Family Style 61oz/1800ml 8.7"x6.6" Gold Foil Container for Party Ribs & Large Frozen Soup Batch

Seventy five millimeters of depth. That’s enough to hold a whole chicken. Not a Cornish hen – a real bird. A 4 pound roaster fits in this 8.7 by 6.61 inch gold tray with room for potatoes around the sides. A caterer in Austin uses these for their “Sunday supper” takeout. They roast a chicken, add carrots and onions, then seal with a foil lid. The customer reheats the whole tray at 180°C for 20 minutes. The gold color makes the crispy skin look even more golden. The caterer told us that families love not having to wash a roasting pan.

But poultry isn’t the only use. A chili cook off champion uses these for his “family bucket” of Texas red. The 75mm depth holds three quarts – enough for six bowls. He heat seals a film lid (the rim is compatible) and sells them at farmers markets. The gold tray becomes the serving bowl at home. Customers post photos of the chili in the gold container. Free advertising.

The two lid options give you flexibility. The foil lid is crimped by hand – good for hot, heavy foods. The plastic lid snaps on faster, better for cold items or when you want customers to see the food. At 1800ml, many buyers choose the foil lid for the premium feel and the all aluminum recyclability.

Packing is 500 per carton. The carton is 45 x 43 x 36cm – a cube that stacks easily. The gold lacquer is baked on before forming, so it won’t scratch when the trays nest tightly.

One unexpected use: a school cafeteria uses these as “tray liners” for their hot lunch program. They put the gold tray on a reusable plastic cafeteria tray, fill it with the main course, then toss the gold tray after lunch. No washing of the compartment trays. The gold color makes the food look more appealing to kids. The school reduced dishwashing labor by two hours per day.

Recycling is straightforward. Rinse and toss. The gold coating burns off.

So if you need a tray that holds a whole chicken, a bucket of chili, or a school lunch main course, this 1800ml gold rectangle is a beast. It’s deep, it’s wide, and it makes your food look like a feast.
