Deep Roaster 118oz/3500ml 9.84" Square Gold Foil Container for Whole Holiday Turkey & Pork Shoulder

Ninety three millimeters. That’s almost four inches. Slide your hand into the tray – your knuckles won’t reach the rim. This is the kind of depth you need for a whole turkey breast, a bonein pork shoulder, or three racks of ribs stacked vertically. The footprint is still 9.84 inches square, so it fits on a standard oven rack. But the volume is 3500ml. That’s a gallon of chili. That’s a 10 pound batch of pulled pork. That’s a Christmas turkey for eight people.

A barbecue restaurant in Memphis uses these for their “whole hog” takeout. They smoke a pork shoulder, pull it, then pack the meat back into the gold tray with extra sauce and a foil lid. The 93mm depth holds everything without the lid bulging. Customers reheat the whole tray in the oven. The gold color makes the caramelized bark look even more appetizing. The owner told us that families buy these for Super Bowl parties. One tray feeds a crowd.

The square shape is crucial here. A round tray of the same volume would be too wide to fit in a standard oven. The 9.84 inch square clears most oven racks with room to spare. A caterer who does “holiday heat and serve” uses these for roasted root vegetables, stuffing, and turkey gravy. Three square trays fit side by side in a fullsize oven. The gold finish makes the buffet look elegant, and the trays go straight into recycling after the meal.

Lid options: foil or plastic. The foil lid is crimped by hand – it takes a bit of finger strength at this size, but it’s doable. The plastic lid snaps on for faster sealing. At 3500ml, most buyers choose the foil lid because the food is heavy and hot. The foil also allows for a tight seal that keeps moisture in during reheating.

Packing is 200 per carton. The carton is 50.5 x 35 x 26.5cm – a dense pack because the trays nest deeply. The gold lacquer is baked on before forming, so it won’t scratch when the trays stack.

One unexpected use: a soup kitchen uses these as “family meal” trays. They fill with beef stew, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The 93mm depth allows a full portion of stew without mixing into the potatoes. Volunteers deliver the gold trays to homebound families. The recipients often keep the trays to use as planters or storage containers. The soup kitchen director said the gold color brings dignity to the meal.

Recycling is straightforward. Rinse and toss. The gold coating burns off in the recycling furnace.

So if you’re smoking a pork shoulder, roasting a holiday turkey, or feeding a crowd at a Super Bowl party, this 3500ml deep square gold tray is your best bet. It’s deep, it’s square, and it makes your food look like a centerpiece.
