FAQs
Is this container suitable for freezing food?
Yes, the stainless steel construction is durable enough for cold storage and freezer environments.
Does it come with a lid?
No, the lid is sold separately. You will need to source a standard 1/2 gastronorm lid.
What is the exact depth of this container?
This model has a depth of 150mm.
Can I use this in an oven?
Yes, stainless steel gastronorm containers are generally oven-safe, but always check your oven's specific heat limits.
Is the material magnetic?
The stainless steel used in this container is highly durable and corrosion-resistant, though magnetism may vary based on the specific grade used for catering standards.
How do I remove burnt-on food residue?
Soak the container in warm, soapy water and use a non-abrasive plastic scraper or nylon brush to remove residue.
Troubleshooting
Containers are stuck when nested together
Do not force them apart. Apply a small amount of warm water or air pressure between the rims to break the vacuum seal.
Surface spots appear after dishwasher cycle
Ensure the water has adequate salt levels or use a rinse aid; dry immediately with a clean cloth to prevent mineral deposits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This container is designed for immediate use right out of the box. Simply ensure it is cleaned according to your commercial sanitation protocols before its first use. Because it follows the universal 1/2 GN footprint, it is compatible with all standard gastronorm frames and rail systems. To maintain the brushed metal finish, avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads that could scratch the surface. While the container is dishwasher safe, ensure that it is fully dried before nesting or stacking to prevent water spots. If you intend to use this for food transport, ensure you purchase the matching 1/2 GN size lid to prevent spills and contamination.
