FAQs

Are these containers microwave safe?

No, as these are made of stainless steel, they should never be placed in a microwave.

Can I use these for deep freezing?

Yes, the 201 stainless steel construction is suitable for both cold storage and freezer applications.

Does the set include the lids?

Yes, each container comes with a matching lid designed to fit the standard dimensions.

What is the material grade?

These are constructed from 0.7mm 201 grade stainless steel, providing a balance of durability and weight.

Are these containers stackable?

Yes, they are designed with a tapered shape to allow for efficient stacking when not in use.

Are they suitable for acidic foods?

While stainless steel is generally resistant, it is recommended to clean the containers thoroughly after storing highly acidic foods to maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

Container is stuck inside another container

Do not pull with force. Run hot water over the outer container to encourage thermal expansion, then gently tap the sides to loosen.

Lid does not snap on securely

Ensure the container rim is clean and free of food debris; check for any minor bends in the steel edge that may be preventing a flush seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 0.7mm stainless steel resists wear and tear
  • Universal sizing integrates easily into existing commercial setups
  • Suitable for both high-heat and cold-storage applications
  • Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-shift cleanup
  • Includes lids for secure storage and food freshness

Cons

  • Not suitable for microwave use due to stainless steel material
  • Requires proper handling to avoid scratching the brushed finish
  • Lids are designed for standard containment and not heavy-duty pressure sealing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These containers are ready for immediate use. Because they follow industry-standard GN dimensions, they will drop directly into existing gastronorm frames or prep stations without the need for additional adapters.

Compatibility: Fully compatible with standard commercial refrigeration, heating elements, chafing dishes, and bain-maries that adhere to universal gastronorm sizing.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: While dishwasher safe, avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads on the brushed finish to maintain the aesthetic appearance.
  • Storage: When storing empty, stack containers carefully to prevent nesting too tightly, which can create a vacuum.
  • Inspection: Periodically check for dents on the rim, as deformation of the edge can affect how the lid seals or how it sits within the frame.
