ABSTRACT:
A disposable food serving tray is formed of a single sheet of flat stock material, cut and folded to provide a tray with four upstanding walls for the containment of an article of food therein. The folding pattern provides leakproof corners, precluding leakage or spillage of liquids (melted butter, water, etc.) from the tray. One end of the tray includes a raised support, or alternatively a retaining passage, therein, providing for the support or retention of any handle means (skewer or husk extending from an ear of corn, etc.). The present tray is preferably formed of coated paper stock to provide economy and to preclude soaking through of the material, but alternatively other materials (plastic sheet, etc.) may be used. The present tray is particularly adapted to dispensing with foods typically provided at carnivals, fairs, and other outdoor gatherings and exhibitions, and the inexpensive nature of the tray provides for the economical disposal of the tray after a single use, along with any inedible portions of the food product contained therein (skewer, corn cob and husk, etc.). While the present tray is particularly adapted to use with roasted or boiled corn on the cob, it is also quite useful with other elongate articles of food (corn dogs with skewers, etc.).
