Product Information
Full details
The Argon Tableware 5250ml Gastronorm Container is an essential tool for professional chefs and home cooks who prioritize efficiency and organization in their kitchen operations. Engineered from durable 0.7mm 201 stainless steel, this 1/4 size container offers a robust 5.25-litre capacity, making it perfect for storing, prepping, or serving ingredients in high-volume environments; however, users should note that as a standard stainless steel pan, it is not transparent, meaning contents are not immediately visible without removing the lid.

FAQs
Is this container microwave safe?
No, this is made of stainless steel and should never be used in a microwave.
Does it come with a lid?
The container does not include a lid; lids must be purchased separately.
What does 1/4 GN size mean?
It refers to the standardized dimension of kitchen equipment, meaning it occupies one-fourth of a standard full-size gastronorm tray footprint.
Can I put this in the freezer?
Yes, the 201 stainless steel is rated for cold storage applications.
Will it rust?
It is built from high-quality corrosion-resistant stainless steel, which is rust-resistant when cleaned and maintained properly.
Troubleshooting
Container stuck when stacked with others
Avoid pressing pans tightly together when wet; ensure each unit is fully dry before nesting to prevent a vacuum seal.
Discoloration or spots on the surface
This is often due to mineral deposits from hard water; soak in a vinegar-water solution to restore the finish.

- Storage: When not in use, these containers are designed to be stackable, though you should ensure they are completely dry before nesting to prevent moisture buildup between the layers.
