Post Removing plastic coating from aluminum containers
Hi All
Greetings from New Zealand (Rightful Home of the Rugby World Cup).
This should be my first post here.
I've been following Vinnies builds and they are sweet by the way however I have a question.
The aluminum t/away containers we have here (and I suspect you have) have a thin plastic coating do you
A) remove the coating
B) leave in place
If A how do you remove that coat coating I've tried to scrap then lift it with no real success.

Please help.

Hi Chris
Welcome to the site.
The Tray's I use are just the Foil No plastic coating.
I use takeaway or Trays from Frozen supermaket items. Just give a very good clean,
never had any problem.

Chris, try the hardware department of your local supermarket. You should be able to find sets of foil pie dishes etc., that don't have plastic coatings. Very cheap too. :)

Hi Chris

Foodtown have plenty of cheap foil dishes/trays as suggested above.
