Know before you buy
Because this tray is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it with mild soap and warm water. To maintain the wood's finish, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking.
The tray is crafted from natural maple wood and is food-safe. It is designed for direct contact with appetizers, though it is best practice to avoid leaving highly acidic or staining foods on the wood for extended periods.
No, this tray is not oven or microwave safe. It is intended strictly for serving purposes and should not be exposed to high heat.
Given its compact size, this tray is best suited for small portions, such as a few pieces of cheese, a handful of crackers, or a small selection of hors d'oeuvres. It is an ideal choice for individual servings or small, curated snack displays.
The tray does not have a non-slip surface or rubber feet. You may want to place it on a stable, flat surface or a placemat to prevent it from sliding during use.
