Overview
The KITALWARE Gastronorm Lid with Silicone Rim is a specialized accessory designed to complement standard EN 631 Gastronorm food pans with a secure-fitting lid that incorporates a flexible silicone gasket for improved seal performance. The silicone rim creates an airtight seal that helps retain temperature, prevent spillage during transport, and protect stored ingredients from airborne contamination. Available in all standard GN fractional sizes from 1/1 down to 1/6, this lid system transforms standard open-top pans into covered storage or transport containers without sacrificing compatibility with existing GN equipment.

- Stainless steel body resists denting and maintains appearance
- Food-grade silicone gasket is heat-resistant and dishwasher-safe
- Secure fit prevents lid displacement during transport
- Stackable design allows covered pans to be safely stacked
- Clear visibility of pan contents through optional transparent variants
- Easy to remove and clean — gasket detaches for thorough sanitization

Why Choose KITALWARE
KITALWARE’s Gastronorm Lid with Silicone Rim addresses a common frustration with standard metal lids: the tendency to sit unevenly on pan rims, allowing heat escape, moisture loss, and potential contamination ingress. Our integrated silicone gasket solves this problem by creating a consistent seal around the entire perimeter of any compatible GN pan. The gasket material is formulated to withstand commercial dishwasher temperatures and repeated removal/replacement cycles without hardening or cracking—a common failure point in lower-quality silicone products.
