Product Overview
Here’s a smart solution for one of the most common kitchen headaches: proper food storage. This pack of six Matfer Bourgeat FS341 containers is designed from the ground up for the demands of a professional environment. Forget brittle plastic that cracks or lids that don't quite fit.

Expert Review and Insights
In any professional kitchen, storage is about more than just putting things in boxes; it’s about workflow and waste reduction. These Matfer Bourgeat containers are a cut above standard plastics. Their flexibility is their standout feature – they don't go brittle in the freezer, and the quality of the seal is exceptionally reliable for liquids and sauces.
Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →
- Pros: The soft material and tight-fitting lids genuinely prevent cracks and costly spills.
- Cons: The pliable plastic can stain slightly with strong curries or tomato sauces.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Larder' in York, a busy city-centre delicatessen, was constantly replacing its rigid food containers which would crack in the freezer or when dropped during hectic lunch services. They needed a more durable solution to reduce replacement costs and food waste from poorly sealed lids.
"These soft modulus food storage boxes have been brilliant. We haven't had a single one crack since we bought them six months ago. The seals are fantastic – our soups and dressings stay completely secure, even when we're moving things around quickly. A small investment that has saved us a lot of hassle and money."
Robert Finch – Owner
The deli has cut its spending on replacement containers to zero and reports that the improved seals have reduced spoilage on high-value deli items by approximately 15%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash containers and lids thoroughly in warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Use a non-permanent marker on the designated space on the lid for easy date and content labelling.
- When empty, store them with the lids off or placed lightly on top to allow air circulation.
- Familiarise your staff with the Gastronorm sizing so they know where they fit in your kitchen line.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent staining, rinse the container immediately after using it with strong-coloured foods like tomato or curry sauces.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical scourers, as they can scratch the surface.
- When microwaving, rest the lid loosely on top rather than sealing it tight to allow steam to escape.
- Regularly check the inner seal of the lid for any damage or food residue to ensure it remains airtight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these containers stackable?
A: Yes, the Matfer Bourgeat FS341 container is designed to be stackable, both with and without lids, helping you save valuable fridge and shelf space.
Q: What exactly does 1/6 GN mean?
A: It refers to a standard 'Gastronorm' size used across the catering industry. A 1/6 GN container measures 176mm x 162mm, ensuring it fits perfectly in compatible service counters and storage units.
Q: Are the lids included with the containers?
A: Yes, this product is sold as a pack of six containers, and each one comes complete with its own matching hermetically sealed lid.
Q: Can I put hot liquids like soup directly into them?
A: They are microwave-safe, but for best results and to ensure a perfect seal, we recommend letting boiling liquids cool for a few minutes before sealing the lid tightly.
Q: What does 'soft modulus' mean?
A: It describes the flexible, less rigid nature of the plastic. This makes the container highly resistant to cracking, shattering, or becoming brittle, especially when frozen or dropped.
Q: Is the plastic BPA-free?
A: Yes, the polypropylene material used is naturally free from BPA, making it a safe and reliable choice for all types of professional food storage.
Q: How accurate are the graded markings on the side?
A: The markings are designed to give a quick visual guide for portioning and are excellent for ensuring consistency in recipes, though for precise measurements, weighing is always recommended.
Q: Are they difficult to clean if stained?
A: For stubborn stains from foods like turmeric or tomato, a paste of baking soda and water left to sit for a while before washing can help lift the discolouration.

You see 'hermetically sealed' mentioned, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Essentially, it means the lid creates a completely airtight seal. Think of it like a submarine hatch for your food – it’s designed to keep what's inside in, and what's outside out. Air and moisture are the biggest enemies of freshness, causing food to spoil, lose its texture, and go stale.
A proper hermetic seal, like the one on this Matfer Bourgeat FS341 container, locks out that damaging air. This dramatically extends the shelf life of your ingredients, preserving their flavour, colour, and nutritional value for longer. It also means no cross-contamination of smells in your fridge – the aroma of your garlic butter won't be mingling with your cheesecake. It’s a simple feature that directly translates into less food waste and better quality food for your customers.
