Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Cardiff-based "Bayside Kitchen", a popular spot for gourmet ready-meals, was struggling with plastic containers that couldn't be oven-heated, causing an extra step for their customers. They switched to the Fiesta DA086 foil containers to offer a true 'oven-ready' solution.
"Our customers love that they can pop the meal straight into the oven. The containers are strong, look professional, and we’ve had zero complaints about leaks since we made the change. It’s simplified everything."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The switch directly led to a 30% increase in repeat business for their ready-meal range.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Store the box in a dry, easy-to-reach location away from potential contaminants.
- Designate a clean, clear surface as your dedicated packing station to maintain hygiene.
- Remember to order the compatible Fiesta DA087 waxed lids to ensure a secure seal.
- Before first use, quickly check your oven temperature settings to ensure they align with the 220°C maximum.
Best Practices
- Encourage customers to rinse containers before recycling to remove food residue.
- For food safety, these are designed for single use and should not be reused for commercial sales.
- Crucially, never put aluminium foil in a microwave oven – this is a serious fire hazard.
- Stack the containers neatly on a flat shelf to prevent them from getting bent or damaged before use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these containers safe to put in the microwave?
A: No, absolutely not. Aluminium is a metal and must never be placed in a microwave as it can cause sparks and a potential fire.
Q: Can I bake a cottage pie directly in these?
A: Yes, you can. These containers are oven-safe up to a temperature of 220°C, making them perfect for baking or reheating dishes.
Q: Are the lids included with the containers?
A: No, the compatible waxed lids (our code DA087) are sold separately. This allows you to buy only what you need.
Q: What is the exact capacity?
A: The capacity is 450ml, which is equivalent to about 15.2 fluid ounces.
Q: Are these recyclable?
A: Yes, the aluminium foil is widely recyclable. However, they must be free from heavy food soiling, so a quick rinse is recommended.
Q: How many containers are in one box?
A: Each box contains a bulk pack of 500 Fiesta DA086 foil containers.
Q: Are they suitable for cold foods like coleslaw or salads?
A: Yes, they are perfect for both hot and cold food, making them incredibly versatile for delis and caterers.
Q: Do they stack neatly for storage?
A: They certainly do. They are designed with a tapered shape that allows them to nest inside one another, saving a great deal of space.

Explore more from FiestaWhy Aluminium is the Takeaway Pro's Choice
Ever wondered why aluminium is the go-to for takeaway containers? It's all down to its brilliant thermal properties. Think of it as a tiny, personal survival blanket for your food. The shiny surface reflects thermal radiation, which is a fancy way of saying it traps heat inside, keeping hot food piping hot for longer during a delivery run.
But it's not just about keeping things warm. Aluminium is also a fantastic conductor of heat. When a customer reheats their meal in the oven, the container acts like a mini baking tray, distributing the heat quickly and evenly. This prevents those annoying cold spots in the middle and ensures the food is perfectly heated through, just as you intended. It’s this dual-purpose talent that makes it so invaluable in a professional kitchen.
