Why this lid earns its place
The Pujadas Purple Polinorm Gastronorm Lid 1/2GN is a purpose-built solution for professional kitchens that need to maintain strict food segregation. Crafted from durable polyethylene, this lid fits standard 1/2 GN gastronorm trays made from stainless steel, plastic or ceramic, providing a secure seal that protects contents from contamination while allowing quick visual identification of contents through its distinctive purple colour.
Designed for the rigours of commercial catering environments, this lid withstands extreme temperature fluctuations from -40°C in freezer storage to 110°C in hot holding applications, making it suitable for use in fridges, blast chillers and coldrooms without warping or degrading. Its food-safe construction ensures compliance with hygiene standards when storing both raw ingredients and prepared dishes, while the dishwasher-safe design simplifies cleaning between uses.
The true value of this purple lid lies in its role within a colour-coded food safety system. By designating purple for allergen-free ingredients, kitchens can instantly prevent cross-contamination during busy service periods. The lightweight polyethylene construction (just 268g) makes it easy for staff to handle repeatedly throughout service, while the precise 325mm × 265mm dimensions ensure a secure fit on standard 1/2 GN containers without rattling or shifting during transport.
