FAQs
Is the lid included with this container?
No, the 3.5L container is sold as a standalone unit. Compatible 1/2 GN lids can be purchased separately.
Can I use this in an oven?
Yes, it is designed for food-grade temperature ranges, making it suitable for warming applications in ovens or steam tables.
Is it safe to store acidic foods like tomatoes?
Yes, the corrosion-resistant material is designed to handle common food ingredients, including acidic sauces.
Does the container stack with others of the same size?
Yes, the design is tapered to allow for easy nesting, which helps save valuable space in your kitchen storage area.
What are the exact dimensions?
This is a 1/2 size GN container with a depth of 65mm, designed to match the global industry standard for 1/2 GN pans.
Troubleshooting
Container is stuck in the frame
Do not force it. Apply a small amount of warm water around the edges to loosen any food debris that may have acted as an adhesive.
Discoloration or spots on the surface
These are likely mineral deposits or heat stains. A food-safe stainless steel cleaner or a vinegar-based solution will restore the brushed finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate this container, simply place it into any standard 1/2 GN compatible frame, refrigeration rail, or chafing dish. No specialized setup is required; the universal sizing guarantees a snug, secure fit.
For maintenance, the container is dishwasher safe. While the finish is corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads that might dull the brushed appearance over time. When using in a freezer, ensure that food items are not overfilled, as the expansion of liquids during the freezing process may cause deformation to the metal walls.
