Black polycarbonate GN container Hendi 862537

This black polycarbonate GN container combines a side volume scale with suitability for microwave use and hot-holding equipment. Its non-absorbent material helps keep aromas and flavours from one batch from carrying into the next, making it useful for working stocks that change through service.

Where it is used

At a preparation or service station, the 2.5 l capacity suits smaller batches of prepared vegetables or sauce that need regular replenishment rather than bulk storage. The side scale helps measure soup or sauce and check what remains without reaching for a separate measuring jug.

For soup or sauce that needs reheating, microwave suitability lets the contents stay in the container instead of being transferred to another vessel. It can also be used in hot-holding equipment and equipment heating to 110°C, keeping the container in the workflow from preparation to supported heating. Empty containers stack between tasks, reducing the shelf space taken up by stored GN ware.

Care

Polycarbonate resists corrosion and is easy to keep clean in a damp kitchen. Dishwasher suitability supports routine machine cleaning after use, helping return the container to clean stock as part of the kitchen’s normal wash-up flow.

Because the material does not absorb aromas or flavours, the container can move between different sauces or ingredients without carrying their aroma forward. This is useful where the same vessel is reused across changing batches during a shift.

How to choose

The GN 1/3 format, shallow profile and compact footprint suit a station organised around smaller gastronorm containers. The dimensions help assess whether it fits the available working and storage space, while the 2.5 l capacity is the more direct guide to how much product can be kept ready before replenishment.

Choose this size for a modest working quantity rather than a bulk reserve: it keeps a smaller batch close to the task and leaves larger-volume storage to containers intended for that role. The non-absorbent polycarbonate is particularly useful when the contents change between aromatic sauces or prepared ingredients.
