Product Overview
Here we have the ultimate solution for bringing a bit of calm and order to the organised chaos of a professional kitchen. This Hygiplas FZ098 Commercial GN Container Set is far more than just a few plastic boxes; it's a complete food storage and organisation system. This pack of four 1/6 GN polyprop gastronorm containers with lids is designed from the ground up to make your food prep safer, faster, and more efficient, helping you keep track of everything from prepped veg to sauces and garnishes.
Specifically created for bustling cafés, restaurants, delis, and catering operations, this set tackles one of the biggest challenges in food service: cross-contamination. Thanks to the simple but brilliant colour-coded clip system, you can instantly assign containers for specific food groups, aligning perfectly with HACCP principles. The durable, clear polypropylene construction means you can see what's inside at a glance, saving precious seconds during a busy service, while the airtight lids lock in freshness and prevent spills.
Built to withstand the rigours of daily commercial use, these containers are happy in the freezer, fridge, and dishwasher, offering complete versatility. They are stackable, stain-resistant, and tough enough to handle the bumps and knocks of a working kitchen. If you're looking to upgrade your food storage from a jumble of mismatched tubs to a professional, compliant, and streamlined system, this Hygiplas set is the perfect place to start.

Expert Review and Insights
The Hygiplas container set is a real workhorse. It’s not flashy, but it nails the fundamentals of good kitchen practice. The clip system is a simple, effective tool for implementing HACCP standards without complex training, making it invaluable for kitchens with a high staff turnover. It’s a practical investment in food safety and efficiency.

- Practical Safety: The clip system is a foolproof way to help staff manage allergens.
- Heat Limitation: It's purely for storage; don't use it in a hot holding bain-marie.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Salad Days', a popular lunch spot in Chester, were struggling with their walk-in fridge organisation. Mismatched containers and poor labelling led to food waste and slower prep times during the hectic lunch rush. They invested in the Hygiplas GN container sets to standardise their entire storage system.
"The difference was immediate. The clear containers and colour clips mean everyone knows exactly where everything is. Our fridge is tidy, our prep is faster, and we're throwing away far less produce. It’s such a simple change but it has completely streamlined our back-of-house operation."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The new system helped them reduce daily food prep waste by an estimated 20% and cut down search time for ingredients during service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give all containers and lids a thorough wash in hot, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
- Decide on your colour-coding system (e.g., red for raw meat, green for veg) and brief your team.
- The clips snap on easily to the edge of the container or the lid for clear identification.
- For best results, use a permanent marker on the textured panel for dates and contents, which can be wiped clean.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent warping, place them on the top rack of your commercial dishwasher if possible.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the surface and make it harder to clean.
- Regularly check the lids and container edges for any cracks or damage that could compromise the airtight seal.
- Stack them neatly when dry to save space and prevent them from getting damaged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does '1/6 GN' actually mean?
A: It refers to a standard European size for kitchen containers. A 1/6 GN container measures 176 x 162mm and is one-sixth the size of a full 1/1 GN pan, making it ideal for smaller ingredients, sauces, or garnishes.
Q: How many containers and lids come in this pack?
A: This is sold as a pack of four. You receive four 2.2L containers, four compatible airtight lids, and four full sets of the seven HACCP colour-coded clips.
Q: Can I put hot soup directly into these containers?
A: These containers are rated for use up to 70°C. We'd recommend letting boiling liquids cool slightly before storing to ensure the container's longevity and prevent any risk of warping.
Q: Are the containers completely stain-proof?
A: The polypropylene material is highly stain-resistant, particularly against common culprits like tomato sauces or curries. For best results, wash them as soon as possible after use.
Q: What exactly are the colour clips for?
A: They are a tool for HACCP food safety management. You assign a colour to a food type (e.g., red for raw meat, green for vegetables) to prevent cross-contamination in your kitchen.
Q: Do these containers stack when the lids are on?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable with the lids on, which is a huge space-saver in cold storage and prep areas.
Q: Are they safe to use in a microwave?
A: No, these polypropylene containers are not recommended for microwave use. They are designed for cold and warm storage, not for reheating.
Q: Can I buy extra clips if I lose some?
A: Yes, replacement colour clip sets are generally available separately, allowing you to maintain your food safety system easily.

Explore more from HygiplasHow A Simple Clip System Prevents Costly Kitchen Errors
The included colour-coded clips might seem like a small detail, but they're the key to unlocking a safer, more compliant kitchen. They are designed to work with HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), which is the industry standard for managing food safety. In simple terms, HACCP is about identifying what could go wrong and stopping it before it does.
Think of the clips as a traffic light system for your food. You can decide that red is always for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for salad and fruit, and yellow for cooked meats. Once this system is in place, anyone in your kitchen—from the head chef to the newest kitchen porter—can see at a glance what's in a container without even reading a label. This simple visual cue drastically reduces the risk of using a board that prepped raw chicken to chop salad, a mistake that could have serious consequences for your customers and your reputation.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants: Ideal for organising mise en place in walk-in fridges and keeping prep stations tidy and efficient.
