HENDI aluminium pastry tray 60 x 40 cm with four edges

A pastry tray with four raised edges holds baked goods securely while they are displayed or transported. The flat base and low sides create a shallow platform that keeps items visible and accessible without stacking them. Because the tray is open, air circulates around the pastries, preventing condensation and keeping crusts crisp. The edges stop items sliding off during movement, so the tray can be carried between the kitchen and the counter or moved around a buffet without spilling.

The operator places pastries directly on the tray, arranging them in rows or groups. Once loaded, the tray is lifted by the edges and carried to the display area. After service, the tray is emptied and cleaned. The low profile allows the tray to slide into a cupboard or stack with others of the same size, saving space when not in use.

The tray is made of aluminium, a metal chosen for its light weight and resistance to corrosion. Aluminium conducts heat evenly, so the tray does not warp when it moves between hot ovens and cool counters. The surface is smooth, which makes wiping easy and prevents food sticking. The four edges are folded up from the same sheet, giving a continuous rim without seams or welds.

The tray measures 600 mm by 400 mm with a height of 20 mm. These dimensions create a footprint that fits standard bakery racks and worktops, while the 20 mm edge is tall enough to contain pastries without blocking the view. The weight of 0.262 kg means the tray can be carried with one hand, even when fully loaded, reducing strain on the operator.

Cleaning is done by hand with warm water and a mild detergent. The aluminium surface should be dried immediately to prevent water spots. The tray is not dishwasher-safe because the heat and detergent can dull the finish over time. When stored, the trays should be stacked with a cloth or paper between them to avoid scratching.
