Gel Core Serving Platters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Thermal Tray Keeps Treats at the Proper Temperature

— January 27, 2009 — Art & Design
If you’ve ever attended or held a cocktail party that served temperature-sensitive foods, you’re no doubt aware of the dismal outcome when these treats aren’t kept at their proper temperature. Chilled treats that warm up and hot delicacies that cool down are suddenly rendered inedible.

The Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray is made up of a gel core sandwiched between the two-part thermal exterior. To use it, either place the tray in the oven for a few minutes to warm it up, or in the refrigerator to cool it down.

The tray’s non-electric design means that there are no wires, so you’re free to walk around the room with the tray if you like.
Trend Themes
1. Thermal Serving Trays - Non-electric and portable, these gel core serving trays can keep temperature-sensitive treats at their optimal temperature for extended periods of time.
2. Non-electric Appliances - The Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray exemplifies the growing trend toward non-electric appliances that are more eco-friendly and easier to use.
3. Multipurpose Kitchen Tools - The versatility of the Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray shows a trend towards multipurpose kitchen tools that can perform more than one task or function.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchen Appliances - The growing demand for eco-friendly, non-electric appliances provides opportunities for innovation in kitchen appliances.
2. Home Goods - The popularity of multipurpose home goods provides opportunities for innovation in products that can serve multiple functions or tasks.
3. Catering Services - The Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray provides opportunities for innovation in catering services and event planning by ensuring the quality and temperature of food stays consistent throughout an event.
