Star ratings on these disposable foil trays sit between 4.4 and 4.7, so highest stars will not tell you whether you are buying a roast, a traybake, or a single portion. The best disposable foil trays UK split in this set is three jobs, not one winner. The top pick is a deep oven tray for a family dish. The best value is a 50-pack of lidded 600 ml pots. The [aluminium trays comparison](/hub/diy-supplies/aluminium-trays) holds the full table and the prices from amazon.co.uk. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.

Our top picks

Top pick for a family roast

Superior’s deep ten-pack, B074ZH6DXK, is the top pick when the meal is a chicken, a joint, or a tray of food for several people. The captured price is £13.97. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 777 reviews. The title and the catalogue point to about 32 × 26 × 7 cm, the deep class in this set, and the listing says oven safe to 250°C and freezer safe. Cooks in the stored reviews often call the foil thick and sturdy and name a chicken, a joint, or a Christmas tray. A minority still call the trays thin, and a very full tray still wants a baking sheet underneath. Do not assume the box contains lids. The bullets say without lids, and the catalogue included-components line says Lid. Quote both, and do not shop this pack as a covered container. If you only freeze one portion, leave this tray. The size rules, if you have not chosen a depth yet, sit on the aluminium foil trays buying guide.

Best value for single portions

Zuvo’s fifty-pack, B07GS39XBQ, is the best value pick, and only for single portions. The captured price is £10.99 for 50 trays and cardboard lids, about £0.22 a tray. The size in the bullets is 20 × 8 × 6 cm and 600 ml. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 3,789 reviews, the largest count in the set. Reviewers use the pots as serves-one freezer portions and write the dish name on the lid. One review says the supplied lids do not fit, so food leaks. The bullets say you can reheat the tray up to 250°C and move it from freezer to oven. They do not say the cardboard lid goes in the oven. Take the lid off to heat, and put it back only when the food is cool. A lasagne for four still wants the deep tray above.

A stronger shallow pack for traybakes

Rollay’s twenty-pack, B0CNRXN8P2, is the shallow tray for brownies, a sheet of vegetables, or a traybake that does not need a 7 cm wall. The bullets and the catalogue agree on 32 × 20 × 3.3 cm. The captured price is £13.99. amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 417 reviews. Reviewers name traybakes and barbecue vegetables, and several say a full tray does not bend. Some reviews still say flimsy, and dents appear. There is no printed Celsius limit and there are no lids. Caterserve’s shallow twenty-pack, B0843TFXVR, is the same 32 × 20 × 3.3 cm at £16.97, with 4.6 from 2,344 reviews, a stated 215°C ceiling, and more comments that call the foil a bit flimsy. Take Rollay when the lower pack price matters, and Caterserve when you want the bigger sample and a printed temperature. Neither replaces a deep tray if the dish is wet and tall.

What this page will not call best

CwtcHome’s perforated barbecue tray, B0H7MFSQ8J, is not a best pack. The captured price is £10.99, the bullets describe drain holes and 20 trays at 34 × 22.2 × 3.2 cm, and the catalogue number of items says 1. There is no star line in the file. Holes mean it cannot hold juices. LATERN’s thirty mid-depth trays print 660°C, which is not a domestic oven setting, and the same page both claims and denies microwave use. ROVARIO’s deep ten-pack is cheaper than Superior at £10.97, with more flex comments, so it stays a budget alternative rather than the top pick. Nothing here is a measured foil gauge or the cheapest listing on amazon.co.uk.

Common questions

Why not the 4.7-star tray as the overall winner?
Rollay’s shallow pack has the highest stars in this set, from 417 reviews, and it is a shallow traybake tin. The top pick is the deep tray because the job is a family roast. Stars between 4.4 and 4.7 do not sort depth.
Who should skip the portion pack?
Skip the 600 ml Zuvo pack if you are roasting a chicken, baking a lasagne, or you need a tray that holds juices for several people. Also skip it if a lid that might not fit would ruin the meal you are sending home.
Is the perforated barbecue tray in the running?
No. CwtcHome has drain holes, a pack-count clash between 20 and 1, and no reviews in the file. It is a grill tool, not a roasting tin, and it is not a top pick. There is no star line to quote, and holes will not hold a gravy or a batter.
Do I still need a baking sheet under the top pick?
Yes, when the tray is full. Reviewers of cheaper deep packs say the same, and a minority still call even the Superior foil thin. The sheet is how you lift the meal, not a sign that the pack failed a lab test.
What is not claimed?
There is no foil gauge, no 660°C oven setting, no microwave-safe tray, and no claim that any pack is the cheapest price on amazon.co.uk. The scores compare the stored listings. They are not a taste test of the food.
