Product Information
Full details
The Argon Tableware 1/3 Gastronorm Container is a professional-grade 5.5-litre stainless steel pan designed for high-volume commercial kitchens, catering services, and food prep environments. It provides exceptional durability and universal compatibility with standard GN framing systems, making it an ideal choice for chefs needing reliable hot and cold food storage. While the rugged construction is built for heavy-duty performance, users should note that as a standard gastronorm pan, it does not include a lid, which may need to be sourced separately for long-term storage or transport.

FAQs
Does this container include a lid?
No, this specific product listing is for the container only. Lids are typically sold separately.
Is this 1/3 GN pan compatible with all food warmers?
Yes, as long as your food warmer or steam table accepts standard 1/3 GN sized containers.
Can this be used in the freezer?
Yes, the high-quality stainless steel construction is suitable for both cold storage and freezer environments.
What is the capacity of this container?
This container has a capacity of 5.5 litres.
Is the stainless steel food grade?
Yes, the 201 stainless steel used is designed for food-safe commercial catering applications.
How deep is the pan?
This model is 150mm deep, which is the standard depth for a 1/3 GN pan of this volume.
Troubleshooting
Container is stuck inside another gastronorm pan
Avoid nesting pans too tightly. If stuck, try gently running warm water over the outer pan to cause slight thermal expansion to help release the inner pan.
Surface spots appearing after dishwasher cycle
Ensure your dishwasher rinse aid is topped up and try to dry the container immediately after the cycle ends to prevent mineral deposits from setting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable 201 stainless steel design for commercial longevity
- Universal 1/3 GN sizing ensures compatibility with existing hardware
- Large 5.5L capacity is ideal for bulk prep
- Easy to clean and fully dishwasher safe
- Suitable for both hot and cold food applications
Cons
- Lid not included with the container
- Brushed metal finish can show fingerprints if not handled properly
- Standard sizing does not allow for non-standard custom rack configurations
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply slide the container into any 1/3 gastronorm-compatible track or frame. When handling, ensure the pan is properly nested within the supporting rack to maintain air circulation in cooling units. For care and maintenance, wash the container thoroughly in a commercial dishwasher. While the 201 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to dry the pan completely after washing to prevent water spotting. Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scrubbers, which can scratch the brushed finish, and instead rely on standard kitchen detergent and non-scratch pads.
