Product Information

Full details

The Araven 1/2 Gastronorm Food Container is designed for professional kitchen staff and food safety managers who need reliable, organized storage solutions. Its primary benefit is the integrated colour-coding and labeling system, which significantly reduces cross-contamination risks and simplifies inventory rotation. While it offers excellent durability and thermal versatility, users should note that its rigid design means it is not collapsible, requiring dedicated shelving space for storage when not in use.

FAQs

Is the material BPA free?

Yes, Araven food storage solutions are manufactured using food-grade materials compliant with international safety standards.

Can I use this in an oven?

No, this container is rated for microwaves, not conventional ovens or heat lamps exceeding 95°C.

What happens if a clip is lost?

The container remains functional without the clips, though the colour-coding system will no longer be active.

Can I stack these containers?

Yes, the design is modular and stackable with other 1/2 GN containers of the same series.

How do I remove permanent marker from the label area?

The label area is designed to be wiped clean, but stubborn ink can be removed with a damp cloth or a small amount of dish soap.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels difficult to seal

Ensure the container rim and lid seal are clean and free of food debris or grease.

Label area is stained

Use a mild degreasing detergent and a non-abrasive cloth; avoid harsh solvents that might damage the surface.

Container is stuck to another when nested

Do not force them apart; gently tap the sides or use a thin, dull plastic tool to introduce air between the containers.
