FAQs
Is this container safe for oven use?
Yes, the 201 stainless steel construction is suitable for both high-temperature cooking and cold storage environments.
Does this container come with a lid?
This specific SKU (3000ml) is supplied as the container body. Lids are typically sold separately to match the 1/6 GN size.
What does the 1/6 sizing mean?
1/6 GN is a standardized professional kitchen size, measuring approximately 176mm x 162mm, designed to be a fraction of the standard full-size GN pan.
Will this rust in a humid environment?
The material is corrosion-resistant; however, you should always dry the container thoroughly after dishwashing to keep the finish in top condition.
Can I use this in a microwave?
No, this is a metal container and should never be used in a microwave.
Troubleshooting
Container is stuck to another pan
Soak the stacked pans in warm, soapy water and gently rotate to break the vacuum seal.
Stubborn food stains on the surface
Use a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water to gently buff away residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this container follows the universal Gastronorm (GN) standard, setup is immediate—simply slide it into any compatible GN frame or prep station. For care, while the unit is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to avoid using abrasive scouring pads that could compromise the brushed metal finish. To maintain the container's appearance, rinse off acidic or salty food residues before placing them in the dishwasher. If the container becomes stuck within a stack, avoid prying it with sharp tools; instead, soak it in warm, soapy water to break the vacuum seal between units.
