This square polycarbonate storage container from Hygiplas is a practical, no-fuss solution for storing sauces, dressings, stocks, and other high-turnover prep items in a busy commercial kitchen. The square profile makes efficient use of fridge and shelf space compared to round alternatives, and the transparency of the polycarbonate body means contents are identifiable at a glance without opening the lid.

Polycarbonate is a well-established material choice in professional kitchens — it handles the knocks and stacking pressures of a working service environment considerably better than standard food-grade plastics, and it holds up reliably across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for moving between cold storage and warmer prep areas. The graduated markings stamped into the container allow kitchen staff to portion and measure without reaching for a separate jug, which helps maintain pace during a busy service.

A few practical points worth noting:

  • Stamped graduated measures allow quick portioning directly from the container
  • Textured base reduces the risk of the container sliding on smooth prep surfaces
  • Transparent polycarbonate allows at-a-glance stock checks without opening
  • Square footprint stacks and stores more efficiently than round containers
  • Compatible with colour-coded lids, sold separately, to support allergen and food-type separation

The lids are sold separately, which is worth factoring into an initial order — particularly if you intend to use colour-coding as part of your allergen management system. The container is dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward in a high-volume environment.

This size works well for prep and service use in most kitchen types. For operations requiring significantly larger batch storage, larger-capacity containers in the same range are available. If you are building out a storage system or need guidance on quantities and sizing for your operation, the team is happy to assist.

Frequently asked questions

Is this container suitable for storing allergen-separated foods?

Yes, provided you use it alongside the compatible colour-coded lids, which are sold separately. Many kitchens use a colour-coding system to distinguish between food types such as dairy, fish, or vegetarian items, and these containers are designed to support that approach. It is worth confirming your colour-coding protocol with your team before ordering lids to ensure consistency across your storage system.

Can this container go from cold storage directly into a dishwasher?

Polycarbonate is well suited to temperature transitions within normal kitchen use, and the container is rated as dishwasher safe. It is good practice to avoid sudden extreme temperature shifts — for example, placing a container taken directly from a freezer environment into a very high-temperature wash cycle — as repeated thermal shock can shorten the working life of any food-grade plastic container.

How does the 5.5 litre size compare to other options in the range?

The 5.5 litre capacity is a practical mid-range size, well suited to sauces, dressings, and prep items that are replenished regularly through service. For larger batch storage — stocks, marinades, or bulk prep — larger-capacity containers in the same range may be more appropriate, while smaller sizes suit portioned ingredients or high-turnover garnishes. If you are unsure which sizes best match your workflow, we can advise based on your service volume.
