Cambro GripLid 1/2 GN Polycarbonate Pan Lid

The Cambro GripLid is a polycarbonate lid designed to fit standard 1/2 GN food pans. Its defining feature is a moulded-in polyurethane gasket that grips the rim of the pan firmly, creating a secure seal without clips or additional fasteners. The crystal-clear polycarbonate construction allows staff to identify pan contents at a glance without lifting the lid.

In busy kitchen and service environments, the GripLid earns its place by preventing spills during transport between the kitchen and the servery, and by reducing the risk of cross-contamination when pans are stacked or stored in a walk-in. The secure fit is particularly useful for liquid-heavy contents such as soups, sauces, and dressings, where a loose-fitting lid is a genuine operational hazard.

• Moulded polyurethane gasket grips the pan rim for a secure, spill-resistant seal
• Crystal-clear polycarbonate for at-a-glance content identification without removing the lid
• Suitable for temperature ranges from freezer storage through to hot-holding service
• Safe for commercial dishwashers, supporting high-turnover cleaning routines
• Fits standard 1/2 GN food pans across the Cambro range and compatible gastronorm lines

From a practical standpoint, the lid is dishwasher-safe and straightforward to clean by hand. Polycarbonate is a robust material for everyday kitchen use, though it is worth noting that it will discolour over time with exposure to strongly pigmented foods such as tomato-based sauces — this is a characteristic of the material rather than a product fault.

The GripLid is well suited to catering operations that prep and store large quantities of liquid or semi-liquid foods and need reliable, stackable storage. It works equally well in schools, hospitals, contract catering, and hotel banqueting kitchens. If your operation runs a high volume of pans or needs lids across multiple GN sizes, it is worth having a conversation about building out a consistent set.
