Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The permanent label is brilliant for easy HACCP and  allergen tracking.
  • Con: You have to purchase the airtight lids separately for full functionality.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Harbour View Café" in Torquay was looking to overhaul its fridge organisation to reduce spoilage and  speed up its lunch service.

"Switching to these Araven containers has completely sorted our cold storage. The permanent labels mean no more guesswork with dates, and  we can see what's what in an instant. It’s made a massive difference during a hectic lunchtime rush."

Robert Green – Head Chef

The café successfully cut its weekly fresh ingredient waste by over 10% and  improved its food prep efficiency during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the container a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Use a non-permanent, dry-wipe marker pen to write on the integrated label.
  • If you've bought the compatible lids, ensure they click on securely for an airtight seal.
  • Stack them up in your fridge or on shelves to maximise your storage space.

Keeping It Going

  • The container is fully dishwasher safe for easy and  hygienic cleaning.
  • To remove writing from the label, simply wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, which could scratch the surface.
  • Regularly check for any cracks or damage to ensure it remains food-safe.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Storage Container

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the perfect food storage.

Check Your Sizing

Make sure you pick the right Gastronorm (GN) size. Match it to your fridges, blast chillers, and  service counters to ensure everything fits perfectly.

Consider the Temperature

Will you be freezing, chilling, and  microwaving? Check the container's temperature range to ensure it can handle the journey without warping or cracking.

Material Matters

Always opt for BPA-free plastic for food safety. A durable, transparent material helps with visibility and  will last longer in a demanding kitchen environment.

Labelling is Key

Good labelling prevents waste and  is essential for food hygiene. Integrated systems like Araven's save time and  are more reliable than sticky labels.

Lid Logic

Do you need a fully airtight seal for liquids and  to maximise freshness, or just a simple dust cover for stacking solid ingredients? Choose lids accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these food storage containers stackable?

A: Yes, they are designed to stack neatly on top of each other, with or without lids, to save valuable storage space.

Q: What does GN 1/2 actually mean?

A: GN stands for Gastronorm, a European standard for kitchenware sizes. A GN 1/2 container measures 325 x 265mm, making it half the size of a full GN 1/1 pan.

Q: What kind of pen should I use on the permanent label?

A: It's best to use a non-permanent, dry-erase marker. The writing will stay put in the fridge but can be easily wiped clean with a cloth.

Q: Is the plastic definitely BPA-free?

A: Absolutely. This Araven container is made from 100% BPA-free plastic, making it completely safe for storing all types of food.

Q: Can it go straight from the freezer to the microwave?

A: Yes, it's designed to withstand temperatures from -40°C to 90°C, so it's perfectly safe to move between the two.

Q: Do I need special lids for them to be airtight?

A: Yes, for a fully airtight and  leak-proof seal, you'll need to use the compatible lids designed by Araven for this container range, which are sold separately.

Q: Will strong-smelling foods or sauces stain the plastic?

A: The high-quality plastic is designed to be non-porous and  resistant to staining and  odours, washing clean every time.

Q: What is the purpose of the blue colour mentioned in the title?

A: The blue component is typically a colour-coded clip or part of the label area, designed to help with food categorisation systems (e.g., blue for fish, red for raw meat) to prevent cross-contamination.

Ditch the Pen and  Paper: How the Permanent Label Simplifies Safety

Ever tried to peel a soggy label off a cold container, or found that the marker pen you used has rubbed off, leaving you guessing what's inside? Araven's integrated permanent label solves this for good. Think of it as a small, reusable whiteboard built right into the container itself. Using a simple non-permanent marker, you can jot down the contents, prep date, use-by date, and  any allergen info. It stays clear and  legible in the fridge or freezer, and when the container is empty, it just wipes clean. This makes following food safety plans like HACCP incredibly simple, ensuring you're always compliant and  your stock rotation is flawless. It’s a low-tech solution to a high-stakes problem.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants: Fantastic for prepping ingredients and  storing portioned sauces, keeping the service line moving swiftly.
  • School & Care Home Kitchens: Ideal for maintaining strict food safety and  allergen management with clear, reliable labelling.
