Use a lid, for example GN 1/1, to heat the appliance up or keep it warm. Use the appliance with the respective set.
When the set is not in use cover it with a lid to reduce the risk of burns from hot liquid.
When opening the lid, you can scald your face on hot steam. Allow any hot steam present
to escape as you lift the lid. Only then remove the lid.
