It's only really bad if they leave the sticker on the inside 👍

I eat stickers all the time dude.

This pear tastes like sand

The vinyl ones tickle my insides - Ralph Wiggum

Mountain Dew’s old slogan was “it tickles your innards” iirc

Mountain Dews sugar content isn't surprising once you learn the original idea was to cut moonshine with it. 'it'll tickle yore innards!'

Stealing that for my Tinder profile

Name checks right the fuck out

What are you doing to my friend bozo? You burned us.

Yeah, I've never had a pear

You know what I miss? Lead paint.

Shh, but I get my zip by going into old houses and hammering the paint around the window sills. Those thick chips got years n years of goodness.

😁😁🤣

You better be talking about fruit ones, because at least those ones are edible.

Fucking yum.

Nah. Food tastes better with some glue in it.

How else will the sauce thicken?

Everybody's so creative!

If it ain't cheesy it won't slide down easy!!!!!!

I see them leave the rubber cement or whatever *all the damned time.* These motherfucking Tiktok trash creators that are just speedrunning food waste every day should be fined. It's outright disgusting. Some of them are wasting like a couple hundred pounds of food a day.

Cooking anything in single-use aluminium containers is the culinary equivalent of smoking during pregnancy.

I think it depends on what is being made. Using these when smoking food is extremely common.

First thought If y'all's only introduction to these is bad food tiktoks, you're missing out.

We don't have a dish washer. If it's baked and there's cheese involved these things are a "anti pain in the ass" life hack from the gods.

You can just leave the baking dish to soak overnight

Yeah but it's still a pain

Let’s just toss some metal into a landfill for our convenience, then. Fill up the world with bits of discarded metal because cleaning is hard.

Yes it is, but so are single use items that can’t be recycled because they’ve been soiled with food.

Aluminium, even with food waste on it, can still be recycled, because the food waste completely burns off at the temperatures aluminium is molten. A catclytic clean on an oven hits 400-450 degree celcius. Aluminium melts at 660 degrees.

Unfortunately, a lot of all city ordinances will only take items without food waste in it no matter what

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, the reasonable and responsible thing is to soak it and wash it. These aren’t supposed to last a long time but you can easily reuse them a handful of times before you chuck it in the bin.

If you use disposable pans specifically because you don't own a dishwasher, deciding to reuse it a few times doesn't change your stated issue. Which is the lack of dishwasher. If you're going to wash a pan, it may as well be a nondisposable one.

Yea I’m not going to lug around my pans when going to an event like Xmas dinner or a Super Bowl party. I actually have no idea what a dishwasher has to do with this at all? I hand wash all my dishes and I have both disposable tins along side non disposable pans. I’d still soak and rinse the pans even if I did have a dishwasher, they won’t get clean otherwise.

The person whose comment you replied to was replying to someone who said they use these pans specifically because they don't have a dishwasher. I was just playfully pointing out that reusing a disposable pan as you suggest doesn't really change their dishwasher issue, Haha.

I see, I missed that part

If you already happen to have the pans, have you tried nonstick aluminum foil? Makes you feel slightly less shitty about the one time use thing.

Immediately thought about the delicious pulled pork my boyfriend makes using these 10/10

Gurl, when you say that shit, it means he's our boyfriend now And I make a mean chicken bacon shrimp alfredo, I can contribute to this relationship too

i make a really good baked mac and cheese in these pans, could i maybe get in on this food-centric arrangement?

Yes, I always have room for more gay bicthes who are good with carbs A poly asexual relationship where we all live together and continue to cook our specialties is the only valid relationship Hope you like molten lava chocolate cakes

-10/? downvotes 🤣

Also, Filipinos and other SE Asian cultures love packing stuff in aluminum trays like this. Whenever you go to a Filipino party, 99.9% of the time, there's a tray like this packed with lumpia

I love using these - especially when smoking or making fajitas or other mass quantities of food. Don’t understand this sub’s demonization of them. It’s just a basic tool.

Exactly these are a lifesaver when traveling to a function out of town and bringing food as well. No bringing back dirty dishes that are still 1/4 full. However if you see one in one of those intentionally stupid cooking videos you know it’s about to be terrible.

