Delivery Information
Price Match
This is a straightforward polypropylene gastronorm container in the quarter-size format, 150mm deep. It is designed for food storage and prep-line use in commercial kitchens, fitting into the standard gastronorm grid that most professional refrigeration, bain-maries and countertop inserts follow. The material is BPA-free polypropylene, which is food-safe, lightweight, and handles both refrigerated and ambient storage without issue.
In a working kitchen, these containers earn their keep through sheer practicality. The quarter-size footprint suits sections where space is tight — a cold well insert, a prep fridge shelf, or a mise en place station during service. The 150mm depth gives a reasonable volume for ingredients, sauces, or prepped garnishes without the container becoming unwieldy to handle or stack. The transparent body means contents are identifiable at a glance, which matters when a section is moving quickly and there is no time to lift lids unnecessarily.
- BPA-free polypropylene construction, food-safe for hot and cold use
- Quarter gastronorm sizing fits standard refrigeration and display inserts
- Transparent body allows contents to be identified without opening
- 150mm depth provides useful volume for prepped ingredients and sauces
- Compatible with a separately available lid for sealed storage
There are no particular installation requirements — these drop straight into any standard gastronorm-compatible unit. It is worth confirming your existing equipment accepts quarter-size containers if you are mixing formats across a section. A compatible lid is available separately, which extends the usefulness of the container for covered fridge storage and transport between areas.
This container suits most commercial kitchens as a general-purpose storage and prep item — from small cafés to larger operations that use gastronorm containers as part of a structured mise en place system. For sites needing greater volume in the same footprint, deeper containers in the same format are worth considering.
If you are building out a gastronorm storage system and want to make sure the sizing and formats work together across your setup, our team are happy to help you think it through.
Frequently asked questions
Will this container fit my existing cold well or refrigeration unit?
It will fit any unit built to the standard gastronorm grid that accepts quarter-size containers. If your equipment uses a different configuration — such as third or half-size inserts only — it is worth checking the insert dimensions before ordering, as not all countertop units accommodate every GN format.
Can this container be used for hot food as well as cold storage?
Polypropylene is suitable for both cold storage and holding food at warm ambient temperatures, but it is not designed for use directly in ovens or on direct heat sources. For hot holding in a bain-marie or heated gantry, check the temperature rating of the specific container before use.
How do these containers fit into a mise en place or prep system?
The quarter-size format works well for individual ingredients, garnishes, and sauces where you want each item contained, labelled, and easy to locate during service. Using consistent gastronorm sizing across your prep setup makes it straightforward to transfer containers directly from the fridge into a cold well or onto a prep station without decanting.
