The standard pack tray is limited in depth but the dome-shaped lid increases the pack depth from 70mm to 130mm. The tray has an integrated base to allow liquid to drain away during cooking. The Scorpius can also seal the trays under modified atmosphere (MAP) so that the keeping qualities are extended to around eight days of shelf life.
