Getting the Most from Your Foil Trays
Aluminium foil trays are incredibly versatile — but a few simple practices ensure the best results every time.
Choose the Right Size
Use our size guide to match tray capacity to your portion. Overfilling causes spills; underfilling means wasted space.
Use Paper Lids for Transport
Always pair your foil tray with a matching paper lid to prevent spills during delivery and maintain food temperature.
Oven Use: No Preheating Needed
Place foil trays directly in a cold or preheated oven. Avoid placing trays on direct heating elements — use a baking tray underneath.
Freeze with Lid On
Seal lid tightly before freezing. Label with contents and date. Reheat directly from frozen at 180°C with lid on for 45–60 min.
Recycle After Use
Rinse off any food residue, scrunch into a ball, and place in your yellow recycling bin. Aluminium is 100% recyclable.
⚠️ Important Tips & Warnings
Never use in microwave
Aluminium foil trays are not microwave-safe. Sparks and damage to appliances may occur.
Limit acidic foods for long storage
Avoid storing tomato-based sauces, vinegar, or citrus dishes in foil for extended periods — acid can interact with aluminium.
Avoid direct open flame contact
Use on BBQ grills with a rack, not directly over open flames for extended periods.
Stack carefully for storage
Pakio trays are designed to stack flat for space-efficient storage in your kitchen or storeroom.
Rinse before recycling
Clean foil is recyclable; food-contaminated foil often isn't accepted at kerbside. A quick rinse makes a big difference.