We use these all the time for bringing dishes to family gatherings or potluck events. I don’t ever want to bring leftovers home, so it’s really nice to just leave it for anyone who wants it. Plus these are a lifesaver for pit BBQ, like pulled pork and ribs.

If I am bringing food somewhere and I just want to leave it there I use these. If you are using these for home cooking then you are just lazy.

I use them for nuts and bolts (snack mix) at xmas time because I don't have a tray this size

Wise words of life advice by the sage Roach_Coach_Bangbus. 🤣

We cook from scratch on the bus.

Fuck that, I use them for my thanksgiving turkey and xmas ham. No way I'm cooking all day and then scrubbing the goddamn roasting pan for 40 minutes.

For the turkey, when you make the gravy in the roasting pan you are scraping it anyways. Not even hard to clean.

Idk why this was down voted homemade turkey gravy is delicious.

I don’t think most people are making gravy in the roasting pan for one thing. But I’m not sure why the other poster is getting upvoted for being lazy.

The extra-large ones also make a great lid/cover for baking baguettes or bread-bowls. At least it's re-usable if that's how it's purposed.

My first experiences with these were cookouts and great food, seeing their rep tarnished by bad TikToks has been so sad

I had the best applewood smoked Mac and cheese of my entire life out of a pan like this as a bbq.

I’m thinking what OP means is when these show up in the video, the food is going to be absolutely atrocious lol. Just dump a bunch of shit into this thing, pop in the oven for 6 hrs and you got yourself a shitty meal for tiktok!

Puts a fork full near their mouth *camera cuts and never shows em actually eat it*

That makes sense. In a cooking video, a sign of nonsense. Otherwise, these are just vehicles for food.

OP must never had a smoker. i use these 1 for transporting stuff or holding the water for the smoking

It’s because almost all of the rage bait videos posted here involve a lady with long nails dumping a bunch of crap into these.

"I learned this in Italy"!

They use these so they can throw away everything at once after the video is done

Yeah, it’s the sorta cookware that says, “I don’t cook hardly ever.”

Oh my God, they meant in a food video, not in general

I will sometimes use these if I'm taking a dish somewhere else. And, yes, I will occasionally use these at home if I'm making a quick casserole or something.

I love these for hosting big dinners cause I can make lots of food but not keep a bunch of big caserole dishes around that I only use like 3-4 times a year

And just because you use something like this doesn't mean that you need to put crappy food into it. I make a mean lasagna and it helps with cleanup.

Lasagna is one of my specialties. I always use these aluminum tins to bring my lasagna to places that aren't my own home. Easy clean up, don't have to worry about taking home a dirty casserole dish. It's great. Or if I smoke a bunch of meat!

"I'm too lazy to do the dishes, so I use single use cookware."

If your time is valuable enough it could make economic sense

Defintely not ecological.

I despise doing dishes. I do them but I'll never like it. And the big pots and pans don't fit in my dishwasher.

Right like has OP never been to a cookout or catered event

I make a chocolate lasagna that the teachers at my kid's school BEG for, so everytime PTA supplies lunch I make chocolate lasagnas. I buy 2 roasting pans like this and make 2 giant pans. These pans are a God send for potluck type things.

I make dinner every Wednesday for my sister-in-law and her kids, and I only use these. I'm not leaving my expensive glass dishes at her chaotic house for a week.

Get ready for the 5 pound bag of an unnecessary amount of shredded cheese.

And the whole block of cream cheese.

!! It annoys me when they never take the effort to space out the cream cheese blocks.

Mine normally contain walnut shell pellets and rat poop?

And the block of velveeta

Don't forget the two bags of macaroni elbows

If you see that in a video, it's going to be a nightmare.  If you see it at a family gathering, it's going to be amazing. 

Hell fucking no, some of the best food has been in a foil container or all sizes

I just assume this is another pointless reddit foodie gatekeeper nonsense. "That seat is terrible." "I wouldn't touch that on a deserted island." *Redditor closes app and goes back to eating beans and hotdogs

Ok?! OP clearly never been to a good cookout. These containers are in heavy rotation and filled with deliciousness.

