelf space
  • Wide operating temperature range covers freezing to near-boiling
  • Integrated labeling system reduces food waste through better management
  • Dishwasher safe for easy sanitation

Cons

  • Lid can be difficult to remove due to the strong vacuum seal
  • Large footprint may be bulky for smaller domestic refrigerators
  • Requires proper cleaning to maintain the integrity of the airtight seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Before first use, ensure the container and lid are washed in warm, soapy water. Apply the color-coded tab to the designated slot to suit your kitchen's labeling system.
  2. Compatibility: These are standard 1/1GN (Gastronorm) dimensions (150H x 530W x 325D mm), making them compatible with standard kitchen racking systems, prep tables, and GN-sized shelving.
  3. Care: While these containers are dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive scouring pads on the wipe-clean label area to keep it legible over time. When closing the lid, press down firmly on all corners to ensure the airtight seal is fully engaged.
