Catering Aluminium Foil Roll 500mm x 75m (20 Inch) – 1 Roll

Extra-Wide Catering Aluminium Foil Roll 500mm x 75m

In stock. Cover large catering trays, line roasting pans and wrap substantial food portions with this professional catering aluminium foil roll measuring 500mm x 75m. Designed for restaurants, caterers, takeaways, bakeries and commercial kitchens, it provides generous coverage for everyday cooking, food preparation, storage and transportation.

The roll measures 500mm wide, equivalent to 50cm or approximately 20 inches. Its extra-wide format is particularly useful for large trays, roasting dishes, buffet containers and bulk food portions that may be difficult to cover with a narrower foil roll.

The flexible aluminium foil shapes closely around food and containers, helping protect prepared dishes from grease, moisture and unnecessary handling. It can also help retain moisture during suitable cooking applications and keep food covered during short-term storage or delivery.

This listing contains one 75-metre roll. All our catering foil rolls are suitable for professional kitchens. Customers specifically requiring a thicker foil with additional strength can choose our heavy-duty option for more demanding wrapping, roasting and tray-lining applications.

Businesses using extra-wide foil regularly can save money with the Catering Aluminium Foil 500mm x 75m – Pack of 6 Rolls.

Ideal for Large Catering Trays and Roasting Pans

The generous 500mm width makes this foil particularly useful where a standard 300mm roll may not provide sufficient coverage. It can help cover wide containers with a single sheet, reducing the need for overlapping sections.

Typical applications include:

• Covering large catering trays
• Lining roasting pans and baking trays
• Wrapping large joints of meat
• Covering buffet and serving containers
• Preparing large foil parcels
• Wrapping substantial takeaway portions
• Covering cooked food while it rests
• Protecting bakery and catering trays
• Covering prepared food during refrigerated storage
• Protecting food during collection and delivery

Aluminium foil supports organised food preparation but does not replace correct refrigeration, approved hot-holding equipment, hygiene procedures or temperature controls.

Extra-Wide 20-Inch Foil for Professional Kitchens

The 500mm width is designed for businesses handling larger containers, substantial portions and bulk food preparation. It provides greater coverage than compact 300mm foil and may help reduce joins when covering wide trays.

This size is especially useful for:

• Large roasting dishes
• Full-size catering trays
• Buffet pans and serving containers
• Bulk meat and poultry portions
• Large fish portions
• Wide bakery trays
• Event and outside-catering food
• High-volume food preparation

For smaller trays, bowls and individual portions, consider the Catering Aluminium Foil 300mm x 75m – 1 Roll.

Save Money with Bulk Catering Foil

This single roll is suitable for moderate usage or businesses testing the extra-wide format. Kitchens using foil every day may achieve better value by purchasing a pack of six.

• Catering Foil 500mm x 75m – Pack of 6 – the same extra-wide commercial foil in a bulk saver pack
• Catering Foil 300mm x 75m – Pack of 6 – compact foil for smaller trays and portions
• Heavy-Duty Catering Foil 450mm x 75m – Pack of 6 – a thicker option for customers requiring additional strength and durability

Standard Catering Foil or Heavy-Duty Foil?

This 500mm foil is a professional catering product suitable for everyday commercial kitchen use. Its main advantage is its extra-wide coverage rather than additional thickness.

Standard catering foil is suitable for:

• Routine food wrapping
• Covering trays and dishes
• Lining baking and roasting trays
• Wrapping hot and cold food portions
• General food preparation and storage

Heavy-duty foil is thicker and may be preferable for:

• Heavier food portions
• Large roasting joints
• Food containing bones or firm edges
• More demanding tray-lining applications
• Repeated folding and handling
• Customers specifically looking for a thicker foil roll

Both types are suitable for commercial kitchens. The heavy-duty option simply provides additional thickness and strength where required.

Cooking, Roasting and Grilling

Aluminium foil can help retain moisture and reduce direct exposure during suitable cooking applications. It may be used to cover roasting dishes, line appropriate trays or create foil parcels around food.

When cooking with foil:

• Follow the appliance manufacturer’s instructions
• Keep foil away from exposed heating elements
• Do not allow loose foil to contact an open flame
• Use oven gloves when handling heated foil
• Do not use foil as a replacement for suitable cookware
• Ensure food reaches the required safe internal temperature

Cooking suitability depends on the appliance, food type and preparation method.

Food Storage and Transportation

Aluminium foil helps keep prepared food covered during short-term storage and transportation. When wrapped closely, it can help reduce moisture loss and protect food from unnecessary handling and external contamination.

Allow hot food to cool appropriately before refrigerated storage. Always follow your business’s food-safety, storage and temperature-control procedures.

Important Food-Contact Guidance

• Do not use aluminium foil in a microwave oven
• Keep foil away from open flames
• Avoid contact with exposed electrical heating elements
• Avoid prolonged direct contact with highly acidic or heavily salted foods where unsuitable
• Take care when wrapping food containing sharp bones or edges
• Follow the manufacturer’s food-contact and cooking instructions

Storage and Recycling

Store the foil roll in a clean, dry area away from moisture, corrosive substances and strong odours. Protect the roll edges from damage so the foil continues to unwind smoothly.

Clean aluminium foil may be recyclable where suitable local collection facilities are available. Remove food residue and follow the recycling instructions provided by your local authority or commercial waste contractor.

Foil heavily contaminated with grease, sauce or food residue may not be accepted for recycling and may need to be disposed of as general commercial waste.
