Product Description
These GN 1/3 platter covers from Steelite are moulded from clear polycarbonate and designed to sit over standard GN 1/3 platters during service and display. Each cover features a top-mounted handle for straightforward lifting, whether staff are serving from the platter or topping it up during a buffet run. The pack contains three covers, making them practical to buy in multiples for consistent presentation across a service counter or display unit.
Polycarbonate is a well-established material choice for this application. It is considerably more resistant to impact and cracking than standard clear plastics, holds up well to repeated handling in a busy service environment, and cleans easily between uses. The clear finish allows guests to see the food beneath without the cover needing to be removed, which helps maintain temperature and presentation during extended service periods.
- Durable polycarbonate construction resists cracking and impact during service
- Clear material keeps food visible without removing the cover
- Top handle allows quick, one-handed removal during service
- Compatible with Steelite Craft Platter VV459
- Straightforward to clean between service periods
These covers are passive — they provide no heating or chilling — so operators running extended buffets or outdoor catering should consider appropriate food safe temperature management alongside their use. They are best suited to shorter service windows, ambient-temperature items, or food stations where platters are turned over regularly.
Well suited to hotel buffets, conference catering, staff restaurants, and event catering operations where consistent presentation matters. If you need covers in higher volume or across multiple GN sizes, it is worth discussing your full requirements with the team to ensure you have the right mix.
If you are unsure whether these covers are compatible with your existing platter range, feel free to get in touch before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The covers themselves provide no insulation or temperature regulation, so they are better suited to ambient or pre-chilled food items. For hot food display, you would need to ensure your buffet unit is maintaining safe serving temperatures independently, as the cover alone will not retain heat for extended periods.
- These covers are designed for use with the Steelite Craft Platter VV459 and should fit any standard GN 1/3 platter of matching footprint. If you are unsure whether they will fit your existing platters, it is worth checking the base dimensions against the cover's 176 x 325mm profile before ordering.
- Polycarbonate is generally dishwasher-safe in commercial environments, though repeated high-temperature wash cycles can cause gradual clouding over time. For longest service life, a lower temperature wash cycle is preferable where your machine allows it.
