The best aluminium trays, compared.
Top pick: Rollay 20 Pack Large Aluminium Foil Trays (32x20x3.3 cm) Best value: Zuvo Aluminium Foil Trays with Lids, 50-Pack 600ml – About £10.99 for 50 lidded 600 ml trays, 4.6 from 3,789 reviews. Lowest stored price per tray for portions, and not the deep roasting pick. Updated 22.10.2026.
An aluminium tray on amazon.co.uk is a pressed foil container for a roast, a traybake, a freezer portion or a grill, not a carbon-steel bakeware set. The eleven packs cover a shallow tray about 32×20×3.3 cm, a deep tray about 32×26×7 cm, a 500–600 ml pot with a board or paper lid, and a perforated barbecue tray. Judge a pack by whether a full tray lifts without folding, whether the lid matches the rim, and whether the bullet size matches the box. One listing prints 660°C, a melting point rather than a domestic oven limit. Plain foil is ordinary food-contact metal: avoid long contact with strong acid or a lot of salt, and do not microwave these trays. Footprint, depth and lids are set out in the [aluminium trays buying guide](/hub/diy-supplies/aluminium-trays/sub/aluminium-trays-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
What are you putting in the tray?
Rollay’s twenty-pack (B0CNRXN8P2) is another shallow tray at 32 × 20 × 3.3 cm, at £13.99 with 4.7 from 417 reviews. Reviewers name traybakes and barbecue vegetables, and several say these trays do not bend when full, unlike other trays they have used. One buyer with arthritis in the hands used them to avoid soaking tins. Some reviews still say flimsy, and a few mention dents. The listing marks the trays oven safe and freezer safe, but it does not print a Celsius upper limit, and there are no lids. The catalogue colour field says white, which does not describe the aluminium you will actually cook in. It is the stronger shallow option here when you want fewer flex comments than some rivals at a lower pack price than Caterserve’s twenty. It is the wrong tray if the food is a deep, wet lasagne.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A shallow traybake or roast vegetables, when you want twenty trays and you have read that some cooks still find the foil flexible.
Less suitable: A 7 cm family roast, or any cook who needs a stated Celsius limit on the listing.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The listing special features include oven safe, and freezer safe. No Celsius upper limit is printed. Some reviews still say flimsy, so support a full tray.
Does the pack include lids?
No lids are included. The catalogue colour field says white, which does not describe the aluminium tray.
What size is it?
The bullets and the catalogue agree on 32 × 20 × 3.3 cm. The catalogue capacity is given as 20 cups. It is the wrong tray if the food is a deep, wet lasagne.
Zuvo’s fifty-pack (B07GS39XBQ) is a 600 ml portion tray at 20 × 8 × 6 cm with cardboard lids, at £10.99, about £0.22 a tray at the captured price. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 3,789 reviews. Reviewers use the pots as serves-one freezer portions, write the dish name on the lid, and mention takeaway leftovers. The foil is often called sturdy even in reviews that fault the lids. The fault is specific: one review says the supplied lids do not fit, so food leaks, and other buyers disagree on whether the pot is smaller or larger than they expected. The bullets say you can reheat the tray in the oven up to 250°C and move it from freezer to oven. They do not say the cardboard lid goes in the oven. It is the best value pick in this set when you are freezing single portions. It will not roast a chicken.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Freezer portions and labelled leftovers, when you take the cardboard lid off before any oven reheating.
Less suitable: Roasting a chicken or baking a tray that needs a 32 cm footprint.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The bullets say the tray can be reheated in the oven up to 250°C, and moved from freezer to oven. They do not say the cardboard lid goes in the oven. Take the lid off before any reheating.
Does the pack include lids?
Yes. Cardboard lids are in the pack. One review says the foil is sturdy and the supplied lids do not fit, so food leaks. Other buyers still label the lid with the dish name.
What size is it?
The bullets say 20 × 8 × 6 cm and 600 ml, a single portion. Reviewers disagree on whether that is smaller or larger than they expected. It is far too small for a joint or a family lasagne.
Caterserve’s twenty-pack (B0843TFXVR) is a shallow tray at 32 × 20 × 3.3 cm, and the bullets and the catalogue agree on that size. At £16.97 it shows 4.6 from 2,344 reviews, the largest roasting-tray review count in this set. Reviewers talk about buying again so they can skip scrubbing tins, call the footprint a decent size for baking, and often set the tray on a baking sheet. Several still call the foil a bit flimsy, and dents turn up. The listing says oven safe to 215°C and freezer safe, with no lids in the pack. The catalogue capacity is given as 20 cups, which is a volume label rather than a plan for a joint of meat. Choose it when you want a widely reviewed shallow traybake tin and you will support a full tray. Skip it if the dish needs a 7 cm wall.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Traybakes and vegetables, when you want a large review sample and you will put a baking sheet underneath.
