A food tray is a shallow platform designed for carrying food items. It is larger than a salver tray, a smaller version commonly used for lighter and smaller servings, and it can be made from a number of materials, including silver, brass, sheet iron, wood, melamine, and papier-mâché. Trays are flat, but have raised edges to stop food and plates from sliding off of them. They are made in a variety of shapes, but are usually found in oval or rectangular forms, sometimes containing cutout or attached handles that can be used to carry them.
Food trays don't have to be dull carriers of meals from the kitchen to the table. You can use these items as palettes for artistic expression.
