The 816LS is a GN1/6 gastronorm container lid combining stainless steel construction with a silicone edge seal. It maintains airtight closure over stored prepared ingredients, sauces, or portioned components in walk-in coolers and prep stations. Kitchen staff use it to prevent cross-contamination and preserve shelf life during multi-shift operations.
Commercial Application
Prep kitchens store prepped ingredients in gastronorm containers under refrigeration between service periods. A sealing lid prevents oxidation, moisture loss, and airborne contamination. This maintains ingredient quality over 24–72 hour hold cycles.
During service, line cooks access sealed containers for portioning. The silicone gasket creates positive contact with the container rim. This reduces waste from dried-out product and meets HACCP cold chain documentation requirements.
Key Operational Advantages
- Stainless steel body withstands repeated refrigeration cycles without warping
- Silicone edge seal forms airtight closure on standard GN1/6 containers (176 × 162 mm)
- Non-porous surface allows rapid sanitation between ingredient batches
- Stackable design reduces walk-in cooler vertical space consumption
- CE certified for UK, EU, NSF (USA), and CSA (Canada) commercial kitchen compliance

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is used in the 816LS lid?
A: TurcoBazaar specifies commercial-grade stainless steel meeting CE certification requirements for food contact surfaces. The exact grade (304 or 430) is confirmed during order placement for operations with specific material traceability mandates.
Q: Does the silicone seal fit all GN1/6 container brands?
A: The gasket is sized for standard GN1/6 dimensions (176 × 162 mm internal). Minor rim profile variations between manufacturers may affect seal tightness. Test fit with your existing container stock before volume ordering.
Q: Can this lid withstand commercial dishwasher cycles?
A: Both stainless steel and food-grade silicone tolerate typical commercial dishwasher temperatures (60–85°C). Inspect gasket condition monthly in high-throughput operations. Replace if silicone shows hardening or delamination.
Q: Is the lid stackable when placed on filled containers?
A: Yes. The flat top surface allows vertical stacking of multiple sealed containers. Confirm total stack height remains within walk-in cooler shelf clearance limits to prevent toppling.
Q: What is the recommended replacement interval for the silicone gasket?
A: Gasket lifespan depends on daily cycle count and cleaning chemical exposure. Inspect for loss of elasticity every 6–12 months. Replacement gaskets are available from TurcoBazaar for extended lid service life.
