The Mid-Size Tray in a Shared-Platter Program

Shared rice and grill platters are portioned by table size, and a single tray diameter cannot serve a two-person order and a ten-person banquet equally well. Item # WY350 sits at R2 in a four-size series that runs from 289mm to 565mm, covering the middle of the menu: family orders, small gatherings, and restaurant platters for tables of four to six. Buyers stocking the full series give their customers one presentation style across every portion size.

Wall Depth for Mounded Rice and Sauced Dishes

Rice platters are served mounded, not level. The 35.5mm wall on this tray contains a heaped center portion of biryani or mandi plus the meat arranged on top, without rice spilling over the edge when the tray is carried or the first servings are taken. The same depth holds grilled meats resting in their juices and sauced roast dishes, which makes the tray workable across Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Western catering menus.

Wrinkle-Wall Strength Under Load

The crimped wrinkle-wall profile is structural. Each fold in the sidewall acts as a vertical rib, stiffening the tray against the outward pressure of a heavy rice load and against twisting when the tray is lifted by one edge. Combined with the full-curl vertical rim, the tray carries several kilograms of food from the kitchen pass to the table without a rigid support underneath—an important saving in labor and washing for high-volume restaurants.

Oven and Grill to Table in One Piece

The food-grade aluminum body tolerates oven roasting and covered grill finishing, so the tray works as the cooking vessel as well as the serveware. A whole roasted chicken, a grilled meat selection, or a rice dish finished in the oven goes directly to the table in the same tray it cooked in. After service the tray recycles through standard aluminum streams, closing out the event or the table turn with no washing step.

Series Coverage for Distributors

The R1-R4 series spans 289mm, 350mm, 444mm, and 565mm with the same wall style and rim, so distributors can supply a restaurant group or a catering chain from a single product family. Trays ship nested in bulk cartons, and the nested profile keeps container loading efficient on export orders. Private-label packing and mixed-size container loads are available for volume buyers.

FAQs

What dishes is the WY350 catering tray used for?

The 350mm round format with a 35.5mm wall suits shared rice platters such as biryani, mandi, and kabsa, plus BBQ and grilled meat selections, roasted whole dishes, and family-style sides. The depth contains mounded portions through carrying and table service.

How does the R2 size fit within the tray series?

R2 is the mid size in a four-tray series running 289mm, 350mm, 444mm, and 565mm. It covers family orders and tables of four to six, with smaller and larger formats sharing the same wall style and rim for a consistent presentation across portion sizes.

Does the tray need a support underneath when carrying?

No. The wrinkle-wall profile stiffens the sidewall like vertical ribs, and the full-curl vertical rim locks the top edge. The tray carries a full load of rice and meat without a rigid support tray, which removes a washing step in restaurant service.

Can the tray be used for cooking as well as serving?

Yes. The food-grade aluminum body handles oven roasting and covered grill finishing, so the tray can be the cooking vessel and the serveware in one. A dish goes from heat to table without transfer, and the tray recycles after service.

What bulk and private-label packing options are available?

Trays ship nested in bulk cartons optimized for export container loading. We support private-label packing and mixed-size loads across the R1-R4 series for volume buyers, with samples available before you confirm a full order.
