A stainless steel gastronorm lid sized to GN1/2 standard with an integrated ladle recess. Covers hot-hold containers, bain-marie inserts, and prep storage pans used in commercial kitchens. The ladle recess allows partial covering while a serving utensil remains in position during service.
Commercial Application
Used during service to retain heat and prevent contamination in hot-hold stations and buffet lines. The ladle recess eliminates the need to fully remove the lid when dispensing sauces, soups, or batters. Operators maintain temperature control while reducing cross-contamination risk during high-volume service periods.
Fits standard GN1/2 containers measuring 325mm × 265mm. Applied in hotel breakfast buffets, canteen service counters, and restaurant expo stations where portion control and hygiene protocols require covered storage with continuous access. The recessed design accommodates standard commercial ladles without compromising the seal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What steel grade is used in this GN lid?
A: Commercial-grade stainless steel meeting food-contact surface standards. Specific grade (304 or 430) confirmed upon enquiry based on current production batch. Both grades provide corrosion resistance and hygiene compliance.
Q: Does the ladle recess fit standard commercial ladle handles?
A: The recess accommodates ladle handles up to 18mm diameter. Most commercial portion ladles and serving spoons fit within this dimension. Test-fit confirmation available for oversized or specialty utensils.
Q: Can this lid withstand bain-marie steam heat continuously?
A: Material tolerates continuous steam exposure in hot-hold environments up to 90°C. Thermal cycling between service and refrigeration does not compromise structural integrity over typical 3-5 year commercial lifespan.
Q: Is the lid compatible with anti-jam GN container rims?
A: Standard flat rim design seats on most GN1/2 containers. Anti-jam or stacking rim systems may require clearance verification. Provide container manufacturer specification for compatibility confirmation.
Q: What sanitizing methods are approved for this stainless steel lid?
A: Compatible with commercial dishwasher cycles, quaternary ammonium sanitizers, and chlorine-based solutions at standard concentrations. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that compromise the non-porous surface finish.
