Microwave container with lid hinge 1500 grs

Large family-sized tray for 3-4 people, the 1.5 kg BMF tray stands out for its ability to withstand being frozen, microwaved, and oven-safe (up to +120°C). It's the perfect size for family weekend getaways: roast beef and sides for 4, a large potato gratin, or an extra-large lasagna. Meal prep companies and caterers use it as a premium, heatable container.

Who is this format intended for?

The 1500g format of the BMF range targets specific uses in the food service and catering industries. Main target markets:

• Meal prep stores: weekly frozen meal preparation
• Family-run catering: roasts, gratins, stews for 3-4
• Family meal delivery services: freezable weekend meals
• School canteens: preparation in a central kitchen followed by reheating
• Transported catering: hot meals delivered
• End-of-year catering: pre-prepared frozen meals

The advantages of the BMF range

• Food-grade polypropylene: exceptional thermal resistance -20°C to +120°C
• Microwave safe: reheats the dish directly in its container without transferring it.
• Freezing compatible -20°C: Freezing process? Microwave without transfer
• Integrated hinged lid: provides a proper seal for transport, no separate lid to manage
• Made in Italy, approved for food contact according to EU regulations
• Rigidity and mechanical resistance ensuring good stability even when full of sauce

Is the BMF tray microwave-safe?

Yes, that's precisely its purpose. Polypropylene can withstand temperatures up to 120°C, allowing for prolonged heating without deformation or migration. This is the fundamental difference compared to standard polystyrene deli trays.

Can it be frozen?

Yes, down to -20°C. Freezing and then reheating in the microwave is possible without transfer — one of the major commercial advantages of this format.

Is the hinged lid airtight?

Yes, for standard transport (home delivery, carrying). For complete sealing or prolonged inclined transport, use an additional film or choose a heat-sealable tray.

What is the difference between this and a polystyrene deli tray?

The deli tray (BC) is made of polystyrene (-40°C to +70°C) and is not microwave-safe. The BMF is made of polypropylene (-20°C to +120°C), microwave- and freezer-safe. The BMF is more technically advanced and more expensive.
