Know before you buy
Yes, the tray is food-safe. It is crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, making it suitable for serving appetizers, cheeses, or desserts directly on the surface.
To preserve the mirror-polished finish, hand wash the tray using a soft cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the harsh cycles can dull the shine and damage the surface over time.
No, this tray is not oven or microwave safe. It is designed primarily for serving and decorative purposes, and the materials are not intended to withstand high heat.
The handles are made of Bakelite, which is durable and comfortable to grip. While they are designed for carrying, they are not intended to be used in high-heat environments like an oven.
No, the tray does not feature a non-slip surface. Because of its polished stainless steel construction, we recommend placing it on a stable, flat surface when in use.
