The 813LS is a GN1/3 sealing lid combining stainless steel construction with silicone gasket edge. It fits standard 325mm × 176mm gastronorm containers used in commercial kitchens for food storage, transport, and prep. Operators use it to maintain hygiene compliance during refrigerated holding and service line operations.
Commercial Application
This lid seals prepared ingredients or cooked product in GN1/3 pans during refrigeration cycles between prep and service. The silicone perimeter reduces moisture loss and prevents cross-contamination in walk-in coolers or service counters where multiple pans stack.
Kitchen staff apply it to portion-controlled mise en place containers, batch-cooked vegetables, or marinating proteins. The seal holds during transport between prep stations and service lines in multi-station hotel kitchens or catering production facilities.
Key Operational Advantages
- GN1/3 dimensions: 325mm × 176mm — direct fit to standard European gastronorm pan sizing
- Silicone gasket edge creates seal against container rim to reduce evaporation during cold storage
- Stainless steel body resists corrosion from acidic marinades, dairy product contact, or steam condensation
- CE certified construction meets UK, EU, USA (NSF), and Canada (CSA) commercial kitchen hygiene requirements
- Dishwasher-safe materials withstand repeated high-temperature wash cycles at 80°C or above
- Smooth non-porous surface prevents bacterial harbour points during multi-day refrigerated storage

Construction & Build Quality
Stainless steel body provides structural rigidity and corrosion resistance across repeated thermal cycles. Silicone gasket edge bonds to the lid perimeter without adhesive failure during dishwasher exposure or temperature swings from -5°C cold storage to +70°C hot-hold environments.
- Stainless steel: commercial-grade sheet metal formed to GN1/3 standard profile
- Silicone gasket: food-grade polymer bonded to lid edge for continuous seal contact
- No exposed fasteners or joint gaps that trap debris during cleaning cycles
Suitable Operations
- Commercial kitchens
- Hotel prep areas
- Restaurant kitchens
- Catering production facilities
- Food processing operations

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is used in the 813LS lid body?
A: The lid uses commercial stainless steel suitable for food contact and repeated dishwasher cycles. Material specification meets CE, NSF, and CSA standards for corrosion resistance in commercial kitchen environments.
Q: Does the silicone gasket require replacement after repeated wash cycles?
A: The gasket remains bonded through normal commercial dishwasher use at 80°C. Replacement becomes necessary only if visible tearing or separation from the lid edge occurs after extended service.
Q: Can this lid seal against non-standard or third-party GN1/3 containers?
A: It fits any container with 325mm × 176mm top dimensions and standard gastronorm rim profile. Compatibility issues arise only with deep-drawn containers lacking defined rim edge for gasket contact.
Q: Is the lid suitable for oven use or only cold storage applications?
A: The silicone gasket limits use to refrigerated storage and ambient transport. Do not expose to oven temperatures above 120°C or direct flame contact.
Q: What volume discounts apply for multi-site hotel or catering orders?
A: Orders above 50 units receive tiered pricing. Freight consolidation reduces per-unit cost on container shipments for standardised GN pan programmes across multiple kitchen sites.
