- Not Watertight: It’s a standard drop-on lid, not a sealed one for transporting liquids.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Kitchen, a bustling café in Bristol, was struggling with inefficient food storage. They relied heavily on single-use cling film, which was costly, bad for the environment, and made it difficult to stack prepped ingredients in their limited fridge space.
"We were wasting so much time wrapping and unwrapping containers, and the cost of film was adding up. These Pujadas lids changed our whole prep system overnight. Now everything is stacked, organised, and we can see what we need instantly. It’s just so much tidier and faster."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
After switching to the Polinorm lids, The Garden Kitchen completely eliminated their cling film costs for prep and reduced food prep time during the morning rush by an estimated 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Always ensure it's completely dry before using it for storage.
- Check that you are matching it to a compatible 1/4 size gastronorm pan for a proper fit.
Keeping It Going
- These lids are commercial dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- To avoid scratching and maintain clarity, use a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.

A: Yes, it is designed to withstand the high temperatures and detergents of commercial dishwashers.

Q: Is the lid flexible or rigid?
A: It is made from a rigid and durable material, designed to hold its shape and withstand daily use without bending.

Seeing a temperature range like '-40°C to 110°C' might seem like just numbers, but in a busy kitchen, it’s a licence for efficiency. Think of it like this: it’s the difference between needing three different containers for one ingredient, and only needing one. You can prep your ingredients, store them in the freezer in a pan with this lid on, move the whole thing to the fridge to defrost, and then place it directly into a hot holding unit (like a bain-marie) to keep warm for service. You never have to swap the lid or transfer the contents. This single, continuous journey saves an incredible amount of time, reduces washing up, and minimises the handling of food, which is a big win for hygiene.
