Price Match

This is a standard 1/4 gastronorm container made from BPA-free polypropylene, designed for everyday food storage and prep work in commercial kitchens. The 100mm depth makes it a practical mid-depth option — deep enough to hold a useful volume of ingredients or prepped food, without taking up unnecessary space in a fridge or cold well.

Polypropylene containers like this one are a kitchen staple because they are lightweight, easy to handle during busy service, and straightforward to clean. The transparent body means contents are visible at a glance without lifting a lid, which helps with stock rotation and reduces unnecessary handling during service. They sit within the standard gastronorm system, so they drop into compatible bain-marie setups, cold display units, and storage shelving without any adjustment.

  • Transparent body for quick visual stock checks without removing a lid
  • Fits standard 1/4 GN slots in cold wells, displays, and storage units
  • Suitable for fridge and freezer storage
  • Lightweight and easy to handle during prep and service
  • BPA-free polypropylene construction

It is worth noting that polypropylene containers are not suitable for oven use or direct heat. They are a storage and cold-side tool. A compatible lid is available separately, which is worth considering if these will be stacked in a walk-in fridge or used for overnight storage.

These containers suit most types of commercial kitchen — from small café prep areas through to high-volume operations running large numbers of identical containers across a shift. If you are equipping a kitchen from scratch and need guidance on quantities or compatible lids and accessories, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

Frequently asked questions

Can these containers be used in a bain-marie or hot holding unit?

No — polypropylene is not suitable for direct heat or hot holding applications. These containers are intended for cold storage, fridge, freezer, and chilled display use only. For hot holding you would need stainless steel gastronorm containers.

Do I need to buy lids separately, and are they worth it?

Lids are sold separately and are worth considering if the containers will be used for overnight storage, stacking in a walk-in fridge, or transporting prepped ingredients between sites. For in-service cold well use, lids are often unnecessary.

How many of these would a typical kitchen operation need?

That depends on your prep and storage workflow, but most kitchens find it practical to hold multiples of any size they rely on regularly — allowing one set to be in use while another is being cleaned. If you are setting up a new kitchen or expanding an existing one, we can help you think through quantities based on your service style.
