GN polycarbonate container ARAVEN AR09856

An airtight lid creates a sealed environment over a Gastronorm container, preventing air exchange that causes food to dry out or absorb odours. The lid presses evenly around the rim of the container, forming a barrier that locks in moisture and flavour while keeping contaminants out. This method of storage is essential for chilled or refrigerated ingredients that must stay fresh between preparation and service, or for transporting meals without spillage or spoilage.

To use the lid, place it over a clean GN 1/1 container filled with food. Press down gently until the seal engages around the entire rim. The lid remains secure during stacking, movement and refrigeration. When ready to access the contents, lift the lid straight off; the seal breaks cleanly without sticking or tearing.

The lid is made of polycarbonate, a transparent, impact-resistant plastic that withstands repeated use in a busy kitchen. It is light enough to handle easily yet rigid enough to protect the container's contents. The material does not absorb stains or odours and resists cracking under cold temperatures, making it suitable for both refrigerated and ambient storage.

The dimensions of 530 by 325 millimetres match the GN 1/1 standard, ensuring a precise fit on compatible containers. The 22 millimetre height includes the seal and rim, allowing the lid to stack neatly with other Gastronorm equipment without shifting or toppling.

Cleaning is straightforward: wash the lid by hand or in a commercial dishwasher with mild detergent. Polycarbonate dries quickly and does not require seasoning or conditioning. Inspect the seal regularly for wear and replace the lid when the seal no longer holds firmly.

This lid is placed in the catalogue under Gastronorm accessories, alongside containers, inserts and transport solutions for professional food storage and service.
