Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour Lights, a popular seafood restaurant in Falmouth, was constantly dealing with brittle storage bins that would crack in the freezer and absorb food odours.
"We were throwing out cracked containers every month, which was just money down the drain. We switched to these Cambro boxes and the difference is incredible. They’re rock solid, they don't hold on to that fish smell after washing, and they stack so neatly it's given us back a whole shelf in the walk-in."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
By upgrading to the Cambro FE734, the kitchen has eliminated replacement costs and reports that their prep station is now 25% faster to restock during busy periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the container a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- If you need a seal, make sure you have the correct, compatible Cambro lid (sold separately).
- Use food-safe labels or a non-permanent marker on the outside to keep track of contents and use-by dates.
- When stacking, always place them on a flat, stable surface to keep them secure.
Keeping It Going
- For the most hygienic clean, pop it in your commercial dishwasher after each use.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can dull the clear surface over time.
- Let the container and lid air dry completely before stacking them for storage to prevent moisture traps.
- Give it a quick visual check for damage every now and then – though with Camwear, you'll be looking for a long time!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this container fully airtight?
A: On its own, no. However, when paired with the correct, corresponding Cambro lid (which is sold separately), it provides a very secure fit that protects contents effectively.
Q: Can I put hot food directly into it?
A: Yes, absolutely. This container is rated to withstand temperatures up to 99°C, so it's perfectly safe for holding hot soups, sauces, and other cooked foods.
Q: What exactly is Camwear®?
A: Camwear® is Cambro's brand name for its premium, high-performance polycarbonate material. It's famous in the industry for its incredible durability and resistance to stains and odours.
Q: Is the polycarbonate material BPA-free?
A: Yes, all Cambro Camwear® food storage products are BPA-free, making them completely safe for all commercial food preparation and storage.
Q: Will it stain if I store something like a tomato sauce in it?
A: No, it's highly unlikely. A key benefit of this polycarbonate material is its non-porous surface, which is designed to resist stains from acidic foods like tomatoes or strong spices like turmeric.
Q: Can I use this for sous vide cooking?
A: It's a very popular choice for it! Its large size and high-temperature resistance make it an excellent, cost-effective container for holding a water bath for an immersion circulator.
Q: Are there measurement markings on the side of the box?
A: This particular model (FE734) does not feature graduated measurement markings. For precise volumes, you would need to measure ingredients separately before adding them.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: It's completely safe for use in a commercial dishwasher. You can also wash it by hand with standard washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or sponge.

It's engineered to endure the relentless cycle of prep, storage, and high-temperature washing, day after day, without cracking, warping, or holding onto yesterday's flavours.

It’s the quiet confidence that comes from knowing your most fundamental kit won't let you down when service gets chaotic.
Explore more from CambroMore Than Just Plastic: The Power of Polycarbonate
Ever wondered what makes a **polycarbonate food storage container** so much better than your average plastic tub from the supermarket? Think of it like the difference between regular glass and the safety glass in a car windscreen. Polycarbonate is a high-performance polymer engineered to be incredibly strong and impact-resistant. This means it won’t shatter if dropped, crack under the extreme cold of a freezer, or warp in a hot commercial dishwasher. Its non-porous surface is also the secret to why it brilliantly resists stubborn stains and odours, ensuring yesterday's bolognese doesn't haunt tomorrow's bread dough.
