Arthur Court Designs Fleur-De-Lis Tray

Yes, the tray is crafted from a food-safe aluminum alloy, so you can safely place appetizers, cheeses, or other food items directly on the surface.

To preserve the finish, hand wash the tray with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents can dull or pit the aluminum surface over time.

The integrated handles are designed for a secure grip, though because they are part of the metal casting, they are best suited for carrying lighter loads like appetizers or drinks rather than heavy, hot entrees.

While the aluminum alloy is durable, it conducts heat efficiently. If you place hot items directly on the tray, the metal will become hot to the touch, so it is best used for room-temperature or chilled foods.

The textured surface adds visual interest, but it does require a bit more attention than a smooth tray. A soft-bristled brush or cloth is usually sufficient to clean around the fleur-de-lis detailing if food gets caught in the crevices.
