GN1/1 65 mm Gastronorm Kidney Container

A kidney-shaped gastronorm container holds and transports prepared ingredients or finished dishes within a professional kitchen. The curved profile fits around corners and maximises usable space on worktops, in bain-maries, refrigerated counters and heated wells. Because the container conforms to the gastronorm standard, it slides into compatible racks, shelves and trolleys without adjustment, allowing staff to move food quickly between storage, preparation and service areas.

The container is filled directly on the worktop or inside a larger appliance. Once loaded, it is lifted by its rolled rim and placed into a gastronorm-compatible unit. The 65 mm depth keeps portions shallow, which speeds heat transfer in hot or cold holding and reduces the risk of uneven temperatures. After use, the container is removed, emptied and cleaned.

Constructed from stainless steel, the container resists corrosion, withstands repeated washing and does not absorb odours or flavours. The rolled rim adds strength and provides a secure grip for handling. The base is flat and stable, preventing tipping when the container is set on a work surface.

The 4.8 litre volume indicates how much food the container can hold without spillage. The GN1/1 footprint matches the standard gastronorm grid, so the container occupies the same space as any other GN1/1 unit, simplifying storage and transport planning.

Cleaning involves washing the container with hot water and detergent, then rinsing and drying. The stainless steel surface can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals without damage. The absence of seams or crevices reduces food residue build-up and makes cleaning faster.

This model is a single variant in the BHS gastronorm container range, sized GN1/1 with a 65 mm depth and kidney shape.

The container fits all professional kitchen equipment that accepts GN1/1 gastronorm inserts, including bain-maries, refrigerated counters, heated display units, storage racks and transport trolleys.
