{"product_id":"aps-natural-slate-buffet-tray-black","title":"APS Natural Slate Buffet Tray Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe APS natural slate tray is a black slate buffet and display tray in two sizes: GN 1\/1 (530x325mm) and GN 1\/3 (325x176mm). Each slab is cut from real slate, so the grain and tonal variation, ranging through greys and anthracite, differ slightly from piece to piece. That variation is part of the appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe surface is sealed to reduce staining and make cleaning easier in a busy service environment. Slate is porous, so the seal matters: it helps the tray hold up to moist foods, garnishes and dressings without absorbing colour or odour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trays are designed to sit within the APS VALO wooden box riser system, which suits operators building a layered or tiered buffet display. The straight-edged profile keeps the look clean and structured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed slate surface resists staining during food service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural grain variation gives each tray a unique appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGN 1\/1 and GN 1\/3 sizing integrates with standard buffet and display systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight edges suit structured, formal presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for cold food display, cheeseboards and charcuterie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GN 1\/1 tray weighs 3.9kg and the GN 1\/3 tray 1.29kg, so factor the weight in when planning tiered displays and handling across a long service. Slate is not dishwasher safe, so clean by hand with a damp cloth and mild detergent and avoid abrasive scourers. These trays are not suitable for hot food directly off the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are building a buffet display and want to talk through how these fit into a wider setup, call the team on 01304 827272.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APS","offers":[{"title":"GN 1\/1 530x325mm","offer_id":56806118424958,"sku":"HY273","price":13.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GN 1\/3 325x176mm","offer_id":58431713739134,"sku":"HY277","price":4.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/afeec6674b5599a291c8ccfaf30a2e47.jpg?v=1768280130","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/aps-natural-slate-buffet-tray-black","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
