Price Match

This is a standard 1/2 gastronorm container made from clear polycarbonate, sized at 100mm deep. It fits the universal GN system, slotting directly into gastronorm-compatible fridges, prep counters, bain maries, and storage racks without modification. The clear material means contents are visible at a glance without lifting the container out of its position — a small but genuinely useful advantage during a busy service.

Polycarbonate is a practical choice for this kind of container. It holds up well against repeated handling, stacking, and daily dishwasher cycles, and it is substantially more impact-resistant than standard plastic. The 100mm depth makes it useful for a wide range of prep and storage tasks — deep enough to hold reasonable volumes of mise en place, sauces, or cold garnishes, without being unnecessarily bulky on a crowded shelf or prep surface.

In day-to-day kitchen use, containers like this tend to earn their keep in a few consistent ways:

  • Clear sidewalls allow quick visual stock checks without disturbing the line
  • GN-compatible sizing integrates with existing refrigeration and storage systems
  • Polycarbonate construction withstands repeated dishwasher cycles without warping
  • Compatible with separately sold lids for sealed cold storage and transport
  • Suitable for use from frozen storage through to ambient prep service

It is worth noting that polycarbonate containers are rated for cold and ambient use, and while this container can tolerate temperatures up to 100°C, it is not intended for oven or direct heat use. If you need containers that move between oven and storage, stainless steel gastronorm pans are the more appropriate choice.

This container suits most types of commercial kitchen — from small independents through to larger operations running high-volume prep. For sites needing greater depth or capacity in the same GN footprint, deeper 150mm or 200mm versions in the same range are worth considering.

If you are building out a gastronorm storage system and want a steer on which depths and sizes work best for your workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Can this container be used in a bain marie or hot holding unit?

The container is rated up to 100°C, so it can tolerate hot holding temperatures in a bain marie. That said, polycarbonate is generally better suited to cold and ambient storage applications — for regular hot holding or oven-to-service use, stainless steel GN containers are typically the more durable and appropriate choice.

Will a lid fit this container, and does it create a proper seal?

Lids for this container are sold separately and are designed to create a close-fitting seal suitable for refrigerated storage and transport. It is worth confirming the lid you select is specified for 1/2 GN sizing to ensure a proper fit.

Is 100mm the right depth, or should I be looking at a shallower or deeper size?

The 100mm depth is one of the most commonly used sizes in prep and cold storage, balancing usable capacity against shelf space. For smaller quantities of garnishes or sauces, a 65mm container may suit better, while high-volume prep or bulk storage is often better served by 150mm or 200mm alternatives in the same GN footprint.
