FAQs

Is this bin airtight?

No, the lid is designed for rapid access rather than airtight sealing, making it ideal for daily ingredients.

Can I put this bin in the microwave?

The bin is designed for storage, not heating; it is recommended to transfer food to a microwave-safe container.

What are the exact dimensions?

The dimensions are approximately 200mm in height, 200mm in width, and 395mm in depth.

Is the material safe for all foods?

Yes, it is constructed from food-grade, BPA-free polypropylene.

Can these be used in a blast chiller?

Yes, the materials are rated for chilled and frozen environments, including professional blast chillers.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to open or close

Check the rim of the bin for dried food residue; wipe clean to ensure the lid seats properly.

Bin surface appears cloudy or stained

Soak in a solution of warm water and mild dish soap; avoid using industrial-strength bleach which can degrade the plastic over time.

Bins are slipping when stacked

Ensure all bins are centered correctly on the footprint of the container below; check for plastic warping caused by excessive heat exposure.

Pros and Cons

  • Suitable for extreme temperatures from frozen to ambient
  • Easy to clean and dishwasher safe
  • Supports effective FIFO inventory systems

Cons

  • Specific 7L capacity may be small for bulk flour or sugar

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your ingredient bins, ensure they are placed on level shelving to take advantage of the stackable base. For optimal compatibility, use these in alignment with standard Gastronorm racking systems.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wash thoroughly before the first use with food-safe detergent.
  2. When cleaning, use non-abrasive cloths to prevent scratching the polypropylene surface, which can harbor bacteria.
  3. Dishwasher safe; place in the lower or upper rack according to your machine’s weight capacity.
  4. Avoid contact with sharp metal implements that may cause deep gouges.
