Expert Review and Insights
In a fast-paced kitchen, simplicity is king. The Pujadas HT884 lid isn't flashy, but it's incredibly smart. It leverages the industry-standard colour-coding for allergens, turning a basic piece of kit into a critical safety tool.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →
- Top Mark: The purple colour is a non-negotiable for serious allergen management.
- Heads Up: It provides a standard fit, not a watertight seal for liquids.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A large conference centre in Cardiff upgraded its kitchen storage system after seeing a sharp rise in delegate requests for allergen-specific catering. Their old system of using labels and cling film was prone to error during high-pressure events.
"Switching to the purple lids was a breath of fresh air. The kitchen team can see exactly which pans are for special dietary needs at a glance. It's faster, safer, and our clients have noticed our commitment to getting it right."
Laura Williams – Head of Operations
The change resulted in a 95% reduction in potential cross-contamination incidents and sped up their 'special meals' plating line by over 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash thoroughly in a commercial dishwasher or with food-safe detergent before first use.
- Ensure you are pairing it with a standard 1/1 Gastronorm pan for a correct fit.
- Integrate it into your kitchen's food safety plan, dedicating it exclusively to allergen-free use.
- Note that it provides a secure cover for stacking and storage, not a fully waterproof seal.
Keeping It Going
- The lid is commercial dishwasher safe for easy and effective cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the surface.
- Store flat or stacked neatly to prevent the lid from warping over time.
- Regularly inspect for any cracks or damage and replace if the integrity is compromised.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 1/1 GN actually mean?
A: It refers to 'Gastronorm', the European standard size for kitchen containers. A 1/1 GN pan is approximately 530 x 325mm, and this lid is made to fit it perfectly.
Q: Is this Pujadas HT884 GN lid rigid or flexible?
A: It's made from a durable yet semi-flexible polypropylene. This makes it tough enough to resist cracking if dropped, unlike more brittle plastics.
Q: Why is it specifically purple?
A: Purple is the industry-recognised colour for identifying equipment used in the preparation of allergen-free foods, helping to prevent accidental cross-contamination.
Q: Will it fit my non-Pujadas stainless steel pans?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed to the universal 1/1 GN standard and will fit any brand of pan in that size, whether it's stainless steel, polycarbonate, or polypropylene.
Q: Is the lid designed for stacking?
A: Yes, the shape of the lid allows for stable stacking of multiple GN pans, helping you make the most of your valuable storage and fridge space.
Q: Can I put this in my commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, it is designed to be fully commercial dishwasher safe for quick, easy, and hygienic cleaning.
Q: What is Polinorm?
A: Polinorm is the brand name Pujadas uses for its high-quality range of food-safe polypropylene kitchenware, known for its durability and reliability.
Q: Is the lid airtight?
A: It provides a secure, snug fit for storage and transport of solid or semi-solid foods, but it is not designed to be a fully airtight, liquid-proof seal.
