FAQs
Is this container safe for oven use?
Yes, as it is made from 201 stainless steel, it is suitable for high-temperature applications, though it is primarily designed for prep, storage, and steam table use.
Does this container come with a lid?
No, the container is sold as a standalone unit. Universal GN 1/3 lids are compatible with this model.
Can I use this for deep freezing?
Yes, stainless steel is resilient and can be used in cold storage and freezer applications.
What is the exact depth of this pan?
This model features a 100mm depth.
Is the material magnetic?
201 stainless steel contains properties that may show slight magnetic attraction, which is normal for this grade of alloy.
Can I stack multiple containers?
Yes, these containers are designed to be stackable when empty to save space in the kitchen.
Troubleshooting
Container is stuck inside a GN frame
Avoid wedging the containers tightly. If stuck, apply a gentle tap to the side of the frame or use a dull spatula to create airflow between the two surfaces.
Visible water spotting or streaks
This is common with hard water. Wipe the exterior with a dry microfibre cloth immediately after the dishwasher cycle to maintain the brushed finish.
Surface discoloration
Check if harsh chemicals or high-chloride cleaners are being used in your dishwasher. Switch to a milder detergent and ensure the container is thoroughly rinsed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Argon Tableware Gastronorm container is straightforward: it is designed to drop directly into any standard 1/3 size gastronorm rail or rack system. No specialized installation is required. For compatibility, ensure your existing equipment is configured for GN 1/3 containers to guarantee a flush fit. To maintain the life of the product, always rinse off acidic food residues immediately after use. While the container is dishwasher safe, standard commercial cleaning agents are perfectly acceptable. Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scourers, as these can scratch the brushed finish. If the container becomes stained from long-term heavy use, a soak in a solution of warm water and professional-grade stainless steel cleaner will restore its original appearance.
