Product Overview
Here’s a brilliant bit of kit for any food service operation. The Olympia Kristallon DP790 is a high-domed lid designed specifically for 1/1 size gastronorm pans. Made from crystal-clear polycarbonate, it’s all about showing off your food at its very best while keeping it fresh, hygienic, and protected from the elements. It’s the perfect, practical solution for any professional kitchen or front-of-house display.
This commercial GN pan cover is a must-have for anyone running a buffet, a busy deli counter, or a catered event. Its clever domed shape gives you extra height, so you can pile salads high or present decorated cakes without squashing them.

Ultimately, this isn't just a lid; it’s an upgrade to your food presentation. It’s tough enough for the daily grind of a commercial kitchen, completely dishwasher safe for an easy clean-down, and offers fantastic clarity that makes your food look even more appealing to customers.

Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Kristallon DP790 is a real workhorse for any buffet or self-service setup. The clarity is exceptional, almost as good as glass but without the associated risks or weight. What really stands out is the high dome – it gives dishes a sense of abundance and quality that flat lids just can't match. It’s a simple piece of equipment, but it’s executed perfectly for its intended job.

- Practical Design: The dome provides excellent clearance for piled-high salads or decorated cakes.
- Susceptible to Scouring: Avoid abrasive pads during cleaning to maintain its crystal-clear finish.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lakeside Café in Ambleside needed to improve the presentation and hygiene of their popular salad bar. Their old, flat metal lids were scratched and hid the vibrant colours of their fresh ingredients, failing to entice customers.
"We switched to these Olympia domed lids and the difference was immediate. The counter looks brighter, cleaner, and more professional. The food stays fresh for longer, and the high dome makes the salads look so much more generous. Customers have definitely noticed the upgrade."
Robert Finch – Owner, The Lakeside Café
The change resulted in a significant reduction in food waste from their salad bar and a marked increase in positive customer comments on presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack from the protective sleeve upon arrival.
- Give the lid a good wash with warm, soapy water or run it through a dishwasher cycle before its first use.
- It's ready to go! Simply place it on top of any standard 1/1 gastronorm pan.
Keeping It Going
- This lid is fully dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.
- To prevent scratches and keep it looking its best, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners.
- Stack them carefully when storing to prevent damage and save space.
- For a perfect, streak-free shine, hand dry with a soft microfibre cloth after washing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this lid fully transparent?
A: Yes, the Olympia Kristallon polycarbonate is designed to be crystal clear to provide an excellent view of the food inside.
Q: Is it safe to put in the dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. This lid is commercial dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleaning.
Q: What does 'GN 1/1' actually mean?

Q: Do these lids stack for storage?
A: Yes, their shape allows for stacking, which helps to save valuable storage space in your kitchen.
Q: Is the polycarbonate material BPA-free?

The Olympia Advantage: Durability You Can See
Choosing Olympia Kristallon isn't just about buying a piece of equipment; it's an investment in operational peace of mind. For decades, Olympia has been a cornerstone brand in professional UK kitchens, known for producing gear that simply works, day in and day out. This polycarbonate GN 1/1 pan lid is a perfect example of that philosophy. Beyond its clear specifications, it represents a commitment to food safety, enhanced presentation, and long-term value. Cheaper, lower-quality covers may save a few pounds initially, but they often scratch, warp, or crack, leading to frequent replacements and a less professional look. By choosing Olympia, you're getting a product designed to withstand the rigours of commercial service, maintaining its clarity and integrity, and ensuring your food display always meets the high standards your customers expect. It’s a small detail that delivers a significant impact on quality, safety, and your bottom line.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy Polycarbonate Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what makes 'polycarbonate' special? Think of it as the superhero of plastics. While standard plastic can feel flimsy and glass is heavy and breakable, polycarbonate hits the sweet spot. It's the same family of material used for things like shatterproof glasses and safety goggles because it’s incredibly tough and impact-resistant. For your kitchen, this means you get the beautiful clarity of glass to show off your food, but without the worry of it cracking or shattering if dropped. It’s lighter, safer, and built to withstand the knocks and bumps of a busy service, making it the smart, practical choice for any food display.
