Araven Airtight Container Top Features
Airtight Lid
The new design of the double airtight lip on the lid improves the airtightness of the container so that it preserves food better.
Easy to Open
Araven containers feature an easy-to-open lid, allowing you to access your leftovers or food prep easily.
Fresher for Longer
The newly designed lid also has a channel that allows part of the air inside the container to be expelled, reducing the oxidation of food and prolonging its useful life by up to 25%.
No Cross Contamination
New colour clips to help manage food. Two new colour clips (white and brown) in addition to the 5 existing ones make it even easier to manage food in the kitchen.
Re-Writable Label
The criteria for classifying foods are: Type of food to prevent cross-contamination, dates (days of the week), and work areas by processes or by allergies and intolerances.
Araven Characteristics
Araven’s products have been designed with the hospitality industry in mind and they have included a range of characteristics to make these items best suited for these environments. The handle on the lid makes it easy to open the airtight container, and each container is made from polypropylene which is durable and robust. The containers are also BPA-free and translucent to allow for easy identification of the food. Products are designed and manufactured according to the dimensions and specifications established in the EN 631.1 Standard for Gastornorm sizes.
The permanent label allows cooking professionals to identify the contents and keep information on the origin. The round edges also prevent the acclimation of debris and help to speed up cleaning, and they are dishwasher safe, too. The containers have a temperature range of -40°C to 95°C. To further aid cleaning and general organisation, they are stackable with the lids and vacuum nestable.
Colour Coding Advantages
Following a colour-coded system in your kitchen prevents cross-contamination and keeps everything organised. There is a very simple colour guide that works across multiple items, from knives to chopping boards and storage containers.
- Blue is for fish products, or for products to be used by Monday.
- Yellow is for poultry, or for products to be used by Tuesday.
- Red is for uncooked meat, or for products to be used by Wednesday.
- Brown is for cooked meat, or for products to be used by Thursday.
- Green is for fruit and vegetables, or for products to be used by Friday.
- White is for dairy/bakery, or for products to be used by Saturday.
- Black/Purple is for any other allergies, or for products to be used by Sunday.
To follow this system, we also sell a range of food labels to easily identify the days of the week, to ensure your food is always fresh. Araven’s containers come with clips in corresponding colours to make it even easier. Clearly identifying the last use-by-date for food prevents the risk of food poisoning and reduces food waste by keeping food on a steady rotation.
