FAQs

Are these containers microwave safe?

While they can withstand temperatures up to 95°C, they are primarily designed for storage; limit microwave use to short durations and avoid high-fat or high-sugar contents that may heat unevenly.

Can I use these in a blast chiller?

Yes, the material is designed to withstand rapid temperature changes, making it suitable for blast chilling procedures.

What are the dimensions of this container?

The container measures 100mm in height, 265mm in width, and 162mm in depth.

Do I need special pens for the labels?

Standard dry-erase or permanent markers typically work well, but it is recommended to test the ink on a small corner to ensure it wipes clean easily.

Are the clips dishwasher safe?

Yes, the color-coding clips are designed to be durable and are fully dishwasher safe.

Is this material BPA-free?

Araven professional food containers are manufactured using high-quality, food-grade materials compliant with international food safety standards.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels difficult to secure

Ensure the rim of the container is clean and free of food debris, as residue can prevent a proper airtight seal.

Label is difficult to wipe clean

Use an alcohol-based wipe or a mild detergent; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the specialized labeling surface.

Container stained after heavy use

Soak the container in warm soapy water and a mild bleach solution if staining persists, then sanitize thoroughly in the dishwasher.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for extreme temperatures
  • Effective color-coding system for food safety compliance
  • Easy to clean and maintain in dishwasher settings
  • Airtight design preserves food quality

Cons

  • Rigid dimensions may not fit in cramped domestic fridge shelves
  • Requires manual application of label info with specific markers
  • Fixed 1/4 GN size might be too tall for shallow storage areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your container, attach the preferred color-coded clip to the designated slot on the lid to signify the food category. Use a permanent marker on the wipe-clean label to note the date and contents; this can be easily removed with a damp cloth or during a standard dishwasher cycle. For care, ensure the container is placed on the top rack of the dishwasher if using high-heat cycles to prevent potential warping. When freezing, leave roughly 1-2cm of headspace at the top to allow for liquid expansion, preventing the lid from popping due to pressure.
