Food storage for an organised kitchen

Make ingredients easier to find and everyday preparation easier to manage. Explore Utensil World’s gastronorms, food containers, bottles and storage accessories for restaurant kitchens, cafés and catering businesses. Choose a range above to find the size and style that suits your workspace.

Choosing your gastronorms

Start with the GN size and depth your equipment can accommodate, then choose a suitable material. Browse stainless steel gastronorms, polypropylene gastronorms and polycarbonate gastronorms. Materials and temperature limits vary by product, so check the individual specifications before using a container for hot food, refrigeration or freezing.

Containers, lids and everyday storage

Compare round, square and rectangular food containers by capacity and outside dimensions. Allow space for lids, handles and access on your shelving. When selecting gastronorm lids, check the material, GN size and compatible range; a matching size alone does not confirm a lid will fit. Check each listing to see whether a lid is included.

Dispensing, labelling and bulk ingredients

Keep preparation areas practical with sauce bottles and dispensers, ingredient bins and food scoops. Choose bottles to suit the contents and the amount you need to dispense. Food rotation labels help staff identify stored ingredients and record dates as part of your kitchen’s storage routine.

Looking after your food storage

Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and use instructions, including any dishwasher, microwave and temperature restrictions. Clean and dry containers and lids before storing them, and inspect them regularly for damage. Keeping matching containers and lids together makes them quicker to find when the kitchen gets busy.
