Microwave container with lid hinge 2000 grs

The extra-large, heatable 2kg BMF tray is the ideal professional container for hearty family meals or large batches for group distribution. Its 2kg capacity allows you to deliver a portion for 4-5 people or prepare a batch of products for distribution in a central kitchen. Made of rigid polypropylene, it withstands freezing (-20°C) and microwave heating (+120°C) without loss of mechanical properties, making it a standard for central kitchens and meal delivery.

Who is this format intended for?

The 2000g format of the BMF range targets specific uses in the food service and catering industries. Main target markets:

• Central kitchens: mass preparation followed by distribution
• Meal delivery services for institutions (nursing homes, hospitals)
• Catering for large family events: meals for 4-5 people
• Food distribution associations: mass-prepared meals
• Large Mediterranean caterers: paella, extra-large couscous
• School catering: transported main dishes

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.
