Product Overview
Getting your kitchen organised is one of the fastest ways to a smoother service, and it all starts with the basics. This is the Pujadas HT890, a tough-as-nails 1/3 gastronorm lid in a distinct red colour. Made from a special kind of polypropylene called Polinorm, it’s designed to fit snugly on your standard 1/3 GN pans, keeping ingredients fresh, secure, and ready for action.
It’s an absolute must-have for any professional kitchen that takes food safety seriously.

Expert Review and Insights
In a pro kitchen, it’s often the simplest tools that have the biggest impact. The Pujadas Polinorm lid is a perfect example. It's not flashy, but its rugged build and the common-sense utility of the red colour-coding are what make it brilliant. It provides an immediate visual cue that helps prevent costly and dangerous mistakes during a hectic service.

- Pros: Excellent for implementing a HACCP or allergen management system effortlessly.
- Cons: It’s a standard lid, so it won’t be leak-proof for transporting liquids.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Full Plate Café" in Cardiff was looking to tighten up its food prep processes after a near-miss with cross-contamination. They needed a simple, visual system their small, busy team could adopt instantly without complex training.
"These red lids were the answer. As soon as they arrived, we designated them for raw poultry and meats only. The bright colour is impossible to miss, even during the frantic lunch rush. It's taken the guesswork out of our storage and made our kitchen safer."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The café successfully streamlined its food safety procedures, leading to a 5-star hygiene rating on their next inspection and a noticeable boost in kitchen team confidence.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the lid a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Test the fit on your existing 1/3 gastronorm pans to ensure it snaps on securely.
- Designate your red lids for a specific food group (e.g., raw meat) and brief your team.
- Enjoy a more organised and safer kitchen environment!
Keeping It Going
- This lid is perfectly safe to be cleaned in a commercial dishwasher.
- To avoid scratching, use a soft cloth or sponge rather than abrasive scourers.
- When not in use, stack them neatly to save space and prevent any potential warping.
- Regularly check for any damage, though its tough build means it will last a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 1/3 GN mean?
A: Gastronorm (GN) is a European standard for kitchenware container sizes. A 1/3 GN size means that three of these containers (or lids) will fit perfectly side-by-side into a standard 1/1 GN frame or appliance opening.
Q: Is this lid completely airtight and leak-proof?
A: It provides a secure, snug fit for covering, stacking, and general storage. However, it is not designed with a silicone seal, so it is not 100% leak-proof for transporting liquids.
Q: Is the lid safe to use in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. It is made from durable polypropylene designed to withstand the high temperatures and detergents of commercial dishwashers.
Q: What exactly is Polinorm?
A: Polinorm is Pujadas' own brand of high-grade polypropylene plastic. It's specifically formulated to be extra durable, resistant to stains and odours, and able to handle the tough environment of a professional kitchen.
Q: Can I use this lid on a polycarbonate gastronorm pan?
A: Yes, you can. This lid is designed to be a universal fit for all standard 1/3 GN pans, whether they are made of stainless steel, polypropylene, or polycarbonate.
Q: Is the lid flexible or rigid?
A: It is a rigid lid. This ensures it is strong enough for other pans to be stacked on top of it without it collapsing, saving valuable fridge space.
Q: Will the red colour fade or chip off over time?
A: No, the colour is integral to the plastic itself, not a coating. It is extremely resistant to fading or chipping from washing or daily use.
Q: Can I use this in an oven or a microwave?
A: No, it is not suitable for use in conventional ovens or microwaves. Its temperature range is designed for storage (cold and ambient) and hot holding in equipment like bain-maries.

Ever wondered why you see so many different coloured chopping boards and containers in a professional kitchen? It's all part of a system designed to stop dangerous bacteria from spreading from one food to another. This is especially crucial for separating raw meat from ready-to-eat foods like salads.
Think of it like a traffic light for your ingredients. This red lid acts as a universal 'STOP' sign for your staff. It instantly signals that the container holds high-risk items, like raw meat or specific allergens. This simple visual cue is far more effective than a small label during a busy service, cutting down on errors and making your food safety practices practically foolproof. It’s a simple, low-cost way to make your kitchen significantly safer for both your staff and your customers.