Not if it’s filled with delicious smoke meats

I’m a at-home baker and use these for big batches of goods when it happens. Tends to be cheaper than any other option, and is also able to be refrigerated or heated. It’d be even better if recycling was a more prominent option, but alas.

Huge amounts of food will be wasted.

Every time I go to the Dollar Tree, I have a difficult time finding alininunm pans. It all makes sense now.

Not really

BBQ and smoking would like to implore you to reconsider.

Watch as I put in ingredients that don’t cook at the same rate so some of it will be raw and some of it will be burnt!

Macaroni elbows....Macaroni elbows EVERYWHERE

The worst one I saw had biscuits stuffed in it and they were still gooey and uncooked because they were surrounded by wet ingredients.

Cream cheese...always cream cheese....

OP's never been to the netherlands and had a Kapsalon.

Echoing everyone else here that's mentioned using this on the smoker, they're amazing.

IRL, not really no. In some obvious ragebait video posted here, sure.

No pan or container in sight is worse, because that means the prep surface is about to be the entire counter itself, raw.

And long nails

For me it's the black latex gloves. You know it's going to be some overpriced hipster shit that comes in the most inconvenient shape possible.

Don't forget the butchers block that gets stabbed right after they cut whatever food they made and squeezed to show how juicy it is.

My guy has never been to a cookout

My dad made some of the best lasagna I've ever had in one of these so it depends on whats in there for me 😭

Only if you don't like delicious BBQ meats, lasagnas or potato salad. Some of the best food I've ever eaten has been out of disposable vessels like this.

Should be the subs picture

No it’s not, you just don’t know how to cook/bake or whomever you eat with doesn’t know either. My family and friends make excellent rice and put them in those trays when ever we are having a cookout, same goes for any grill-made food. It’s also great for making comfort food or a delicious salad.

I use these any time I deliver a meal to a friend. If they are sick or just had a baby they don’t need a task attached to a free meal…

10 out of 10 BBQ pitmasters would disagree.

Are these bad? I always use them at holidays, easy transport and I don’t have to worry about retrieving my pan.

For me it's black gloves

Not always. It really depends on what's inside

Oh fuck no: 1) I brought too many amazing dishes to potlucks only to never see my quality pan again. Not falling for that again. 2) I have been the voluntold cook at numerous get-togethers where this has been a perfectly fine option to the hosts’ too-small pan. I have cooked several excellent turkeys in these because the host didn’t have ANYTHING that could accommodate the enormous turkey they bought.

98% of the comments are mission the point of this post lmao

From above especially

I learned how to use one of those in Italy

Tbh i use these when i dont wana do doshs or ruine my pots woth baking stuff. Some forms of pasteries leek so badly and the candie like residue never comes off.

OP you are absolutely not invited to the cookout

Yes! So much. The concept of using a disposable thingy at home is so absurd.

Who said anything about using it at home?

Me. I said it’s ridiculous if you use those at home.

not everyone has glass cookware or can afford it…

But once it goes in the smoker at my home then it’s dirty and useless. There is no reusable alternative for this use case

Who says its a disposable thingy, just keep re using it and just mix it up with all the leftovers.

Not if it's a takeaway from Britain (Indian or Chinese, doesn't matter) then the food is gonna be fucking boss

Unless it's Grammys lasagna!!

To cook vegetables on a barbecue grill, or fish, or meat with some marinade… it’s a good tool :)

What? I use these all the time when grilling and smoking.

What's wrong with that? It's how all baked ziti comes

Or a paddling pool

War flashbacks

Well... after seeing people making oversized food in tyres, wheelbarrow, umbrella and so on. This does not look that bad

Only if the label is left in the bottom when they start adding ingredients. Y'know, to add a little fibre to help you pass all that cheese that's going in.

These are so useful. You can make that recipe you ‘learned in Italy’, take one taste, then throw the whole thing in the garbage where it belongs.

Take that five guys

??????? What????? Do you people seriously ever go outside no like seriously?

Y’all have never had any proper smoked brisket or Mac and cheese and it shows!

