Kraft Food Trays: Half lb to 3lb Sizes Explained
The DiscountTillRolls.ie TeamKraft food trays are named by roughly how much food they hold. The half lb tray suits a small portion of chips or a side, the 1lb tray a regular portion of chips or nachos, the 2lb and 2.5lb trays loaded fries and hot dogs with sides, and the 3lb tray sharing portions. Open trays are quick to serve and easy to eat from standing up, which is why festivals and food trucks love them.
If people are eating on the go, a tray beats a box. No lid to fight with, just grab and eat.
