Expert Review and  Insights

The team at Araven really understand the small details that make a big difference in a commercial kitchen. This isn't just a container; it's a tool for efficiency.

  • Pros: The integrated traceability label is fantastic for HACCP and  stock control.
  • Cons: Lids are sold separately, which you need to factor in.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Cornish Pasty Kitchen' in Truro were struggling with their old system of mixed containers and  masking tape labels, leading to confusion and  unnecessary food waste. They switched to the Araven GP571 containers to standardise their prep and  storage.

"The permanent labels have been a revelation. Our stock rotation is now foolproof, and  the kitchen team can see exactly what's what at a glance. It's saved us so much time and  hassle, especially during the busy summer season."

David Chen – Head Chef

By implementing these containers, they reduced their daily prep waste by an estimated 15% and  significantly sped up their service line.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the container a good wash with warm, soapy water.
  • Use a good quality, non-permanent whiteboard marker for the traceability label.
  • Ensure you have the correct compatible Araven lids if you need an airtight seal.
  • The integrated scale is a guide; for precise measurements, always use calibrated scales.

Keeping It Going

  • To clean the label, simply wipe it with a damp cloth before washing.
  • Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, which could scratch the plastic.
  • The container is dishwasher safe, but placing it on the top rack is always best practice.
  • Stack them neatly when dry to save space and  prevent damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Storage Container

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect food storage container for your needs.

Size and  Capacity

Consider what you'll be storing. Gastronorm (GN) sizes like this GN 1/6 are standard and  fit most commercial fridges and  counters. Plan for both small containers for sauces and  large ones for bulk prep.

Material Matters

ABS plastic, like in this Araven container, is durable, lightweight, and  versatile. Polycarbonate is even tougher and  clearer, while stainless steel is great for hot holding but can't be microwaved.

Lid Logic

Do you need an airtight seal to maximise freshness, or is a simple drop-on lid for dust protection enough? Check if lids are included or sold separately, and  if they offer a colour-coding system.

Temperature Tolerance

Always check the temperature range. If you need to go from freezer to microwave, ensure your container is rated for both to prevent cracking or warping.

Handy Features

Look for extras that make life easier, like integrated labels for HACCP, measurement marks for portioning, and  a stackable design to save precious shelf space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'GN 1/6' actually mean?

A: It refers to Gastronorm sizing, a European standard for kitchenware. A GN 1/6 container is one-sixth the size of a full GN 1/1 pan, making it a compact, standard size for prep counters and  displays.

A: Yes, this Araven food storage container is completely BPA free, ensuring food safety.

Q: Can I use this in the freezer and  the microwave?

A: Absolutely. It's designed to be safe in temperatures from -40°C all the way up to 90°C, so it's perfect for both.

Q: What kind of pen works best on the permanent label?

A: A standard non-permanent, dry-erase marker pen is recommended. It will write clearly and  wipe off easily with a damp cloth.

Q: Are these containers stackable?

A: Yes, they are designed to stack securely on top of each other to help you save valuable storage space.

Q: Do the lids come with the container?

A: No, the lids for the Araven GN range are sold separately. This allows you to choose the specific type of lid you need.

Q: Is it easy to read the measuring scale?

A: Yes, the scale is integrated into the container and  is clearly marked for quick and  easy portioning and  stock management.

What Customers Are Saying

"These are proper sturdy containers. They've been through our dishwasher dozens of times and  still look great. The permanent label is a fantastic feature."

You'll spend less on replacing cracked or stained containers and  save countless staff hours usually lost to inefficient labelling and  poor organisation.

Why the Permanent Traceability Label is a Kitchen Essential

Ever found a mystery container at the back of the fridge with a soggy, unreadable label? Araven's permanent traceability label solves that problem for good. Think of it as a built-in, reusable whiteboard on every single container. Using a non-permanent marker, you can jot down contents, dates, and  allergen info directly onto the plastic. When you're done, it simply wipes clean, ready for the next use. It never peels, fades, or falls off in the freezer or dishwasher. This simple but clever feature makes complying with food safety laws (like HACCP) effortless, ensures your team follows the 'First-In, First-Out' rule, and  drastically reduces the risk of errors in a busy kitchen.
