How to choose the right Storage Containers

• Start by matching gastronorm sizes to your existing fridges, counters and bain maries so containers fit neatly without wasting space.
• Consider depth and capacity based on portion sizes and turnover, choosing deeper pans for bulk storage and shallower pans for service lines.
• Select compatible lids for each GN size to allow secure stacking, safe transport and better protection of chilled or prepped foods.
• Think about your service style, using more, smaller containers for buffet and self-service, and larger pans for back-of-house bulk storage.
• Plan for food safety and allergen control by dedicating specific containers to particular ingredients or menu sections.
• Allow for future growth by standardising on a core set of GN sizes that can be easily added to as your menu expands.

Care and maintenance

• Clean containers, lids and drainer plates promptly after use with suitable detergents, following any manufacturer guidance.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could damage surfaces and make cleaning more difficult over time.
• Inspect containers regularly for cracks, warping or damaged edges and replace any items that could harbour bacteria.
• Allow containers to dry fully before stacking or storing to reduce the risk of mould and odours.
• Store GN pans and lids in a dedicated area to prevent loss and to keep sizes organised for quick access during service.
• Label containers clearly for date and contents to support HACCP procedures and safe food rotation.
