Insulated GN 1/1 container Hendi 1180060

This insulated GN 1/1 container is designed for a SmartVide circulator, with insulation that slows heat transfer from the water bath to its surroundings. That property helps the bath retain heat during sous-vide cooking, making the container suited to a dedicated water-bath station. Its defined capacity and footprint also give kitchen teams practical criteria for organising the bath within a batch-preparation workflow.

Where it is used

Use the container as the water bath for sous-vide bags. Moving water flows around the bags during cooking, so the container provides the vessel for a circulating bath at a dedicated sous-vide station. This is useful when a kitchen prepares food in controlled batches: the bags sit in the bath while water circulates around them as the cooking medium. The container’s insulated construction slows heat transfer to the surroundings, helping the bath retain heat through the cooking cycle.

The container is supplied without a lid, so organise the station around the container as supplied rather than planning on a lid as part of the setup. Its role is specific: it holds the circulating water bath used with a SmartVide circulator. This makes it relevant to a kitchen setting up a dedicated sous-vide task, where the bath needs a defined place and its use is kept distinct from general-purpose food storage.

How to choose

The 28 L capacity gives the bath a defined water volume for planning a sous-vide batch. Allow for water to circulate around the bags when deciding how much food to load; the useful batch depends on leaving room for that movement, not simply filling the container with product. This capacity helps a kitchen judge whether the bath suits its intended batch workflow and the water volume that task requires.

The external dimensions determine the container’s footprint and clearance needs at the station. Use them to allocate worktop space for the bath alongside the equipment and preparation area involved in sous-vide work. The GN 1/1 format and SmartVide purpose identify the container’s role as a dedicated water-bath vessel, while its dimensions help establish where it can be positioned within the station. Capacity guides batch planning; footprint guides space allocation, giving buyers two distinct practical criteria when deciding how the container fits the kitchen’s sous-vide workflow.
