The invention concerns a tin for foodstuffs, the tin comprising a base (10) and a peripheral wall (20) which projects from the base and surrounds an inner space (30). The upper edge of the wall delimits all around an opening (31) in the inner space (30), the inner space (30) widening conically upwards and the wall (20), which surrounds this inner space, merging at the bottom into the base (10) at a rounded portion (21). The merging region is designed such that a peripheral annular bearing line (11) is produced but, on the interior, the base is first further extended upwards and then a bearing surface (16) between 1.5 and 10 mm wide is produced by a downwardly projecting peripheral annular bead (15).
