Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →
- Practicality King: The all-in-one pack with colour-coded clips is incredibly useful for busy kitchens.
- Initial Fit: The airtight lids can be a bit stiff to seal when brand new.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Boathouse Bistro in Windermere was struggling with messy, inefficient prep storage and keeping track of food allergens. Their mix-and-match containers were causing confusion during busy services and making HACCP checks a headache.
"We were constantly searching for lids and trying to remember what was what. This Hygiplas GN 1/4 container set streamlined our entire cold prep. The colour clips mean everyone knows exactly what's inside, from the new apprentice to the head chef."
David Chen – Head Chef
The kitchen now passes health inspections with flying colours and has cut daily prep time by an estimated 15%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the containers and lids a good wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Decide on your colour code! Assign each clip colour to a specific food group based on your kitchen's HACCP plan.
- Simply snap the chosen coloured clip onto the designated tab on both the container and the lid for easy pairing.
- For best practice, use a wipeable food label or non-permanent marker to add dates and contents.
Keeping It Going
- These are fully dishwasher safe, so pop them in for a hygienic clean after use.
- To keep them looking crystal clear, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners.
- Make sure containers and lids are completely dry before stacking them away to prevent any musty smells.
- Check the lids every now and then to ensure they still provide a snug, airtight fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these containers suitable for microwave use?
A: No, these polypropylene containers are not designed for use in a microwave. They are for storage in ambient, refrigerated, or frozen conditions.
Q: What does 'GN' stand for?
A: GN stands for Gastronorm, which is a European standard for kitchenware container sizes. This ensures they fit perfectly in universal racks, counters, and appliances like bain maries.
Q: Are the lids truly airtight?
A: Yes, the lids are designed to create a secure, airtight seal to maximise the freshness of your food and prevent spills during transport.
Q: What are the seven colours included for the clips?
A: Each of the four sets includes clips in brown, yellow, red, green, purple, blue, and white, allowing you to fully align with standard HACCP practices for food separation.
Q: Can I write on the containers?
A: Absolutely. You can use a non-permanent or erasable marker to label contents and dates. The stain-resistant material means markings should wash off easily.
Q: How much liquid can a 3.7 litre gastronorm food container hold?
A: Each 3.7 litre gastronorm food container has a capacity of 3.7 litres, making it ideal for holding a good quantity of soups, sauces, or marinated items.
Q: Are they difficult to stack?
A: Not at all. They are designed with a standard modular shape for stable and space-saving stacking in fridges, freezers, or on dry storage shelves.
Q: Are the containers brittle when frozen?
A: No, the polypropylene material is rated to -40°C, meaning it stays durable and resists cracking even at deep-freeze temperatures.

Ever wondered what the big deal is with those little coloured clips? They're the key to making HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) – the industry standard for food safety – incredibly simple. Think of it like a traffic light system for your ingredients. You can decide that red is always for raw meat, green is for fresh vegetables, and blue is for fish. It’s a simple visual cue that everyone in the kitchen, from the head chef to the kitchen porter, understands instantly, no matter how busy or noisy it gets. This system doesn't just organise your fridge; it builds a powerful, non-verbal communication network that drastically reduces the risk of cross-contamination. It's one of the simplest, most effective upgrades you can make to your kitchen's safety protocol.
