Item # SR1614-296 is a 296ml smooth-wall rectangular aluminum tray, 160×135mm across the top with a shallow 21mm wall, built for single-serve gratins, baked sides, and oven-to-table dishes. The wide, open surface gives gratins and baked preparations the crust area they need, and the smooth wall presents cleanly enough to serve at the table.

Gratin dishes are judged by their browned top, and browning is a surface-area game. Item # SR1614-296 is proportioned for exactly that: a 296ml portion spread across a 145×120mm open surface at just 21mm deep, so nearly every spoonful of a potato gratin, a mac and cheese side, or a baked shakshuka carries crust. For restaurants and ready-meal brands, it is the single-serve format that delivers oven-to-table results in a disposable tray.
In a deep container, a 300ml portion stacks vertically and only the top layer browns. Spread across this tray's near-square surface, the same portion bakes in a thin, even layer: cheese gratins uniformly, breadcrumbs crisp edge to edge, and egg dishes like shakshuka set without a raw center. The shallow depth also shortens bake times, which helps central kitchens push more trays through each oven cycle.
The smooth, unwrinkled wall and rolled rim give the tray a finished look that works beyond the kitchen pass. Restaurants serve baked sides and tapas directly in it; ready-meal brands sleeve it for the retail chiller; and hotel room-service programs send it up under a dome cover. The full-curl rim seats board lids and clear domes, so the same tray body serves takeaway, retail, and table service.
The food-grade aluminum body tolerates blast freezing and conventional oven heat, so operators can assemble gratins and baked sides in bulk, freeze them in the tray, and bake or reheat to order. Aluminum conducts heat quickly across the wide floor, so frozen portions cook through evenly without a dried-out rim.
We produce these trays in-house and supply them nested in bulk cartons for export loading. Exterior lacquering in gold, black, or brand colors, printed lids, and retail sleeve formats are available for volume programs, and the smooth-wall family covers adjacent shallow and deep sizes so a menu line can standardize on one tray system.
