FAQs

Is this container freezer-safe?

Yes, the high-grade 201 stainless steel is safe for use in cold storage and commercial freezers.

Can I use this for direct cooking on a stovetop?

No, these containers are designed for food service, storage, and holding; they are not intended for direct cooking over a burner.

Does it come with a lid?

Yes, this specific model includes a matching lid for secure storage.

What does 1/6 size mean?

1/6 is a standard Gastronorm sizing that indicates the container occupies one-sixth of the total area of a standard full-size steam table pan.

Is the stainless steel food-grade?

Yes, the materials used are suitable for food contact in professional catering environments.

Can I stack these containers?

Yes, the design allows for nesting and stacking when empty to save space, though users should be careful of potential sticking.

Troubleshooting

Container is stuck inside another pan

Do not force them apart; try running cold water over the outer pan while warming the inner pan slightly to allow for thermal expansion/contraction.

Visible water spots after washing

Wipe the surface immediately with a soft, dry cloth after the wash cycle to prevent mineral deposits from hardening on the metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply insert the container into any standard 1/6 GN rail system.

While the unit is dishwasher safe, avoid using harsh scouring pads that could scratch the brushed metal surface. Ensure the container is completely dry before stacking for storage to prevent any moisture buildup between units.