Less suitable: A deep, wet lasagne or a chicken that needs about 7 cm of wall.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The listing says oven safe, with an upper temperature of 215°C, and freezer safe. Several reviewers still call the foil a bit flimsy and set a full tray on a baking sheet.
Does the pack include lids?
No. The pack is trays only. Board or paper lids from another tray number often will not fit this rim.
What size is it?
The bullets and the catalogue agree on 32 × 20 × 3.3 cm. The catalogue capacity is given as 20 cups, which is a volume label rather than a plan for a joint of meat.
Caterserve’s fifty-pack (B088HFG3S4) is a 500 ml pot, about 140 × 115 mm and 50 mm deep, with 50 paper lids, at £11.79 and 4.6 from 2,037 reviews. Reviewers call the size right for a single meal, stack the pots for the freezer, and describe the price as decent for a foil container. Thin is a common word, and some packs arrive damaged. Lids come up often without one failure sentence that covers every pack. The listing says oven safe to 200°C and that leftovers can be frozen. The lids are paper, and the saved listing does not say they are oven safe. The footprint is a portion, not a family tray, and it is a squarer pot than Zuvo’s long 600 ml shape. Choose it when that 500 ml footprint matches the meal and you accept thinner foil in the reviews. Skip it if you are buying for a roast.
Pros
Cons
Best for: One-portion meal prep in a squarer 500 ml pot, with the paper lid used only after the food has cooled.
Less suitable: A roast, a deep lasagne, or a cook who wants the foil described as thick.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The listing says the tray is oven safe to 200°C. The lids are paper, and the saved listing does not say the lids are oven safe. Use the paper lid only after the food has cooled.
Does the pack include lids?
Yes. The pack includes 50 paper lids for 50 trays. Lids come up often in reviews without one failure sentence that covers every pack.
What size is it?
The bullets say about 140 × 115 mm and 50 mm deep, 500 ml. Reviewers use them for one portion. The footprint is a squarer pot than Zuvo’s long 600 ml shape.
The Superior pack of ten (B074ZH6DXK) is a deep roasting tray listed around 32 × 26 × 7 cm, at £13.97 on amazon.co.uk with 4.6 from 777 reviews. Across the 50 review texts in the file, cooks often call the foil thick and sturdy and name a chicken, a joint, or a Christmas tray rather than a single portion. The bullets say four to six servings while the catalogue says 10 cups, so treat it as a family dish, not a measured litre. The listing says oven safe to 250°C and freezer safe. A minority still call the trays thin, and a very full tray still needs you or a baking sheet underneath. Lids do not line up: the bullets say without lids, the catalogue included-components line says Lid, and some reviews mention lids. It is the top pick in this set for a deep oven tray, and the wrong pack if you only wanted a 600 ml pot.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A family roast or a deep traybake, when you will set the tray on a baking sheet and you are not relying on a lid being in the box.
Less suitable: A single 600 ml freezer portion, or a perforated barbecue tray that has to drain fat.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The listing says oven safe to 250°C, and freezer safe. A very full tray still needs a baking sheet underneath. Do not treat the lid line as a reason to leave a cover on in the oven.
Does the pack include lids?
Unclear in the saved listing. The bullets say trays without lids. The catalogue included-components line says Lid, and some reviews mention lids. Do not rely on a lid being in the box.
What size is it?
The title and the catalogue point to about 32 × 26 × 7 cm. A bullet that says 9 × 13 × 7 inches does not match that. The bullets say four to six servings while the catalogue says 10 cups.
Rollay’s ten-pack (B0D1C6LCC6) is the deep tray whose title, bullets, and catalogue agree on 32 × 26 × 7 cm and 3,500 ml, at £12.97 with 4.6 from 411 reviews. Reviewers call the trays deep, roomy, and sturdy, and they mention large catering jobs and party macaroni. Some washed a tray and used it again, which matches a reuse line on the listing. A few still say the foil is thin, and at least one review reports damage in transit. Another buyer found them slightly smaller than a different brand they already used. The bullets describe oven baking and freezer use, but this saved listing does not print a Celsius upper limit. There are no lids in the included components. It suits a family roast when you want the size lines to match, and it is weaker if you need a stated oven ceiling or a cover in the box.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A deep family dish when you want the centimetres and the 3,500 ml line to agree, and you can live without a printed oven ceiling.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a stated maximum temperature or a lid that comes in the same pack.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The bullets describe oven baking and roasting, and freezer use. The saved listing does not print a Celsius upper limit. Support a heavy tray on a baking sheet, and do not line the oven floor.
