Gastronorm Lids are stainless steel lids designed specifically for Gastronorm containers, sealing and protecting the food inside. These lids are crafted from high-quality 304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Their surface is finely polished to a smooth, mirror-like finish, making them both aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean and maintain. Designed to perfectly match Gastronorm containers, these lids are an ideal accessory for enhancing kitchen efficiency and food quality.

Gastronorm Lids Features:

High-Quality Materials

Gastronorm lids are made of 304 stainless steel, offering exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. Their surface is finely polished to a roughness of less than 0.8µm, creating a smooth feel and effectively reducing dirt adhesion. Compared to ordinary carbon steel, 304 stainless steel is over 15 times more corrosion-resistant.

Precision Sealing Design

The lid's edge features a special sealing design that perfectly fits the Gastronorm container, effectively preventing food from oxidizing and odors. Laboratory tests have shown that containers sealed with Gastronorm lids maintain a stable internal temperature over a 24-hour period, minimizing heat and cold loss, and reducing temperature fluctuations by approximately 40% compared to uncovered containers.

Multiple Size Options

Gastronorm lids are available in a variety of sizes to fit various Gastronorm container sizes, including GN 2/1, GN 1/1, GN 2/3, GN 1/2, GN 2/4, GN 1/3, GN 1/4, GN 1/6, and GN 1/9. Each lid size is precisely measured and manufactured to ensure a perfect fit.

Lightweight Design

Despite being constructed of sturdy stainless steel, Gastronorm lids are only 0.7mm thick, making them lightweight and easy to handle. A standard GN 2/1 lid weighs approximately 0.5 kg, approximately 30% lighter than traditional plastic or glass lids, while offering significantly greater strength and durability.

Durability and Safety

Gastronorm lids undergo rigorous durability testing to withstand frequent opening and closing operations and high temperatures. Laboratory simulation tests show that the lid can last for more than five years when opened and closed 50 times a day. Furthermore, the lid's rounded edges prevent cuts and injuries from sharp corners.

Gastronorm Lids Application:

Commercial Kitchens

Gastronorm Lids are widely used in commercial kitchens to seal standardized containers, ensuring food remains fresh and hygienic during storage or transport. Their precise dimensions perfectly match the internationally recognized Gastronorm container system, significantly improving kitchen efficiency. Whether for prepared meals, sauces, or semi-finished products, these lids effectively prevent odor transfer and liquid leakage, while also allowing for stacking and optimizing space utilization.

Food Cold Chain Transportation

In food cold chain transportation, Gastronorm Lids serve as a critical barrier, preventing condensation and contamination from temperature fluctuations in cold storage or refrigerated trucks. Made of low-temperature-resistant stainless steel, they offer high sealing and impact resistance, making them suitable for cross-regional logistics or central kitchen distribution.

Healthcare and Elderly Care Facilities

Hospitals and nursing homes rely on Gastronorm Lids for hygienic and temperature-controlled meal distribution. Combined with the lids, the containers can be directly transported into insulated carts or steam-warming cabinets, ensuring that liquid foods and special meals (such as low-microbial meals and homogenized meals) remain warm and spill-free during distribution.

Outdoor Camping

Gastronorm Lids offer lightweight yet durable coverings for camping activities. Their waterproof and dustproof design withstands the rigors of the elements, and when paired with a portable insulated container, they keep food hot or cold for extended periods.

Gastronorm Lids Maintenance:

Daily Cleaning

After daily use, wash immediately with warm water and a mild detergent to prevent food residue from drying out. For stubborn grease, gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh cleaning tools such as steel wool, as these can scratch the surface and harbor bacteria.

Avoid Extreme Heat and Warping

Although most Gastronorm lids are heat-resistant, care should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat (such as directly over an open flame or oven heating element) to prevent the stainless steel lid from warping.

Be Careful to Avoid Chemical Damage

When cleaning, strictly avoid using strong acids, bases, or strong oxidizing agents (such as bleach or harsh degreasers), as these chemicals can damage the stainless steel's protective coating. If contact with corrosive substances occurs, immediately rinse with plenty of water and dry thoroughly.

Proper Drying to Prevent Mildew and Mold

Through drying is the most critical step in preventing the growth of bacteria and mildew. After cleaning, avoid stacking and storing immediately, as this will prevent moisture from evaporating and create a damp environment. It is best to place it upright on a well-ventilated drain rack to ensure that the inside and outside surfaces are completely air-dried.
