What material should my tray be made of?

It is entirely up to you. You can buy trays in plastic, melamine, wood, and many other materials. A plastic tray is practical since it can be easily wiped if needed, while a wooden tray can be really elegant to serve cold cuts and snacks on.

Trays

Trays are especially practical to have at home when it comes to table setting and serving. With a tray, you can carry both more crockery and food for the dinner table, but you can also use a tray as a trivet during a dinner or party.
