Nordic Ware Insulated Base Cooking and Serving Tray (a 1940's classic!)

Designed for both indoors and outdoors, the Nordic Ware cooking and serving tray with insulated base is a double tray designed to be able to cook on the barbecue or fireplace and bring the food to the table as they do in the best restaurants: the way more practical, AND keeping food warm!

This Nordic Ware tray, known there as the Steak Server Tray , has been a classic of the brand since its inception, since the 1940s, a testament to its effectiveness and practicality. It is manufactured in the United States and is composed of:

• A stainless steel tray , designed and suitable for cooking on the barbecue and in the oven. It is ideal for preparing all types of grilled meats and vegetables, toasting bread or roasting some peppers.
• A plate holder base , which will insulate the tray when taking it to the table after cooking. The food will stay hot thanks to the insulating effect exerted by this base, also generating a hot air chamber inside when you place the hot tray.

It is available in 2 versions:

1. With a grooved tray, ideal for meats: the grooves on the base allow air to circulate underneath the meat, exerting a perfect caramelization effect, ideal for meat lovers (also, you will cook everything in it and you can make barbecues! of delicious vegetables with the same effect!). Interior measurements: 26.5 cm long x 18 wide x 1.3 cm deep.
2. With smooth tray: for all types of food, it is a tray that, apart from cooking all types of food, you can use to serve on a daily basis from fruit to appetizers and salads. Interior measurements: 33.7 cm long x 23.8 cm wide x 1.3 cm deep.

IMPORTANT: You will see that both models have a silicone strip between the stainless steel tray and the plate holder base. This strip is protective and must be removed before using the tray .

Grades:

• You can also use the pan to cool! Place the stainless steel tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. After time, remove it and place it on the plate holder. Arrange the ice cream bar, salad or whatever you want to keep cold and serve it at the table. You will see how the food stays cold longer!
• If at any time required, you can also heat the tray on the gas or ceramic hob, over low heat, for 1 or 2 minutes maximum.
• Before placing the meat in the tray, brush it with oil on both sides, and make sure to put it in when the tray is already hot.
