Why this lid earns its place
The Pujadas Purple Polinorm Gastronorm Lid 1/1GN is engineered for professional kitchens requiring reliable, full-size coverage for gastronorm trays. Constructed from commercial-grade polyethylene, this lid fits standard 1/1 GN containers (530mm × 325mm) made from stainless steel, plastic or ceramic, creating a secure barrier against contamination while enabling instant visual identification of contents through its distinctive purple colour.
Built to withstand the demands of commercial catering, this lid performs reliably across extreme temperature ranges from -40°C in blast chiller storage to 110°C in hot holding applications, maintaining its structural integrity in fridges, freezers and coldrooms without cracking, warping or becoming brittle. The food-safe, non-toxic polyethylene construction ensures compliance with food hygiene regulations for storing both raw ingredients and prepared dishes, while the dishwasher-safe design allows for thorough cleaning and sanitisation between uses.
In professional kitchens where allergen control is critical, this purple lid serves as a visual cue within a colour-coded system. By assigning purple to allergen-free ingredients, staff can instantlyidentify safe foods during frantic service periods, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination. The substantial 460g weight provides stability on full-size containers while remaining manageable for frequent handling, and the precision-engineered dimensions ensure a rattle-free fit that won't shift during transport or storage.
