The Araven GN 1/6 food storage container is a practical, rigid ABS plastic container sized to the standard sixth gastronorm format, making it compatible with most commercial refrigeration, prep counters, and bain marie setups that accept GN 1/6 inserts. The blue colour coding is commonly used in kitchens to designate specific allergens or ingredient categories as part of a structured food rotation and separation system.

In day-to-day kitchen operation, containers like this are workhorses — used across prep, storage, and service. The ABS material holds up well under routine commercial use, and the temperature tolerance from -40°C through to 90°C means the same container can move between freezer storage and hot-hold service without needing to switch vessels. That practical range reduces handling steps during busy service periods.

  • Colour-coded blue for clear allergen or ingredient separation
  • Compatible with standard GN 1/6 refrigeration and prep counter slots
  • Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient end-of-service cleaning
  • Freezer-to-hot-hold capable without switching containers
  • Supplied with lid for covered storage and transport

Because the container follows GN sizing, it fits within a wider system of gastronorm storage — useful in kitchens where multiple sizes are already in use and consistency matters for shelf organisation and stock rotation. ABS is not as impact-resistant as polycarbonate under extreme mechanical stress, so kitchens with particularly heavy-handed handling environments may want to consider that when specifying quantities.

This container suits most commercial kitchens that use colour-coded storage systems — from smaller operations establishing basic allergen protocols through to larger sites standardising across a full GN storage range. If your operation requires a deeper or shallower vessel in the same footprint, the 1/6 GN format is available in other depths across the range.

If you are building out a colour-coded storage system or have questions about which sizes work best for a particular application, we are happy to help you work through it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this container suitable for use in a bain marie or hot-hold unit?

The container is rated up to 90°C, which covers most hot-hold and bain marie service temperatures. However, it is an ABS plastic vessel rather than stainless steel, so it is worth confirming compatibility with your specific unit — particularly if your hot-hold operates at the upper end of that range for extended periods.

How does the blue colour coding work in a commercial kitchen setting?

Colour-coded containers are commonly used to separate ingredients by allergen category, protein type, or preparation stage, reducing cross-contamination risk. Blue is often designated for a specific allergen group or ingredient type under a kitchen's own food safety protocol, so it is worth aligning your colour system with your HACCP procedures when specifying quantities across the range.

Does this container stack securely when stored in a refrigerator?

GN 1/6 containers in the same format will stack, and the lid helps create a stable surface for stacking. For high-density cold storage where multiple containers are stacked several units deep, confirming that lids are fitted consistently will help maintain stability and prevent contents from being exposed.
