Suitable for Oven Cooking, Chilling and Freezing

These aluminium containers can be used for suitable oven-cooked dishes, chilled food storage and freezer preparation. They are useful for batch cooking because food can be prepared in advance, stored appropriately and reheated in the same type of container.

Always follow your normal food-safety procedures for cooling, refrigeration, freezing and reheating. Support the base carefully when the tray contains heavy food or liquid, particularly when transferring it into or out of an oven.

Do not use aluminium foil containers in a microwave oven.

Important: Matching Lids Sold Separately

This product listing contains 50 full deep aluminium foil container bases only. Lids are not included.

For covered storage and transportation, order the compatible Full Gastronorm Foil Lids – Pack of 50.

The same full-size lid format is compatible with both the deep and shallow GN 1/1 containers because they share the same length and width.

Recycling Guidance

Aluminium is widely recyclable where suitable local facilities accept it. Remove as much food and grease residue as practical before placing used containers into the appropriate recycling collection.

Heavily contaminated trays may not be accepted by every recycling provider. Follow the guidance supplied by your local authority or commercial waste contractor.

Storage and Handling Guidance

Store unused containers in a clean, dry location away from contamination, moisture and strong chemicals. Keep them nested in their original packaging until required.

Aluminium foil trays are lightweight and may flex when filled with heavy food. Support the base with both hands or place it on a suitable baking sheet or rigid tray when moving large or liquid-filled portions.

Take care around folded edges and avoid using containers that have become badly crushed, punctured or damaged.
