- Con: Can be quite heavy when fully loaded with 120 eggs.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Sunrise Diner in Brighton was struggling with fridge space and losing money from eggs getting cracked in flimsy cardboard flats during busy breakfast services.
"We were losing a couple of dozen eggs a week to breakages in the fridge. These containers are solid. The trays protect everything perfectly, and they stack so neatly it's freed up an entire shelf. It's made stock-taking simpler, too."
Robert Green – Owner
By switching to the Araven containers, the diner has reduced egg wastage to virtually zero and improved kitchen organisation overnight.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the container, lid, and all trays in warm, soapy water.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before you start loading them with eggs.
- Give the lid's clips a test to make sure they snap on securely for a proper seal.
- Use a writable label or marker on the designated area to track dates for stock rotation.
Keeping It Going
- The entire unit is commercial dishwasher safe for a thorough, hygienic clean.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or steel wool, as this can scratch the plastic.
- Periodically inspect the silicone seal inside the lid for any wear or damage.
- When not in use, store away from direct sunlight or high-heat sources to prolong its life.

Explore more from AravenWhy a Perforated Base Makes for Better Eggs
You might not give the bottom of a container much thought, but the perforated base on these Araven egg trays is a clever bit of food science. Think of it like giving your eggs room to breathe. The small holes allow cool air from your refrigerator to circulate freely around every single egg, not just the ones on top. This consistent airflow helps maintain a steady, even temperature, which is key to slowing down spoilage and preserving their quality for longer. It prevents moisture from getting trapped at the bottom, ensuring every egg stays as fresh as the day it was stored.
