GN polycarbonate container Stalgast 144002

A secure polypropylene lid for 1/4 Gastronorm containers, designed to seal food during storage and transport without risk of spillage or contamination. The lid fits the standardised GN1/4 container size, creating a closed system that protects contents from dust, moisture and cross-contamination while in cupboards, refrigerators or on delivery trolleys.

Gastronorm containers are organised around a modular grid that lets them stack and nest in professional kitchen equipment. A lid of this type locks onto the container rim with a snap or clip mechanism, forming a tight seal that keeps food intact during movement. The material is chosen for its resistance to cracking, its light weight and its ability to withstand repeated handling without warping. Because the lid is not part of the cooking process, it does not need to conduct heat; instead, it insulates the contents, slowing temperature change and helping to preserve freshness.

To use, place the lid on top of a filled GN1/4 container, ensuring the edges align with the rim. Press down until the seal engages; the lid should sit flush without gaps. Once sealed, the container can be stacked, stored or transported. After use, remove the lid by lifting one corner and peeling it back, then wash it separately from the container.

The lid is made of polypropylene, a plastic that resists oils, acids and alkalis found in food. It complies with HACCP hygiene standards, meaning it is non-toxic, non-porous and can be sanitised without degrading. The temperature range of -40 °C to 95 °C allows it to move from freezer to ambient storage without damage, but it must never be placed in ovens, grills or marmites where direct heat would melt or deform it.

This lid fits any 1/4 Gastronorm container, regardless of brand, as long as the container follows the standardised GN dimensions. It is a spare part for containers already in use and a replacement for lost or damaged lids.
