Tray

A tray is useful for serving food and beverages. People in the service industry are trained to hold a food tray properly with one hand while they set down serving plates for their customers. A standard serving tray has enough space to hold at least two plates and several beverage glasses.

A tray can be used for serving lovely meals at home

People who were sick at home would use a bed tray to be able to eat food while sitting on their beds. It was easy for the person taking care of them to give and take away the meal since all the utensils were already in one place. The patient could simply place the tray on their lap and then begin eating. It saved them the hassle of having to get up and walk to the dining room if they were too weak to do so. TV trays also grew popular because people liked to eat their meals on a tray table while watching television in their living rooms. A TV tray table could hold a food plate containing a full meal, some dessert, and a cup of soda.

A tray can be made from different materials

A wooden tray is a popular type of tray to serve food on. It usually comes with metal handles to make it easy to carry and transport. People like to use wood for their trays because it is durable enough to carry heavy meals and drinks. Wood is also easy to clean. People who like to celebrate parties at home tend to use a tiered tray more often. Tiered trays are stacked food trays that can store different food types at once. They are commonly used for tea parties and dinner events. Usually, small food snacks are placed on the top tier. It makes it easy for the guests to take as many snacks as they please. The bottom tier tends to be filled with larger foods like bread slices, bottled drinks, and cakes.
