BASIC GN Containers

GN gastro containers BASIC — BASIC quality gastronorm containers in stainless steel offer a good price-quality ratio for moderate HoReCa use; the BASIC level is suitable for businesses where the benefits of the GN system are more important than maximum durability — small HoReCa businesses, event catering and additional container purchases.

GN BASIC GN Containers — applications

GN BASIC GN Containers — BASIC quality GN containers are optimal for moderate intensity: in food preparation and storage where containers are not subjected to very high mechanical or thermal stress every day. A small café with BASIC GN containers — BASIC containers are ideal for a small café that uses GN containers for storing salads, desserts or other products in the refrigerator; service intensity in a small café is lower than in a large restaurant, and BASIC durability is sufficient. Event catering with BASIC GN containers — BASIC containers are popular among event caterers because at events containers are used relatively infrequently compared to the daily rhythm of a restaurant; the lower price allows purchasing a larger quantity of BASIC containers within the same budget; check out stainless steel GN gastro containers. BHS offers GN BASIC gastro containers.

BASIC GN container compatibility and GN sizes

GN BASIC GN Containers — although BASIC steel is thinner than STANDARD, the GN standard sizes are identical in both quality levels; BASIC containers are fully compatible with GN refrigerators, bain-maries and GN transport containers. GN sizes in the BASIC range — GN BASIC gastro containers are available in 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/6 sizes in various depths; the external dimensions of BASIC containers comply with the gastronorm standard; insertion into GN frames and racks is ensured. Supplement to STANDARD container stock — businesses that mainly use STANDARD containers often supplement their stock with BASIC containers for lighter usage situations or to expand seasonal capacity; check out GN STANDARD GN Containers for more intensive use.

Stainless steel hygiene and cleaning

GN BASIC GN Containers — stainless steel in both — BASIC and STANDARD — levels provides a hygienic surface, which is a mandatory requirement for containers in contact with food; the difference lies in the material thickness, not in the hygienic properties. Cleaning and disinfection — GN BASIC gastro containers can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand; stainless steel withstands professional cleaning and disinfection agents; after washing, containers should be tilted or stored in a clean, dry place; avoiding chlorine-containing cleaning agents where possible reduces the risk of corrosion. Drying after washing — GN BASIC gastro containers, like STANDARD, should be dried or allowed to dry before storage to prevent water spots from forming on the steel surface; check out GN lids for GN containers for storage sealing.

HoReCa usage scenarios

A small café with GN BASIC gastro containers — GN 1/3 and 1/6 BASIC containers for storing salads, desserts and side dishes; the price advantage of BASIC allows equipping a wider product range with lower initial costs; BHS supplied the products. A catering service business with GN BASIC containers for events — GN 1/1 and 1/2 BASIC containers for serving large numbers of diners; BASIC containers are well-suited for periodic usage scenarios where daily intensity is low. A small restaurant with a combined GN container system of BASIC and STANDARD — GN BASIC containers in the salad bar and less busy areas; GN STANDARD for more intensive bain-marie and heat retention zones; a combined approach optimizes the budget; BHS supplies the products. BHS offers GN BASIC gastro containers to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Frequently asked questions

Are GN BASIC GN Containers suitable for bain-marie heat retention? GN BASIC GN Containers — BASIC containers can be used in bain-marie equipment, but the thinner steel means faster heat transfer and possible deformation with frequent, intensive bain-marie use; BASIC containers are recommended for less frequent or less intensive bain-marie use; for intensive bain-marie use, GN STANDARD containers are recommended; see stainless steel GN gastro containers.

How long do GN BASIC GN Containers last in an intensive HoReCa environment? GN BASIC GN Containers — the service life of BASIC containers in an intensive HoReCa environment is shorter than that of STANDARD containers; the thinner wall is less protected against deformation and wear in frequently used positions; in intensive (daily, repeated) use, STANDARD containers will show a better long-term return on investment; also see GN STANDARD GN Containers.
