  • Pro: The built-in permanent label is a massive plus for HACCP tracking.
  • Con: Lids are sold separately, so remember to budget for them too.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Bistro in York was struggling to keep up with food labelling during their busy lunch service. Peeling paper labels were becoming a hygiene concern, and  identifying prepped items in a hurry was causing delays.

"We switched to the Araven containers and  the change was instant. The permanent labels are a dream – we just write, wash, and  reuse. Our fridges are more organised, and  the team can find what they need in seconds. It’s made our compliance checks completely stress-free."

Samuel Jones – Head Chef

The bistro reported a noticeable reduction in food spoilage and  estimates a 15% improvement in prep station efficiency since making the switch.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the container a thorough wash in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before its first use.
  • Use a compatible non-toxic, washable marker for the permanent label for best results.
  • Check that you have the correct GN-sized lid if you need an airtight seal (sold separately).
  • Plan your storage space – these are designed to stack neatly to maximise fridge or shelf space.

Keeping It Going

  • While dishwasher safe, avoid cycles exceeding 90°C to preserve the container's integrity over time.
  • To prevent scratching and  keep it crystal clear, avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring powders.
  • Ensure the container is completely dry before stacking for long-term storage to maintain hygiene.
  • Regularly check for any signs of wear and  tear, as you would with any professional kitchen equipment.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Storage

Feeling a bit lost in the world of kitchen containers? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect solution for your business.

Material Matters

Plastic like this ABS container is lightweight, versatile, and  great for visibility. Stainless steel is incredibly durable and  ideal for hot holding, but you can't see inside or use it in a microwave.

Get the Size Right

Gastronorm (GN) sizing is a European standard. A GN 1/6 container like this one is brilliant for smaller quantities of sauces, garnishes, or individual portions, fitting neatly into prep stations.

Consider the Lid

Do you need an airtight seal to maximise freshness and  prevent spills, or will a simple drop-on lid suffice for keeping dust out? Araven offers airtight lids for this range, which are essential for liquids and  long-term storage.

Check Your Temps

Always check the temperature range. If you need to go from freezer to microwave, you need a container like this one that can handle both extremes without cracking or warping.

Compliance is Key

Look for BPA-free and  food-safe certifications. Features that aid HACCP, like permanent labels or colour-coding systems, are a huge advantage for any professional and  compliant kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this food storage container really safe for the microwave?

A: Yes, it is perfectly safe for reheating food in the microwave up to a temperature of 90°C.

Q: What does GN 1/6 actually mean?

A: GN stands for Gastronorm, a standard European sizing system for kitchen containers. A 1/6 size is a sixth of a full GN 1/1 container, making it ideal for smaller portions and  ingredients.

Q: How does the permanent label work? Do I need a special pen?

A: You write on the textured panel with a non-toxic washable marker. The ink stays on during storage but washes off easily in a dishwasher, ready for reuse.

Q: Is the plastic genuinely BPA-free?

A: Absolutely. This Araven container is made from 100% BPA-free plastic, ensuring complete food safety.

Q: Can I stack these containers when they're full?

A: Yes, they are designed with reinforced rims and  a stable base for secure stacking, both with and  without lids.

Q: Does this container come with a lid?

A: Lids for this range are sold separately to allow you to choose the exact type you need for your operation.

Q: Why is a transparent container better?

A: Being transparent allows you and  your team to identify contents instantly without having to open the lid, which saves time and  helps with stock management.

Q: How tough is the plastic? Will it crack easily?

A: It's made from a durable ABS plastic designed for commercial use, so it's highly resistant to cracking and  chipping from everyday bumps and  drops.

No More Sticky Mess: How the Permanent Label Works

Ever spent ages scrubbing sticky residue off a container, only for the next paper label to peel off in the fridge? Araven's integrated permanent label puts an end to that. Think of it like a small, built-in whiteboard on every container. You simply use a special non-toxic dry-erase marker to note the contents, prep date, or use-by date directly onto the textured panel.

The markings stay clear and  legible in the fridge, freezer, or on the line. When you're done, the container goes into the dishwasher, and  the heat and  water wash the ink away completely, leaving a clean, fresh surface for next time. It’s a fantastically simple solution that makes food rotation and  HACCP traceability foolproof, saving your team time and  ensuring you're always inspection-ready without the faff of paper labels.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Cafés: Perfect for storing prepped sandwich fillings, salads, and  barista syrups neatly under the counter.
  • Restaurant Kitchens: An absolute must for organising your mise en place and  ensuring flawless HACCP records during service.
  • Deli Counters: Ideal for hygienically displaying and  storing olives, cheeses, and  prepared salads for customers.
  • Catering Companies: The stackable, durable design makes them brilliant for transporting prepped ingredients securely to events.
