Ovenable trays – A handy piece of kitchen equipment found in many kitchens. Home or commercial kitchen, ovenable trays are a simple piece of equipment that are very versatile.
Reheating Ready Meals
Ovenable trays are also used by food producers and retailers to reheat ready meals from chilled or frozen. These trays are designed to withstand high oven temperatures (up to 220°C) without deforming or releasing any toxic chemicals. It is important that the materials used for these trays meet the relevant regulations for food contact materials and packaging safety.
Batch Cooking and Meal Prep
Home cooks use ovenable trays to portion out their stews, pasta bakes and roasted vegetables in advance. They can then be frozen in the tray and then cooked from frozen in the oven at a later date.
Catering and Hospitality
Trays are also ideal for use by caterers as they are able to portion out food to the correct amount for each customer. This ensures that the correct amount of food is served for every customer, at service time, and that there is less chance of food being spilled as the trays are transported to tables.
Bakery and Roasting
Rigid ovenable trays are ideal for roasting vegetables, baking whole fish fillets, making individual portions of lasagne and much more. These will hold their shape better than alternative methods of using foil in the oven for long periods of time. For Ovenable Trays, visit www.southerncrosspackaging.com/ovenable-trays.
