Product Information

Full details

The Araven 1/2 Gastronorm 10L food containers are essential storage solutions for professional chefs and busy commercial kitchen staff who require airtight, stackable, and durable food management. These containers excel at keeping ingredients fresh and organized through a robust seal and color-coded identification system, though they are specifically sized to 1/2 GN specifications, which may limit their utility in standard residential kitchen shelving without proper clearance.

FAQs

Are these containers BPA free?

Araven containers are manufactured for professional food safety standards and are safe for long-term food contact.

Can I use these in the microwave?

They are rated up to 95°C, making them suitable for warming in a microwave, but avoid prolonged heating of high-fat content items.

What are the exact dimensions?

Each container measures 150mm in height, 325mm in width, and 265mm in depth.

Do the color tabs come with the containers?

Yes, the set of four containers includes the color-coded tab system as part of the standard package.

Can these be used for hot-fill processes?

Yes, they are safe up to 95°C, which covers most hot-filling requirements in a professional kitchen.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels difficult to seal

Ensure the rim of the container is free of food debris or grease, then press firmly from the center outward to engage the seal.

Writing on label is difficult to remove

Use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent; avoid steel wool or aggressive scrubbing as it may scratch the label finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Airtight seal prevents leaks and cross-contamination
  • Stackable design improves organizational efficiency
  • High-contrast color-coding helps avoid allergen cross-contact
  • Integrated labeling system reduces waste and improves rotation
  • Wide operational temperature range covers most kitchen needs

Cons

  • 1/2 Gastronorm dimensions may be too large for domestic appliances
  • Requires specific markers for the wipe-clean label surface
  • Pack of four may be excessive for smaller kitchen environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, wash the containers and lids in warm, soapy water or a commercial dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residue. When configuring your storage, ensure the colored tabs are snapped firmly into the lid slots. To maintain the integrity of the wipe-clean labels, avoid using permanent markers directly on the label surface; use a food-safe grease pencil or dry-erase marker. For cleaning, these units are fully dishwasher safe. While they are durable, avoid using harsh abrasive pads on the clear plastic surface to maintain long-term transparency for easier content inspection. If using in a freezer, allow for slight expansion space if storing liquids with high water content.