Does the pack include lids?
No lids are in the included components. The listing says the trays can be washed and reused. Some reviewers did wash a tray and use it again.
What size is it?
The title, the bullets, and the catalogue agree on 32 × 26 × 7 cm and 3,500 ml. One buyer still found them slightly smaller than a different brand they already used.
Superior’s lidded ten-pack (B08L66NXB5) is the only large tray in this set sold with snap lids, at £14.97 with 4.6 from 94 reviews and 19 review texts in the file. The bullets say 32 × 26 × 6.2 cm and also 10 × 12 inch. The catalogue line does not match those centimetres, so check the box against the bullets. Reviewers used the trays for catering and for family lasagne or cottage pie in the freezer, and one brownie bake did not warp. The repeated complaint is the lids: one review says the tins were fine and the lids were not. Some say the foil is thinner than older trays they remember. The listing says oven safe to 200°C and freezer to oven, and it does not say the lids stay on in the oven. It fits a family dish you want to cover once the food is cool. The review sample is thin next to the open deep tray, and it is the wrong container if you wanted a 500 ml meal-prep pot.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A family lasagne or cottage pie you want to cover after cooking, if you accept a short review sample and you take the lid off for the oven.
Less suitable: A 500–600 ml meal-prep pot, or a buyer who needs hundreds of reviews before trusting the lids.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The listing says oven safe to 200°C, and freezer to oven. It does not say the lids stay on in the oven. Take the snap lid off before the oven.
Does the pack include lids?
Yes. The title and the bullets include snap-on lids. Reviewers split: tins praised, lids complained about, in a set of only 94 reviews.
What size is it?
The bullets say 32 × 26 × 6.2 cm, also written as 10 × 12 inch. The catalogue line does not match those centimetres, so check the box against the bullets.
LATERN’s thirty-pack (B0BKG9RVW1) is a mid-depth tray at 31 × 21 × 5 cm, with a catalogue capacity of 2,300 ml, at £14.99 and 4.5 from 706 reviews. Reviewers mention repeat buys at Christmas so they can skip the washing up, and some wash a tray and use it again. Others slip a tray into an air fryer so the drawer needs less cleaning. Flimsy and thin are common words, and dents appear. The pack has no lids. The listing says oven safe and freezer safe, then prints 660°C, which is not a domestic oven setting you should dial in. Microwave lines contradict each other: one special feature says microwave safe and a bullet says not suitable. Buy the thirty-pack when you want more mid-depth trays for batch cooking and you will support them. Do not buy it because of the 660°C line.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Batch cooking in a 5 cm tray, including a liner for an air fryer you have already measured, if you ignore the 660°C figure.
Less suitable: A deep 7 cm roast, a lidded portion, or anyone treating 660°C or a microwave claim as a cooking instruction.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The listing says oven safe and freezer safe. It also prints 660°C, which is not a household oven temperature. Ignore that figure as a cooking instruction.
Does the pack include lids?
No lids are listed in the pack. Reviewers have asked for covers. Flimsy and thin are common words in the reviews.
What size is it?
The bullets and the catalogue agree on 31 × 21 × 5 cm, with a catalogue capacity of 2,300 ml. Microwave lines on the same page contradict each other, so do not microwave it.
ROVARIO’s ten-pack (B0DZNWNYV7) lists the same deep job as the dearer family trays: 32 × 26 × 7 cm and 3,500 ml, at £10.97 with 4.5 from 129 reviews. The listing says oven safe to 260°C and freezer safe, and included components are none, so there is no lid. Reviewers use the trays for medium roasts and roast vegetables, and they say a baking sheet underneath keeps a full tray stable. Flimsy shows up when the tray is filled with pasta, and some cooks stack two trays. The catalogue dimension line swaps two axes against the bullets, so cook from 32 × 26 × 7 cm. One review title says not to put the tray in the microwave, and the spec block does not claim microwave safe. It is the cheaper deep pack if you will support a heavy load, and a weaker default if you wanted the thicker-feeling comments on the Superior deep tray.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A medium roast or roast vegetables on a baking sheet, when the lower pack price matters and you will check the bullet size rather than the catalogue line.
