Oval aluminum foil roasting pan for oven mains, baked dishes, and family-size portions
At 280×170mm with 45mm depth and 1,400ml capacity, this oval aluminum foil roasting pan matches the classic oval roasting dish footprint — long enough for a full chicken breast portion, deep enough for roasting liquid, and sized for 2–3 person family meals. It sits between the QX1 single-serve format and the QX2 family-size tray, making it the natural choice for mid-size restaurant mains, retail ready meals, and catering individual roast portions. Oven safe to 220°C; freezer safe to −20°C.

Where this aluminum foil roasting pan works best
The QXH1’s oval 280×170mm footprint is the closest format in our range to a classic oval roasting dish — long enough for a full protein portion with vegetables alongside, deep enough at 45mm to retain roasting liquid without overflow, and compact enough to fit in any standard domestic or commercial oven. At 1,400ml it sits above single-serve delivery formats and below large batch catering trays, making it the natural choice for 2–3 person family meal formats. For a full overview of foil container formats, see our aluminum container sizes guide.
Roast Chicken & Meat Portions
The oval 280×170mm base accommodates a full chicken breast portion or two chicken thighs alongside roasted vegetables without overcrowding — the critical factor for achieving browning rather than steaming. The 45mm depth retains roasting juices throughout the oven cycle, which can be used directly as a pan sauce without transferring to another vessel. This aluminum foil roasting pan eliminates washing up while delivering the same roasting result as a reusable tin. Oven safe to 220°C. See our baking temperature guide.
Retail Ready Meal Family SKUs
Supermarket chilled and frozen ready meal ranges use the 280×170mm roasting pan format for 2–3 person family SKUs — roast chicken with vegetables, shepherd’s pie for two, and lasagne portions that sit above the single-serve tier. The format communicates a proper home-cooked meal rather than a convenience snack, which supports premium retail pricing. The full printable surface accommodates complete retail labelling: brand design, nutritional information, heating instructions, and allergen declarations. See our custom container design guide.
Catering Pre-Portioned Roast Mains
Event catering operations that pre-portion roast mains use the 280×170mm format for 2-person sharing portions — one tray per couple at a table setting, reducing the number of containers to manage per service. The 45mm depth is sufficient for roasted protein with sauce without overflow during transport on catering racks. Compatible with aluminum lids for hot-hold and oven-to-table service. The disposable format eliminates the pan return logistics required with reusable roasting tins. Read our catering container guide.
Baked Pasta & Gratin Dishes
At 280×170mm with 45mm depth, this format handles a 2–3 person lasagne, baked ziti, or potato gratin — the oval base creates the correct layer footprint for these dishes at small family scale. The depth provides 3–4 full pasta or vegetable layers with sauce between each. Unlike the larger QX2 and QX3 formats, the QXH1 roasting pan produces a compact, contained baked dish that portions cleanly into 2–3 servings. See our commercial bakery container guide.
Meal Prep Batch Cooking
Weekly meal prep operations use the 280×170mm roasting pan format for 2–3 portion batch mains that can be cooked, cooled, lidded, and refrigerated or frozen directly in the same container — eliminating the transfer step that risks food safety and damages dish presentation. At 1,400ml, one QXH1 covers a 2-day supply for a single person or one dinner for two. Freezer stable at −20°C. The format stacks efficiently in standard refrigerator shelving. Read our meal prep container guide.
Premium Brand Family Meal Packaging
The roasting pan format carries a strong visual association with home cooking and family meals — a premium brand using this aluminum foil roasting pan format for retail or delivery is directly referencing the domestic roasting tin that consumers already associate with Sunday dinners and special occasions. The oval 280×170mm surface provides full print coverage for brand design, recipe suggestions, and provenance storytelling. At family portion scale, per-container brand impressions reach 2–3 people simultaneously rather than a single individual. Up to 9-color Pantone printing available. See our foil printing solutions.

Aluminum Foil Roasting Pan questions
What foods work best in this aluminum foil roasting pan?
Best for roast chicken portions, roasted vegetables, baked pasta, shepherd’s pie, and family-size casseroles. The 280×170mm base provides enough surface area for browning without overcrowding, and the 45mm depth retains roasting juices. For larger family portions, use QX2 or QX3.
What is the difference between QXH1 and QX1?
QXH1 (280×170mm, 45mm, 1,400ml) is wider and deeper than QX1 (220×160mm, 39mm, 1,100ml), with 300ml more capacity. Choose QXH1 for 2–3 person roasting and baking. Choose QX1 for single-serve takeout mains where the smaller footprint is preferred.
Can I use this foil roasting pan in a home oven?

Fill to 1,150ml (82%) for roasted foods and baked dishes. Fill to 1,050ml (75%) for liquid-heavy casseroles and sauced mains. Leave at least 10mm from the rim during cooking to prevent overflow.
What lids fit the 280×170mm roasting pan?
280×170mm aluminum lids for oven braising and hot-hold transport. Film lids for chilled storage and retail display. Aluminum lids are recommended for this format to maintain structural integrity when full.
