GN container lid Stalgast 116006

A gastronorm lid seals and protects food in standardised GN1/6 containers during storage, transport or chilling. The flat stainless steel surface presses evenly over the rim of the container, blocking air and moisture while keeping dust out. This simple barrier slows temperature change, extends shelf life and maintains food safety without power or moving parts.

The operator places the lid directly on the filled container, aligning the edges with the rim. No fastening is needed; the weight of the lid and the close fit hold it in place. When the container is stacked, the lid also acts as a stable base for the next container, preventing slippage and protecting the contents below. After use, the lid is lifted off and set aside for cleaning or reuse.

Made of stainless steel, the lid resists corrosion, staining and high temperatures. The smooth surface allows easy wiping and prevents food particles from sticking. The material is dishwasher-safe, so it can be cleaned alongside the containers it covers. The temperature range of -40 to +300 °C means the lid can be used in blast chillers, refrigerators, hot-holding cabinets and ovens without warping or degrading.

The dimensions of 176 mm by 162 mm match the GN1/6 standard, ensuring a precise fit on compatible containers. The compact size allows multiple lidded containers to be stacked in cupboards, on worktops or in transport trolleys, saving space in busy kitchens.

Cleaning involves washing the lid with hot water and detergent, either by hand or in a commercial dishwasher. The stainless steel surface does not absorb odours or bacteria, so thorough rinsing is sufficient to restore hygiene. No special maintenance is required beyond regular cleaning.

The lid is designed for use with all GN1/6 gastronorm containers, regardless of brand, as long as they meet the standardised dimensions.