Less suitable: A heavy wet pasta dish if you will not double the tray or support it, or anyone who expected a lid.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The listing says oven safe to 260°C and freezer safe. Reviewers use a baking sheet underneath so a full tray stays stable. One review title says not to put it in the microwave.
Does the pack include lids?
No. Included components are none. One review mentions airtight lids; the listing does not include them.
What size is it?
The bullets say 32 × 26 × 7 cm and 3,500 ml. The catalogue dimension line swaps two axes, so cook from the bullet size.
Zuvo’s ten-pack (B0BK5N4Z4V) is a shallow tray whose bullets say 32 × 20 cm and 3.3 cm deep, at £9.49 with 4.4 from 54 reviews and only nine texts in the file. Reviewers used the trays for slab pies and brownies, one said a tray fitted a Ninja one-drawer air fryer, and at least one person washed a tray and reused it. Another doubled two trays for strength because the foil felt unstable once it was filled. A reviewer measured the height at 3.3 cm, not the 5 cm they had expected, which matches the bullets. The catalogue dimensions conflict with those bullets, and the catalogue item weight of 20 g is not a believable pack weight. The bullets name 250°C and the catalogue also prints 475°F. There are no lids. It is the lowest captured shelf price for a shallow oven tray here, on a small review set, and a weak pick if the tray has to stay rigid when it is full.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A low-cost shallow tray for brownies or a measured air-fryer drawer, if you can double a tray or set it on a sheet.
Less suitable: A heavy roast, or a buyer who wants a large review sample before trusting the foil.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The listing says oven safe. The bullets name 250°C. The catalogue also prints 475°F. A filled tray is described as unstable, so double it or set it on a sheet.
Does the pack include lids?
The pack does not include lids. Only 54 reviews and nine texts are in the file, with thin-foil comments.
What size is it?
The bullets say 32 × 20 cm and 3.3 cm deep. A reviewer measured 3.3 cm, not 5 cm. The catalogue dimensions, and a 20 g item weight, do not match the bullets.
CwtcHome’s barbecue tray (B0H7MFSQ8J, model IRM-001) is the only perforated pack in this set, listed at £10.99. The bullets say 20 trays at 34 × 22.2 × 3.2 cm with draining holes, for charcoal grills, ovens, and gas grills. The catalogue number of items is 1, so the pack count is not settled on the page. The title also prints 13.4 × 8.7 × 1.3 in, which is the same footprint in inches rather than a second size. There is no star line and no review text in the saved listing, and no Celsius limit. Drain holes mean the tray will not hold liquid, batter, or gravy. It is in the comparison so you can see a grill tray with holes. It is not a top pick, and it is the wrong container if you are roasting a joint or baking a cake.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Grilling food where fat and smoke should pass through the base, once you have checked how many trays are actually in the parcel.
Less suitable: Any bake, gravy, or roast that has to stay in the tray, or a buyer who wants reviews before ordering.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you put this tray in the oven?
The bullets say the trays can be used on charcoal grills, in ovens, and on gas grills. No Celsius limit is printed. There is no star line and no review text in the saved listing.
Does the pack include lids?
No lids. The trays have draining holes, so they are not a sealed roasting tin. They will not hold liquid, batter, or gravy.
What size is it?
The bullets say 34 × 22.2 × 3.2 cm. The title also prints 13.4 × 8.7 × 1.3 in, the same footprint in inches. Pack count is 20 in the bullets and 1 in number of items.
Shelf prices are the figures stored from the amazon.co.uk saved listings for these eleven listings, plus the review notes already stored for those ASINs. This is not a laboratory test. A star row is amazon.co.uk’s figure. A centimetre is the seller’s claim. Where the bullets and the catalogue disagree, both are kept and the conflict is a deduction. No foil gauge was stated, so thickness is not scored as a measurement. The highest score is the top pick. Best value is the lowest stored price per tray on a large review count for portions, and it is not the same listing.
Amazon evidence
30%Star rating on amazon.co.uk, then the review count. A 4.6 from 777 or from 2,344 carries this block. CwtcHome has no star line, so it takes almost none of it.
Spec fit
25%A stated job whose size lines agree: depth, lids, and a temperature in a normal roasting range. Agreeing 32 × 26 × 7 cm scores higher. Swapped catalogue axes, a lid line that fights the bullets, a 660°C figure, and a pack count of 20 versus 1 are deductions. Drain holes are correct only for a grill tray.
