Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Bristol Bakehouse, a thriving artisan bakery in Bristol, was struggling with inefficient storage. They were using a mix of round, flimsy containers that wasted shelf space and often cracked, leading to ingredient spoilage and messy stockrooms.
"We were constantly fighting for space and losing track of stock. Switching to the Cambro Camsquares organised our dry store and walk-in overnight. We can see exactly what we have, the team can grab things easily, and they just don't break. It’s made our whole prep process smoother."
Samuel Jones – Owner
Since standardising with Cambro, The Bristol Bakehouse has reduced its weekly dry goods wastage by nearly 15% and cut stock-take time in half.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Use a non-permanent marker on the outside for easy date labelling and content identification.
- Ensure you pair it with the correct-sized Cambro Camsquare lid for a secure fit.
- Plan your shelf space – the square shape allows for tight, efficient packing with no wasted gaps.
Keeping It Going
- The container is dishwasher safe for quick and easy sanitation.
- To avoid scratching the clear surface, never use abrasive scourers or steel wool.
- When hand-drying or air-drying, stand it upside down to allow water to escape through the drain holes in the handles.
- Regularly check for any deep scratches or chips, as this can compromise food safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the lid included with this container?
A: Lids for Cambro Camsquares are typically sold separately to allow you to choose the type of seal you need. Please check the product options or search for the matching lid.
Q: Can I put this container in the freezer?
A: Yes, it's rated for temperatures down to -40°C, making it perfectly safe for freezer use.
Q: What does 'NSF Listed' actually mean?
A: It means the product has been certified by NSF International to meet strict standards for public health protection, meaning it is designed and constructed in a way that promotes food safety.
Q: Will it stain if I store tomato sauce or curry in it?
A: The polycarbonate material is highly resistant to food acids and oils, so it will not stain or retain odours like typical consumer-grade plastic containers.
Q: Why is a square container better than a round one?
A: Square containers stack neatly with no wasted space in between, allowing you to store significantly more on a shelf or in a fridge compared to round containers of a similar volume.
Q: Are the measurement markings printed on or moulded in?
A: The graduations are moulded into the container, so they won't rub off over time with washing and use.
Q: Can I pour hot soup directly into it?
A: Yes, this container can withstand temperatures up to 99°C, so you can safely pour hot liquids like soups or sauces into it for cooling and storage.
Q: How do the handles help with washing?
A: The handles have small drain holes, which prevent water from pooling inside them when the container is run through a dishwasher or left to air-dry upside down.
The Cambro Commitment: An Investment in Kitchen Workflow
For over 70 years, Cambro has been an unwavering presence in professional kitchens worldwide, and it's no accident. Buying a Cambro food storage bin for professional kitchens is about more than just getting a container; it's an investment in a system built on durability, safety, and efficiency. This isn't a disposable item you'll replace next year. The virtually unbreakable polycarbonate build means fewer replacements and less plastic waste over time. More importantly, it brings a level of standardisation and organisation that directly impacts your bottom line. Better stock rotation means less food spoilage. Clear visibility and easy-to-read markings mean faster prep times. A system that's easy to clean and handle reduces labour costs and improves staff morale. This single container is a building block for a safer, smarter, and more profitable kitchen.
Explore more from CambroWhy Polycarbonate Is a Kitchen's Best Friend
You see 'polycarbonate' and probably think 'strong plastic', but it's so much more than that in a professional kitchen. Think of it like the difference between a normal drinking glass and toughened safety glass. Your standard consumer food tubs are often made from polypropylene; they're fine for leftovers, but they'll stain bright red from bolognese, hold onto the smell of curry for weeks, and can go brittle in the freezer. The Cambro FreshPro Camsquare 20.8L food storage container uses a high-grade polycarbonate. This means you can store a batch of tomato sauce one day and vanilla pastry cream the next, with no colour or flavour 'ghosting' after a wash. It’s this non-porous, chemically-resistant quality that ensures your food's integrity and quality, day in, day out.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for mise en place, storing bulk prepped veg, sauces, or marinating meats safely and efficiently.
- Bakeries & Pâtisseries: Perfect for holding large batches of dough, flour, sugar, or fondant, keeping them fresh and contaminant-free.
- Mobile & Event Caterers: The durable build and secure handling make it ideal for transporting ingredients from base to venue without spills.
