The starter and side foil

The No.2 is the starter-and-side workhorse in the foil range. Indian and Bangladeshi takeaways use it to bag-out naan bread, samosas, spring rolls, onion bhajis and smaller curry sides where a no.1 foil container looks stingy and a No.6 main over-allocates portion and cost. Kitchens running mixed banquet menus typically pair one No.2 per starter alongside the No.6 or No.9 main, which is why it leaves the shelf in the same weekly cadence as the mains.
