Expert Review and Insights
In a busy kitchen, the little things make a huge difference. These Matfer Bourgeat containers aren't just boxes; they're proper workhorses. The flexible material is a standout – they don't get brittle and crack like cheaper options after a few cycles in the dishwasher. The seal is tight, and the GN sizing means they just *fit* everywhere. A genuinely smart investment for any chef.

- Firm Seal: That brilliant hermetic seal can be quite tight to open.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Larder', a popular delicatessen in Bristol, were struggling with a mishmash of flimsy containers that would crack in the cold and stain easily, leading to unnecessary food waste.
"We were constantly throwing away containers and, worse, ingredients. These Matfer Bourgeat boxes are on another level. The seals are fantastic, and they've survived drops that would have shattered our old ones. It's a small change that's made a big difference to our prep and our bottom line."
Robert Miller – Owner
The switch resulted in zero container breakages in the first three months and a noticeable reduction in spoilage of fresh-cut ingredients.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Prep
- Wash containers and lids thoroughly in warm, soapy water before first use.
- Ensure both the container rim and the lid are completely dry before sealing for the best fit.
- When stacking, place heavier filled containers at the bottom to maintain stability in the fridge or on shelves.
Keeping It Pristine
- These containers are commercial dishwasher safe; place them on the top rack to prolong their life.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, which can scratch the surface and affect clarity.
- To prevent staining from strong foods like curry or tomato sauces, rinse the container immediately after use.
- Periodically check lids for any damage to ensure the hermetic seal remains effective.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these containers dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, they are designed to be commercial dishwasher safe. For best results and a longer lifespan, we recommend placing them on the top rack.
Q: What does '1/6GN' mean?
A: It refers to a standard Gastronorm size (176 x 162mm). This ensures it fits perfectly in compatible commercial fridges, service counters, and storage racks.
Q: Can I use these in the microwave with the lid on?
A: For safety, it's always best practice to loosen the lid or remove it entirely before microwaving. This allows steam to escape and prevents pressure build-up.
Q: Are the lids included with the containers?
A: Yes, absolutely. This product is a complete set of six 1-litre containers, and each one comes with its own corresponding hermetically sealed lid.
Q: What is 'soft modulus' plastic?
A: It’s a specific type of flexible polypropylene that is more resistant to cracking and impact than standard hard plastic, making it far more durable in a demanding kitchen environment.
Q: Can I stack these containers when they are full?
A: Yes, they are designed with stacking in mind. They sit securely on top of each other to help you make the most of your valuable fridge and shelf space.
Q: Will the measurement markings wash off over time?
A: No, the graded measurement markings are moulded directly into the container's plastic, so they won't fade, peel, or wash off, even after repeated cleaning.
Q: Are the containers completely transparent?
A: Yes, they are made from a high-clarity, clear polypropylene that allows for easy and immediate identification of what's stored inside.
The Matfer Bourgeat Standard: Built for a Chef's Reality

Investing in their professional kitchen food storage box range goes beyond simple organisation—it's an investment in operational consistency and long-term reliability. Cheaper containers inevitably fail, leading to wasted food, messy fridges, and the constant overhead of buying replacements. These FS340 containers, however, are engineered for the daily grind. The resilient material, the dependable seal, and the strict adherence to universal GN standards mean less time worrying about your storage and more time focusing on your craft. This is equipment designed by people who truly understand that in a professional kitchen, every single detail counts towards a smoother, more profitable service.
Explore more from Matfer BourgeatWhat Does a Hermetic Seal Actually Do for Your Food?
Think of it like the perfect seal on a high-quality jam jar, but for your professional ingredients. A hermetic seal isn't just about stopping spills; it creates a highly effective airtight barrier. This stops air and ambient moisture from getting in, which are the main culprits behind food drying out, going stale, or losing its vibrant flavour and aroma. It’s the difference between your prepped herbs staying bright green for days versus wilting overnight. For your business, that means less waste, better quality product, and ultimately, happier customers.
