Anti-rollover guide: 3 overlooked details
Depth trap

Roasting a whole chicken requires a tray ≥15cm deep (juice splashing is reduced by 90%)
❌ The risk of juice overflow increases by 300% for baking trays shallower than 5cm
Surface technology
Frosted surface: heat absorption efficiency +25% (suitable for barbecue)
Glossy surface: water lock rate +15% (suitable for baking)
Certification minefield
⚠️ Industrial aluminum products without FDA/LFGB certification have a 47% higher risk of heavy metal precipitation
