- Pro: The clarity of the plastic is fantastic for quick stock-takes in a busy fridge.
- Con: Remember the lid isn't microwavable, a small but important detail during service.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a popular pizzeria in Manchester, needed to streamline its prep station. They were struggling with inconsistent storage, leading to ingredient spoilage and slower pizza assembly during peak hours.
"We switched to these Sistema containers for all our toppings. The airtight seal is brilliant; our chopped peppers and onions stay crisp for so much longer. They stack perfectly in the under-counter fridge, and the team can see exactly what they're grabbing. It’s a small change that has made a huge difference to our workflow."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
By organising their prep, The Corner Slice reduced its daily vegetable waste by an estimated 15% and sped up pizza prep time during the lunch rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the container and lid a good wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- When sealing, press down on the centre of the lid to expel excess air before clicking the clips shut.
- Ensure the flexible seal inside the lid is seated correctly for a perfect, leak-proof fit.
Keeping It Going
- Always place the container on the top rack of the dishwasher to protect it from the heating element.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the plastic and damage the seal.
- To prevent staining from strong-coloured foods like tomato sauce or turmeric, rinse the container immediately after use.
- Periodically remove the rubber seal from the lid and clean it separately to prevent any build-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this container 100% leak-proof?
A: Yes, when the lid is sealed correctly with all four clips locked, the Sistema Klip It Plus is designed to be completely leak-proof, even with liquids like soups and sauces.
Q: Can the entire container go in the microwave?
A: No, only the clear base is microwave-safe. You must remove the lid before heating to prevent pressure build-up and damage to the seal.
Q: What does 'BPA & Phthalate Free' mean?
A: It means the plastic is made without these specific chemicals, ensuring it's completely food-safe and won't leach anything harmful into your ingredients.
Q: Will it stain with foods like curry or bolognese?
A: While the plastic is high quality, strong pigments can cause staining over time. We recommend rinsing the container immediately after use with such foods to minimise this.
Q: How durable are the blue locking clips?
A: The clips are a signature feature of Sistema products and are engineered for repeated use in demanding environments. They are robust and designed to last.
Q: Can I stack these containers when they are full?
A: Absolutely. The Klip It Plus range is specifically designed for modular stacking, helping you to create a tidy, space-saving storage system in your kitchen.
Q: What is the best way to clean the seal in the lid?
A: The flexible seal can be carefully removed from the lid for a thorough clean. Wash it in warm, soapy water and ensure it's completely dry before putting it back in place.
Q: Is 2.2 litres big enough for a commercial food storage container?
A: The 2.2L size is incredibly versatile. It's ideal for holding a good amount of prepped veg, a batch of sauce, or several portions of a dish, making it a great all-rounder in any professional kitchen.
The Sistema Standard: Engineered for Kitchen Efficiency
When you choose a Sistema product, you're investing in more than just a plastic box; you're buying into a philosophy of smart, practical design honed in New Zealand. Sistema has built its global reputation on creating products that solve real-world problems for busy people. For a commercial kitchen, this translates to tangible benefits. The focus on stackable, modular shapes isn't just for looks—it’s a strategic system to combat clutter and maximise every inch of expensive refrigerated real estate. The unwavering commitment to using virgin, BPA-free materials provides peace of mind regarding food safety and compliance. Over its lifespan, a reliable container like this reduces food waste through better preservation and minimises replacement costs, delivering long-term value that far outweighs its initial price tag.
Explore more from SistemaHow a Truly Airtight Seal Protects Your Food & Your Wallet
We often think 'airtight' just means it won't leak if knocked over. While that's true, the real benefit for a professional kitchen goes much deeper. Think of the air in your fridge as being full of moisture and odours. A proper airtight seal, like the one on this Sistema Klip It Plus container for commercial kitchen use, creates a protective barrier. It locks moisture *into* foods that need it (like cut vegetables), keeping them crisp, and locks it *out* of foods that don't (like biscuits or crackers), keeping them crunchy. It also stops strong smells, like onions or fish, from tainting delicate items like cheese or cream. It’s less like a lid and more like a personal vault for your ingredients, preserving their quality and drastically cutting down on what you have to throw away.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants: Perfect for marinating meats or storing prepped veg, keeping ingredients fresh and ready for service.
- Local Cafés & Delis: Use it to store fresh salad items, sandwich fillings, or baked goods, ensuring quality all day long.
- Mobile Caterers: The leak-proof seal makes this airtight catering storage container Sistema ideal for transporting sauces and prepped food securely.
- Farm Shops & Grocers: An excellent, durable option for storing and displaying loose-weigh items while maintaining freshness.
