Expert Review and Insights
It’s easy to overlook something as simple as a gastronorm lid, but the Pujadas Polinorm range is a great example of smart, practical design. This isn't just a bit of plastic; it's a tool for compliance. The colour-coding is the standout feature, making HACCP implementation visual and almost foolproof for any kitchen team, which is a massive plus for food safety inspections and daily operations.
Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →
- Pro: The colour-coding system is brilliant for preventing allergen and cross-contamination errors.
- Con: It lacks the rigidity of steel, so avoid stacking very heavy items on top.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Fish Plaice, a popular fishmonger and takeaway in Aberdeen, needed to overhaul their storage system to better separate raw and prepared fish products. They invested in the Pujadas colour-coded Polinorm lid system to simplify their HACCP procedures.
"The blue lids immediately solved our separation problem. The team can see at a glance what's what, even during the busiest Friday service. It's a simple change that has made our entire operation safer and more efficient."
Robert Grant – Owner
This simple switch helped them reduce the risk of cross-contamination and pass their environmental health checks with flying colours, cutting down on staff training time for food handling protocols.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the lid a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Ensure it is completely dry before placing it on a pan for freezer storage.
- Check that your pan is a standard 1/2 gastronorm size for a perfect, snug fit.
Keeping It Going
- The lid is commercial dishwasher safe up to 110°C.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the surface.
- Regularly check for any cracks or damage, and replace if it's no longer providing a good seal.
- Do not use the lid in a microwave, combi oven, or over a direct heat source.

Explore more from PujadasWhy Colour-Coding is a Kitchen Essential
Ever wondered what the different colours on kitchen equipment actually mean? It’s all part of a system called HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), designed to stop dangerous cross-contamination. Think of it like a traffic light system for food safety. Each colour is assigned to a specific food group – for example, blue is almost universally used for raw fish, while red is for raw meat and green for fruit and veg. This Pujadas blue polinorm gastronorm lid makes it incredibly easy to follow the system. When a chef sees a blue lid on a container in the fridge, they know instantly what's inside without even having to look. It’s a simple visual cue that dramatically reduces the risk of, say, fish juices coming into contact with a ready-to-eat salad, which is a massive win for food safety and customer wellbeing.
