Stainless-steel GN lids with handle cut-outs close a handled GN pan while keeping its side or bail handles accessible—reducing heat loss and splashes during professional service. They fit GN-standard sizes, are dishwasher-safe, and suitable for ovens, hot wells and combi-steamers.
Product Features
- Professional stainless steel: durable, food-contact-safe construction with rolled edges for strength and safer handling.
- Precision cut-out: shaped recess aligns with side/bail handles so the lid sits flat while the handle remains accessible.
- Heat-service capable: reliable in ovens, bain-marie hot wells and combi-steamers when used per manufacturer guidance.
- GN-system fit: accurate Gastronorm footprint for rails, wells and counters; stacks neatly with matching GN pans.
- Service-friendly design: center grip for quick lifting; smooth surfaces support hygienic cleaning and fast turnarounds.
- Line compatibility: works across both ECO (cold line/storage) and PRO (high-temperature service) GN pan families.
Intended Use
- Pass & buffet lines: keep contents covered while leaving handles accessible for rapid service and portioning.
- Catering & transport: minimize splashes during movement; pair with handled GN pans for safer carrying.
- Hot and cold holding: suitable for hot wells, combi-steamers and refrigerated counters where quick access is required.
- When to choose other lids: pick sealed lids (no cut-out) for maximum spill resistance; silicone-gasket lids for leak control.
Variants / Sizes
- GN formats: GN 2/1, 1/1, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/9 to match handled GN pans.

- Thermal discipline: avoid thermal shock—allow lids to cool before washing to maintain geometry.
- Routine checks: inspect rims and cut-out areas; correct any bends to maintain a tight, rattle-free fit.
- Storage: stack carefully; avoid heavy weight on cut-out edges to prevent deformation.
