Polypropylene GN container Hendi 880289
Technical data 01 / 02
This polypropylene GN 1/3 container has a transparent body and a 2.5-litre capacity for holding ingredients in smaller working quantities. Staff can see the contents without opening it, making it easier to identify what is ready and check stock during preparation. Its lightweight plastic construction also makes it manageable when moving a filled container between nearby kitchen tasks.
Where it is used
On a café preparation station, use the container for a modest batch of ingredients needed during the shift rather than a bulk reserve. The GN format provides an organised vessel for keeping that batch together, while the transparent walls help staff recognise its contents at a glance during service.
Polypropylene does not readily absorb food aromas or flavours. When the container is used for different ingredients in turn, this helps limit lingering aromas or flavours from the previous contents. That is useful when a kitchen reassigns containers between preparation tasks and wants each ingredient kept distinct.
Care
The container is suitable for dishwasher cleaning, allowing it to go through a machine wash after food storage. Staff can include it in routine utensil washing rather than relying on a separate manual wash step.
Its transparent material also makes the interior visible during a visual check after cleaning. Staff can inspect the container before returning it to ingredient holding, with the clear view helping them see the surface they are checking.
How to choose
The GN 1/3 footprint and shallow profile help organise a smaller ingredient-holding area on a preparation station. The overall dimensions provide a practical basis for comparing the container with available worktop or storage space, while the low height keeps the stored batch in a shallow vessel.
The 2.5-litre capacity suits a modest working batch that can be replenished as service requires, rather than a bulk reserve. Choose this size for ingredients held close to the task when staff benefit from seeing the contents and checking stock without opening the container.
