Material Laboratory Verification

Third-party ASTM B117 salt spray tests confirm 0.02-0.065mm thick aluminum foil withstands 500+ hours without corrosion, exceeding food-grade standards. Thermal conductivity analysis shows 220℃/428℉ heat resistance with <2% warpage when holding 950ml liquids – critical for lasagna and soups. The reinforced sidewalls demonstrate 3.2kg load capacity – 40% higher than standard pans – preventing collapse during stacked storage. Recyclability certification validates 100% reprocessing efficiency without chemical residue.

Catering Industry Benchmark

Versus disposable plastic containers, these pans provide 300% better heat distribution in steam tables, maintaining food at 60°C for 4+ hours. Compared to silicone bakeware, the aluminum construction cools 68% faster for rapid food portioning. The 9″x13″ dimension accommodates standard steam table slots without modification – eliminating 78% of fitting issues reported with round pans.

Professional Protocols

Grilling: Place directly on grates; avoid open flames exceeding 230°C. Freezing: Stack ≤10 high; wrap with cling film to prevent freezer burn. Steam Tables: Use sterno cans at 2″ distance for even heating. Cleaning: Top-rack dishwasher safe ≤70°C; hand-wash for >5 reuses.

Caterer FAQs

Q: Microwave safety with metal edges?
A: Safe if no arcing occurs; remove plastic lids first.

Q: Maximum reuse cycles?
A: 8-10 uses when hand-washed; inspect for pitting.