Review outcome
25%UK comments about a chicken, a traybake, or a labelled portion score for the job they describe. Flex, dents, lids that do not fit, and transit damage are deductions. A file with nine texts cannot fill this block the way a file with 50 texts can.
Value
20%Stored GBP price per tray for the job you are actually buying. About £0.22 for a 600 ml lidded pot scores as value for portions. It does not also take the top score, because a portion pot is not the deep roasting tray.
Buy the job before the word large. An aluminium tray on amazon.co.uk is a shallow traybake tin, a deep roasting tray, a 500–600 ml lidded pot, or a perforated grill tray, and they are not substitutes. Read the bullet centimetres, take board and paper lids off before the oven, and ignore 660°C as a cooking instruction. Prices below are the stored shelf prices for this set, not a live check.
An aluminium tray in this comparison is a pressed foil container for roasting, baking, freezing a portion, or grilling. It is not a carbon-steel bakeware set. UK buyers on amazon.co.uk are choosing among a shallow tray about 32×20×3.3 cm, a deep tray about 32×26×7 cm, a 500–600 ml pot with a board or paper lid, or a perforated barbecue tray. Household listings here do not state a foil gauge, so thickness is not scored as a measurement.
Large covers a 3.3 cm traybake, a 7 cm family tray, and a 600 ml pot. Read the bullet centimetres and the depth before the pack count.
Swapped axes, a lid line that says Lid when the bullets say without lids, and a pack count of 20 versus 1 are already in this set. Cook from the bullets when they conflict.
660°C on the LATERN listing is a melting point, not a domestic oven setting. Board, paper, and cardboard lids come off before the oven. Do not microwave the tray, and do not recycle burnt foil or a foil-faced card lid as clean aluminium.
The first check is the job, because these packs are not substitutes. A traybake wants the shallow 32×20 cm footprint. A chicken, lasagne, or cottage pie wants about 7 cm of depth, the size printed on the Superior, Rollay, and ROVARIO deep trays. A mid pack around 31×21×5 cm, the LATERN thirty-pack, sits between them. A freezer portion wants 500–600 ml and a lid: Zuvo at 600 ml with cardboard lids, or Caterserve at 500 ml with paper lids.
Stated upper temperatures in this set sit about 200–260°C where a Celsius figure is printed: 200°C on the Caterserve 500 ml pot and the Superior snap-lid pack, 215°C on the Caterserve shallow twenty, 250°C on the Superior deep pack and the Zuvo 600 ml bullets, and 260°C on ROVARIO. The Zuvo shallow bullets name 250°C and the catalogue also prints 475°F. Rollay’s deep and shallow packs do not print a Celsius ceiling. Ignore 660°C on LATERN as a cooking instruction.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a family roast or a deep bake without soaking a tin. The Superior deep ten-pack is the top pick at about £13.97, with 4.6 from 777 reviews and a listing limit of 250°C. Reviewers name a chicken, a joint, or a Christmas tray. The lid line conflicts, and a very full tray still needs a baking sheet.
You are freezing single portions and you want a lid you can label. The Zuvo 600 ml fifty-pack is best value at about £10.99, with 4.6 from 3,789 reviews, about £0.22 a tray. Take the cardboard lid off before the oven. It will not roast a chicken.
You need holes so fat can drain on a barbecue. CwtcHome is the only perforated pack here, at about £10.99, with drain holes in the bullets. There is no star line and no review text in the file, and the pack count is 20 in the bullets and 1 in the catalogue. Holes mean it will not hold juices.
The top pick is the Superior deep ten-pack at about £13.97. It scores 83, the highest here: a family tray listed around 32 × 26 × 7 cm, 4.6 from 777 reviews, and fewer flex complaints than the cheaper deep packs. The bullets say without lids while the catalogue says Lid. Best value is the Zuvo 600 ml fifty-pack at about £10.99, with cardboard lids and 4.6 from 3,789 reviews, about £0.22 a tray. It is a portion pot. It will not roast a chicken. CwtcHome at about £10.99 does not take a badge: no star line, and holes that cannot hold juices.
Zuvo Aluminium Foil Trays with Lids, 50-Pack 600ml
About £10.99 for 50 lidded 600 ml trays, 4.6 from 3,789 reviews. Lowest stored price per tray for portions, and not the deep roasting pick.
