A food preperation and distribution tray

摘要

A food preparation and distribution tray is disclosed. The tray is adapted to receive and support cups, such as paper "patty" cups, for preparing food products. The tray has a plurality of openings for receiving cups. The tray also includes a support means for supporting the sides of the cups at two or more heights of the cups. The sides of the cups are not otherwise supported. In use, the cups are positioned in the openings and the sides are supported at two or more heights of the cups by the support means. The support means may, in effect, suspend the cups above a base of the tray. Alternatively, the tray may be formed so that the cups are supported by the tray base and the support means.
