Why this lid earns its place
The medium size is where most kitchens live. At 231 × 231 mm, these red lids are generous enough to hold batch-sized amounts of raw meat or prepared proteins, yet practical enough that staff can handle them easily throughout service. Red colour coding is the industry standard for raw meat—a visual signal that works instantly, across language barriers, and survives the noise and speed of busy prep areas.
Polyethylene construction is built for hard work. These lids are dishwasher safe and freezer safe, surviving daily washing and extended cold storage without warping or colour fade. At just 110 g, they're light enough to move comfortably but solid enough to feel reliable. The 17 mm height allows efficient stacking, so you can keep a substantial supply on hand without occupying much cold-storage real estate.
Food-safety systems only work when everyone follows them automatically. Colour-coded storage removes the guesswork: red is raw meat, every time. Your prep cooks see it instantly. Your dishwashers understand it. Agency staff following your protocols get it right the first time. Build your system with red-coded Hygiplas square containers in multiple sizes, and raw-meat handling becomes simple, consistent, and safe.
