Microwave container with lid hinge 375 grs

The standard lunch portion size in the microwave range, the 375g tray meets the most common need: a hot, single-serve meal to be eaten during the day. Unlike standard deli trays (made of polystyrene), the BMF's polypropylene allows for prolonged microwave heating without deformation, at temperatures up to +120°C. It is the ideal professional container for dark kitchens, cloud kitchens, and hot meal delivery services for businesses or homes.

Who is this format intended for?

The 375g format of the BMF range targets specific uses in the food service and catering industries. Main target markets:

• Dark kitchens and cloud kitchens: hot delivery container
• Meal delivery services for businesses
• Office catering: individual portion hot lunches
• Urban snacks: container for the daily special to take away, heatable
• Meal delivery: central kitchen to private homes
• Takeaway restaurants offering customer reheating

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.
