How to choose the right Food Pots
- Match capacity to menu items, from small pots for sauces and dressings to larger bowls for soups, salads and main dishes.
- Choose material types such as clear recyclable plastic for visibility, kraft paper for a natural look, or bagasse and pulp for compostable service.
- Consider temperature requirements, selecting microwavable pots for hot foods and reheating, and cold-only options for chilled items.
- Check lid compatibility carefully so pots and bowls seal securely for delivery, grab-and-go displays and transport.
- Assess storage space and order bulk packs that suit your turnover without overloading your stockroom.
- Align pot style and finish with your brand, especially for front-of-house displays and premium takeaway offers.
Care and maintenance
- Store food pots and lids in a clean, dry area away from heat sources and direct sunlight to maintain strength and hygiene.
- Keep cartons sealed until needed to protect packaging from dust, moisture and kitchen contaminants.
- Avoid stacking heavy items on top of stored pots or bowls to prevent warping, cracking or deformation.
- Train staff to match the correct lid to each pot type to reduce leaks and wastage during service.
- Label prepped portions clearly with contents and dates to support HACCP procedures and accurate rotation.
- Dispose of used containers responsibly, separating recyclable and compostable items according to local waste streams.
