This Lid for Glass Bowl Esmeyer Arcoroc EMPILABLE 200 mm is a polyethylene (PE) replacement cover designed to fit 200 mm diameter glass bowls. It provides a secure closure to protect food and other contents, supports stacking of bowls for compact storage, and is intended for frequent use in commercial kitchens, catering environments and home settings where a durable, easy-to-clean lid is required.
Advantages
The polyethylene construction offers impact resistance and flexibility, helping the lid form a reliable seal on compatible bowls. Its diameter-matched design promotes stable stacking of EMPILABLE bowls and reduces the risk of spills during storage or transport. The material is straightforward to wash and maintain and resists common kitchen wear, making it suitable for repeated use in busy foodservice settings.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
- Covering and storing prepared food in 200 mm glass bowls
- Stacking bowls to save space in refrigeration or dry storage
- Transporting bowls with reduced risk of contamination or spill
- Use in commercial kitchens, buffets, catering and home food prep
When it may not be suitable
This polyethylene lid is not intended for use directly over open flames, in conventional ovens, or in high-temperature processes where the plastic could deform. It is designed to fit bowls with a compatible rim profile and 200 mm diameter; compatibility with non-Esmeyer or non-EMPILABLE bowls should be confirmed visually before use.
Key specifications
- Material: Polyethylene (PE)
- Diameter: 200 mm (designed for 200 mm bowls)
- Quantity: 1 piece
- Colour: (varies by batch) typically translucent or solid kitchen-grade plastic
- Intended use: Reusable food-contact lid for storage and stacking
How to use
Place the lid over a clean, dry 200 mm glass bowl and press gently around the rim until the lid seats evenly. Ensure the rim of the bowl and the sealing edge of the lid are free of food debris to achieve the best closure. For stacking, align bowls centrally so the lid supports the bowl above; avoid overloading stacks beyond stable height. Clean the lid after each use according to the care instructions to maintain hygiene.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm bowl diameter and rim profile match 200 mm and are compatible with EMPILABLE lids
- Check that polyethylene material and temperature limits meet your intended use (no direct oven/flame use)
- Consider the number of lids needed for service cycles and storage routines
Usage recommendations
Wash the lid in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher if the facility’s dishwasher guidelines permit polyethylene items. Store lids dry and stacked or nested to conserve space. Inspect the lid periodically for cracks or significant deformation and replace if the seal or structural integrity is compromised.
