Where the Extra Large Round Container works best
At 230mm diameter with a 47mm depth, this extra large round container is the largest in our round range. The 9 inch diameter is a universal standard in Western baking and food service — the same size as most commercial cake tins, pie dishes, and quiche pans. That means no adjustment to recipes or equipment when switching to disposable aluminum, which is a key operational advantage for high-volume bakeries and catering kitchens.
Cake, Pie & Quiche Baking
The 230mm diameter is the exact standard size for 9 inch cake layers, deep-dish pies, and quiches. Bake directly in the container — no greasing, no lining — and deliver or sell as-is in the same vessel. The 47mm depth handles double-layer sponge cakes and deep-filled quiches without overflow. See our commercial bakery container guide and baking temperature guide.
Party Platters & Celebration Catering
At 5-7 portions, this extra large round container is the go-to format for birthday party food, celebration catering, and festive sharing dishes. One container of rice, one of curry or mezze — the circular shape sits naturally at the centre of a table for communal serving. The 190mm stable base prevents tipping during transport and service. See our catering container guide.
Indian, Middle Eastern & Asian Sharing Dishes
Round containers are culturally aligned with communal serving traditions in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines — biryani, dal, stewed meats, and rice dishes all naturally fill a circular vessel. The 47mm depth handles high-liquid curries and thick stews without risk of overflow during delivery. The wide 230mm opening makes serving straightforward for buffet and family-style operations.
Meal Prep & Weekly Family Portions
At 1,600ml, this container holds a full family-sized batch of stew, soup, or casserole for 5-7 people. Freezer-safe to −20°C — cook, cool, seal, and freeze in the same container. The round format stacks efficiently in standard domestic freezer drawers. Read our meal prep container guide for batch cooking tips.
Buffet & Catering Station Display
Round containers create visual variety alongside rectangular formats at buffet stations — breaking up the line and making the spread look more abundant and varied. The 230mm diameter fits standard round chafing dish inserts. When empty, replace the disposable container in seconds. Read more in our catering setup guide.
Celebration Brand & Custom Packaging
A round container placed at the centre of a dining table commands more attention than any side dish format. For bakeries and catering brands, the 230mm circular surface is a natural canvas for celebration-themed printing — birthday logos, seasonal designs, and event branding. Up to 9-color Pantone-matched printing available. The round format itself signals occasion and generosity. See our custom container design guide and foil printing solutions.

Extra Large Round Container questions
Can I put a 9 inch aluminum foil container in the oven?
Yes, safe up to 220°C (428°F). Do not use in microwave. Remove plastic lids before heating. Place on lower rack for large portions to ensure even cooking.
What size lid fits a 9 inch round container?
Standard 9 inch (230mm) lids. Use paper aluminum lids for hot food transport and catering. Use clear plastic dome lids for cold display and buffet setups. Both seal securely.
How much food should I put in a 9 inch container?
Total capacity 1,600ml. Fill to 1,300ml (81%) for rice, pasta, and solid foods. Fill to 1,200ml (75%) for soups and sauces. Leave 1.5cm from rim to prevent spills during transport.
Is 9 inch or 8 inch better for catering?
9 inch (QXR3) for party platters serving 5-7 people and large gatherings. 8 inch (QXR2) for family meals serving 3-4 people and standard portions. The 9 inch format reduces container count by 30% for events.
Can I freeze food in this container?
Yes, freezer safe to −20°C (−4°F). Leave 2cm headspace for expansion. Cover with lid or heavy-duty wrap. Label with date. Thaw in fridge 24 hours before reheating.
Are aluminum containers safe for hot and acidic foods?
Yes, food-grade aluminum is FDA approved and safe for hot foods. Avoid storing highly acidic foods such as tomato sauce for more than 2 days. For long-term acidic food storage, use a lined container.
