Great find at Resteraunt supply store

[mike johnson]

I recently started to do some cold smoking of chees and was looking for a tray of some kind that was flat with perforations that would make a cool design on the cheese. I found this new at a resteraunt supply store for about 10$. after i cut it in 1/2 ill have 1 for smoking cheese and another i can use for shrimp.oysters,nuts or anything else. I thoght id share this becase of all the uses in either hot or cold smoking.

Cool. Nice find. So what is it normally used for? It doesn't look like any kind of cooking utensil I can think of.

Hard to tell. But it looks like a sheet tray the pastry guys use for breads.

 I thought so too but the Edge/Sides look weird...JJ

I think angle and shading are causing issues with the look. When I zoomed in that is when I came up with my thought.


If you are going to use it for smoking, when I have used them in big smokers they do not allow a lot of smoke to the bottom. We usually still put the meat on a small rack, like a cake cooling rack. I have never done cheese, so it might do just fine. I am courious to see how things go for you.
