  • Heat Limitation: Not suitable for ovens or holding food above 70°C.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Bristol was struggling with kitchen organisation during busy weekend services. Their mix-and-match containers made finding ingredients a chore and  raised concerns about cross-contamination between their seafood and  other dishes.

"We needed a system that was simple, visual, and  that everyone could stick to. The Hygiplas sets with the colour clips were the perfect fit. The team picked it up instantly, and  our prep stations have never been tidier or safer. It just makes the whole process smoother."

Sarah Jenkins – Head Chef

After implementing the system, the bistro reduced its ingredient search time significantly, contributing to a 10% faster ticket time during peak hours and  boosting staff confidence in their food handling procedures.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give all containers and  lids a thorough wash in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
  • Decide on your colour-coding system based on HACCP guidelines (e.g., red for raw meat, green for veg) and  communicate it to your team.
  • Simply snap the correct coloured clip onto the container and  lid – they are designed to fit securely.
  • For best practice, consider using a label to note the contents and  a 'use-by' date.

Keeping It Going

  • These containers are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, but avoid high-temperature 'pot wash' cycles to prolong their life.
  • To prevent stubborn stains from foods like tomato or curry, rinse the container immediately after use.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the polypropylene and  make it harder to clean.
  • Regularly check that the lids still form an airtight seal to ensure maximum freshness.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Containers

Not sure which GN container is right for you? It can be a minefield, but getting it right makes a world of difference. Here are a few pointers to help you choose wisely for your kitchen.

Material Matters

Polypropylene (like this one) is brilliant for cold storage – it's lightweight, affordable, and  microwave/freezer safe. For oven use or hot holding on the line, you'll need to look at stainless steel.

Size and  Depth

Gastronorm sizes are standard (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, etc.), so they fit universally in compatible equipment. Think about what you're storing. Deeper containers (like this 150mm one) are great for liquids or bulk items, while shallower ones are better for portioned ingredients.

Lid Logic

Not all lids are created equal. An airtight seal, like the one on this Hygiplas model, is crucial for preserving freshness and  preventing spills. Some lids are just for covering, while others are designed for a tight fit.

Temperature Range

Always check the temperature range. A container that can go from the freezer to the microwave offers maximum versatility. Make sure it suits your workflow – don't put a container rated to 70°C in a 200°C oven!

Stackability and  Storage

In a busy kitchen, space is gold. Look for a stackable 1/3 size food storage container that nests neatly when empty and  stacks securely with lids on when full. It's a simple feature that saves a huge amount of shelf and  fridge space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many containers come in one pack?

A: This is sold as a pack of four, which includes four 1/3 GN containers, four matching airtight lids, and  four sets of the seven HACCP colour clips.

Q: Are the lids airtight?

A: Yes, the lids are designed to provide an airtight seal, which helps to keep food fresher for longer and  prevents leaks and  spills.

Q: What do the different colour clips mean?

A: The colours are for a HACCP food safety system. While you can create your own, a common UK standard is: White for bakery/dairy, Green for fruit/salad, Blue for raw fish, Yellow for cooked meats, Brown for root vegetables, Red for raw meat, and  Purple for allergens.

Q: Are these containers stackable?

A: Yes, they are designed to be a stackable 1/3 size food storage container, both with and  without lids, to help you save valuable storage space.

Q: Can I use these in the freezer?

A: Absolutely. They are safe for use in freezers down to -40°C, making them ideal for batch prepping and  long-term storage.

Q: Are they dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, both the containers and  lids are commercial dishwasher safe, which makes for quick and  hygienic cleaning.

Q: Can I put these in the microwave?

A: Yes, polypropylene is generally microwave-safe for reheating. However, as they are rated to 70°C, they are not suitable for high-power cooking, only for gentle warming.

Q: What are the exact external dimensions?

A: The dimensions for each container are 150mm in height, 176mm in width, and  325mm in depth, conforming to the standard 1/3 GN size.

How Colour Coding Clips Keep Your Kitchen Safer

Ever wondered what the little coloured clips are really for? They're the heart of a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and  Critical Control Points) food safety system, made simple. Think of it like a traffic light system for your ingredients, but with more colours! By assigning a specific colour to a food group – for example, red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for salads and  fruit – you create an instant, visual cue for your entire team.

This simple habit massively reduces the risk of dangerous bacteria from raw meat accidentally coming into contact with ready-to-eat foods. It's not just about being tidy; it's a crucial step in preventing food poisoning, managing allergens correctly, and  showing food safety inspectors that you run a tight ship. It makes training new staff easier and  gives everyone the confidence that they're handling food safely.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: Ideal for prepping ingredients and  storing them safely in walk-in fridges, keeping different food groups separate.
  • Cafés & Sandwich Bars: Perfect for holding pre-sliced salad, meats, and  fillings in refrigerated counters, ensuring freshness and  easy identification.
  • Catering Companies: A must-have for transporting prepped food to events, with secure lids and  a stackable design for easy transport.
  • School & Care Home Canteens: Helps manage allergens and  dietary requirements effectively with a clear, visual colour-coding system for all staff to follow.