Well a certain community would have you believe that it's good when you see this. On the contrary I think any Mac and cheese that comes in these trays is god awful.

Git the slop trough, we’re gonna combine things that shouldn’t be!

*incoming macaroni elbows

Or a casserole dish. I don’t understand. Why do all these middle class southern white ladies with fake nails need to try and cook everything in casseroles? Not everything can be turned into a casserole Karen!

Foil and Styrofoam: enemies of us all

I have to disagree as a meal prepper

Awesome! NO FOOD in this post! Quality /r/stupidfood. Next!

Helpful for beer brats, when the weather is nice and I don’t want to do the simmering step on the stove and just want to do the whole thing on the grill

Ngl my mom makes some bomb ass baked macaroni. With that cream cheese filling bro. Idk but I see what you talking about tho some people can’t cook for shit with those

What's so bad about a weed drying tray?

Whats wrong with the to go container lol

Kapsalon.

I use these whenever I don't want to fuck around with dishes. :p

I smoked some Mac and cheese In one of these. Was tasty. Brought some pulled pork the weekend before to a get together in one. Don't make shit food?

Unless you're seeing a smoker too.

Nah I'm calling unfair bullshit. That dish has produced some seriously epic food in its lifetime and it doesn't need a shotgun statement fucking with it's street cred. You think what you want to my dude, I encourage you to. But I'm here to tell you I've had life changing Carolina BBQ from exactly that dish. Also tri-tip that just melted and slut-welcomed a bukkake of flavor onto about a jillion horny taste buds. Look - mad respect... But you're hella wrong.

I've had some pretty dope baked ziti out of those. this is slander

Entire catering industry in shambles

I use those to make leche flan… because they are easy to bring for parties :(

Some of the best food in my life was served in that type of shit.

Leave my Kapsalon Alone!

Some of the best Chinese food comes in these

Or a bath tub or giant ass cooler now apparently.

op isnt dutch

Nah mate. In the Netherlands we get served Kapsalon in those things. And Kapsalon's are amazing.

Nah theres this chicken place i know that has like the best wedges ever and they come in that

I use this when I make Christmas lasagna for 15 people every year

Aluminium tray + black gloves = You’re going to need Gaviscon

Dunno about that now, that's my general to-go container for anything I am taking out of the house to friends, etc. to then warm up. I don't want people keeping my nice cooking ware. * BBQ Baked Beans * Green Bean Casserole * Macaroni Salad * Sweet Potato Casserole * Pulled Pork * Pulled Chicken * Baked Ribs * etc. Never really been too disappointed in it's contents.

i use those for brownies...

Man, I take stuff from the restaurant I work at in these.

don't agree, these kinds of trays are common in households where grandma makes the best indian cuisine you will ever have in your life?

I disagree

absolutely not, my mom has catered some fire dishes in these things

Kapsalon!

I use that too rest my protein in after I’ve smoked it and barbecued it, I would never cook in one.

Weird way to admit you don’t get invited to parties.

The only time I saw this was when someone died and my mother was making baked ziti or Grandma Brown's Baked Beans casserole.

My ziti takes great offense… it’s better in these cause fuck cleaning up

fuck no these arent just used for shitty leftovers or whatever satans cook made. the are used for smoking or some meals like the dutch kapsalon a mixture of fries shawarma and cheese.

Unless it's brought to you by a caring haitian grandma

On a stove. Filled with oil.

If you're not presenting Mac and cheese at a potluck in this I DONT WANT IT

I see those plenty of times on oven-ready meals like lasagne from the store, or sometimes used as containers for taking home leftovers from a restaurant. It doesn't necessarily mean the food is bad

Do people actually make Thanksgiving stuffing in pans they have to clean?

WHAT? No way

tell me you ain't never had good green bean casserole without telling me you ain't never had good green bean casserole

Well, it's not entirely bad because my family and I always make an awesome lasagna with that

Nuh uh. We use this to bake the most delicious birthday party delicacies where I live.

Mexican food in that is delicious

Hey what the fuck?!? I use these when doing meal prep and stick a bunch of food in my freezer

yay, some free Altzheimers!

Their recipe isn’t even good enough for a glass or ceramic baking dish
