Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this container freezer-safe?

Yes, the 201 stainless steel material is safe for freezer storage, though be aware that food may expand upon freezing.

Can I use this in an oven?

This container is designed for food storage and heating in steam tables; check your oven specifications, but it is generally intended for catering service rather than baking.

Does it come with a lid?

Please verify your specific order, but this product is commonly paired with compatible lids for secure storage.

Will this rust over time?

The 201 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant. However, it should not be left soaking in harsh chemicals or standing in salty water for extended periods without cleaning.

What is the exact depth of this container?

This model is 100mm deep, which is the standard depth for many gastronorm catering applications.

Troubleshooting

Container is stuck inside another container.

Apply a small amount of warm water and mild detergent around the edges to break the air seal, then gently pull them apart.

Surface spots appear after washing.

These are often mineral deposits from hard water; wipe the container with a mixture of water and white vinegar to restore the finish.

Pros and Cons

Standardized dimensions allow for easy stacking and integration with existing equipment.
Durable stainless steel material ensures long-term reliability.
Easy to clean and maintain in high-volume settings.
Versatile for both high-temperature steam tables and low-temperature cold storage.
Professional brushed metal finish hides fingerprints and surface marks.

Cons

Requires careful handling to avoid denting the edges if dropped on hard floors.
Metal construction can become hot to the touch when used in steam tables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Argon Tableware container is straightforward as it utilizes industry-standard GN 1/2 sizing. Simply ensure your prep station or chafing dish frame is designed for 1/2 size gastronorm inserts.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: While the container is dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive steel wool pads that may scratch the brushed finish. Use a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
Storage: Ensure containers are completely dry before stacking for extended periods to prevent water spotting.
Handling: While sturdy, avoid dropping the container on its corners to ensure the rim remains perfectly flush with your frame, preventing heat loss or cold air gaps.
