Why this cutlery trays & rack earns its place
Cutlery service in high-volume settings is a constant challenge: keeping it clean, organised by type, protected from dust and easy for guests to grab without slowing service. This Araven tray solves it with purpose-built compartments for knives, forks, dessert spoons and tea spoons — four distinct sections, each holding the right piece, each visible at a glance through the transparent lid.
The lid isn't cosmetic. It keeps dust, debris and stray food particles off your cutlery between service periods and during busy rushes, which matters in a canteen or buffet where cutlery sits out for extended stretches. The built-in handle on top means guests and staff can lift the lid without wrestling with it, speeding up service and reducing spills. At 1/1 GN size (325 × 530 × 100 mm), it fits neatly on any gastronorm-compatible trolley or service station, so you're not improvising with mismatched trays.
The tray itself has side handles too — quick and easy to carry the whole unit from prep to service line, or from storage to your buffet counter. It stacks flat when empty or in pairs when full, saving storage space in compact kitchens. Dishwasher and freezer safe means you can pre-chill it before service or run it through standard wash cycles; the dark grey finish hides stains and wear better than lighter colours.
