Disposable aluminum containers, including aluminum foil containers, aluminum foil takeaway containers, aluminum foil trays, and tin foil containers. The main raw material is aluminum foil, which has a melting point of over 660°C, and the temperature of most ovens is over 250°C. Therefore, disposable aluminum foil containers (without lids) can be used for baking or grilling, and can be safely put into the oven.

However, aluminum foil takeaway containers with lids. Can aluminium foil containers with cardboard lids also be heated in the oven?

It is not recommended to put aluminum foil containers with cardboard lids directly into the oven. Because the cardboard lid is easy to deform, melt or even catch fire under high temperatures. Most cardboard materials have a low heat resistance temperature and are not suitable for use in the oven.

Before putting the aluminum foil container into the oven, it is best to remove the cardboard lid and use the aluminum foil container alone for baking. If a lid is required, consider using a heat-resistant silicone lid or glass lid, which are more suitable for high-temperature environments.
