Product Information

Full details

The Argon Tableware 1/2 Gastronorm Container is an essential tool for professional chefs and caterers who need reliable, high-capacity food storage and presentation. With an 8.5-litre volume and rugged stainless steel construction, it excels in busy commercial kitchens for everything from cold ingredient prep to hot buffet service; however, users should note that as a 150mm deep container, it requires significant vertical space in prep stations or under-counter fridges.

FAQs

Is this container safe for use in an oven?

Yes, stainless steel containers are oven-safe for reheating food, but please handle with caution as the metal will be extremely hot.

Can I use this for freezing food?

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

Does it come with a lid?

Please check the specific product SKU, but most standard Argon Tableware GN sets include a matching lid to maintain food freshness.

Is this compatible with plastic lids?

Yes, as long as the lids are universal 1/2 GN size, they will fit the rim of this container.

Will this rust if left in a humid environment?

While the steel is corrosion-resistant, it should be dried thoroughly after washing to prevent superficial water marks or tea-staining over a long period.

Troubleshooting

Container is stuck inside another pan

Do not pull with force. Run cold water over the outer pan and warm water inside the inner pan to break the vacuum seal caused by temperature changes.

Visible water spots or residue after dishwasher cycle

Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth and a drop of food-grade mineral oil to restore the brushed steel finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 0.7mm stainless steel construction
  • Universal fit for standard kitchen infrastructure
  • Easy to clean and fully dishwasher safe
  • Excellent for both hot and cold service
  • Professional brushed finish with clear size etchings

Cons

  • Deep 150mm size may not fit in shallower refrigeration drawers
  • Steel can become hot to the touch during heated service
  • Not intended for direct flame or induction stovetop use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To integrate this container into your workflow, simply ensure your existing frames or prep stations are rated for 1/2 GN size pans with a depth of at least 150mm.

  • Compatibility: The universal design allows this unit to slide into standard stainless steel rails, wire racks, and chafing dishes without adjustment.
  • Cleaning: While the container is dishwasher safe, avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads that may damage the brushed finish. For stubborn stuck-on food, soaking the pan in warm, soapy water is highly effective.
  • Storage: The containers are designed to be stackable, which helps preserve valuable shelf space in your kitchen storage area when not in use.
