- Top-tier for allergens: The blue colour is a clear, unambiguous signal for specific foods.
- Less rigid than steel: While durable, it lacks the complete rigidity of a metal lid.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Northern Bites', a bustling corporate canteen in Leeds, needed to overhaul their food storage to better manage allergens and speed up service. They switched to a full colour-coded system, using these Pujadas blue lids exclusively for their dairy-free and vegan prep line.
"It sounds simple, but having the blue lids has completely removed any confusion during the lunchtime rush. The team can grab the right pan instantly without double-checking labels. It's faster and so much safer for our customers."
Robert Mills – Catering Manager
The change led to a measurable outcome: a 75% reduction in time spent identifying ingredients during service and zero cross-contamination incidents reported in six months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Check the fit on your various 1/1 gastronorm pans to ensure a good seal.
- Designate its purpose – for example, make blue the official colour for all fish products.
- Label the lid with a permanent marker if using it for a specific, consistent purpose.
Keeping It Going
- Clean immediately after use to prevent food residue from drying on.
- It is dishwasher safe, but avoid high-temperature cycles with harsh chemicals if possible to prolong its life.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads which can create scratches.
- Stack neatly when dry to prevent warping and ensure they're always ready to go.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this lid dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, it's designed to withstand commercial dishwashers for easy and hygienic cleaning.
Q: What does '1/1 GN' mean?
A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, a standard European size for kitchen trays and containers. 1/1 is the 'full' size, measuring 530 x 325mm.
Q: Can this lid be used in the microwave?
A: While it can withstand high temperatures, it's generally not recommended to use commercial plasticware in microwaves. Please check the specific pan manufacturer's guidance.
Q: Will this lid fit any brand of 1/1 gastronorm pan?
A: Yes, the Gastronorm sizing is universal, so this lid should fit any standard 1/1 GN pan, whether it's stainless steel or polycarbonate.
Q: Can it go directly from the freezer to a hot counter?
A: Yes, its temperature range of -40°C to 110°C means it is suitable for moving between cold and hot environments, though sudden extreme temperature changes should be avoided where possible to prolong its life.
Q: Is the material flexible or rigid?
A: The Polinorm material is very durable but has a slight flex, making it less prone to cracking than some rigid plastics.
Q: Will strong sauces like tomato or curry stain the lid?
A: Over time and with prolonged contact, strong-coloured sauces may cause some light staining, which is common with plastic-based kitchenware. Prompt cleaning helps to minimise this.
Q: Is the material BPA-free?
A: Yes, this Pujadas gastronorm tray lid 1/1 is food contact approved and manufactured to modern safety standards, which includes being free from Bisphenol-A (BPA).

Explore more from PujadasHow Colour-Coding Prevents Costly Mistakes
Ever wondered why professional kitchens use lids in so many different colours? It's all about creating a simple, powerful safety system. Using a designated blue lid for fish, a red one for raw meat, and a yellow one for cooked meat isn't just for looks—it's a core principle of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), the gold standard for food safety.
Think of it like a set of traffic lights for your ingredients. In the chaos of a busy service, a chef can instantly see that the pan with the Pujadas blue 1/1 GN lid contains fish, without having to read a tiny label. This visual shortcut dramatically reduces the risk of using the wrong ingredient or, even worse, cross-contaminating an allergen-free dish. It's a low-tech solution to a high-stakes problem, keeping your customers safe and your kitchen running smoothly.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurant Kitchens: Ideal for prepping ingredients and keeping them fresh and safely separated in walk-in fridges.
- School & Hospital Caterers: Essential for managing dietary requirements and allergens with a clear, visual colour-coded system.
- Seafood Retailers & Fishmongers: The designated blue colour is industry standard for identifying and storing fish products safely.
- Mobile & Event Catering Businesses: Provides a secure commercial gastronorm container lid to prevent spills and contamination during transport.
