I'd love to see a return of the aluminum containers for frozen dinners. Lazy Dog sells fresh-made take-home dinners (albeit at restaurant prices) in aluminum trays, and it seems superior to those plastic ones. Cooking the food in the plastics, having the tray be pretty much unrecyclable, being mostly limited to only cooking in the microwave as most of those plastic trays couldn't stand a 350F oven for long, pretty terrible experience overall with plastic IMO.
I never really lived in the time when those aluminum trays were a thing though. What were some of the big negatives, other than the obvious cost aspect? Durability? I guess microwavable issues?
