Cuisinart Grilling Prep & Serve Trays — Large 18.1×14.5 in, Red/Black Two-Tray Set, Dishwasher-Safe

The Cuisinart CPK-210 Grilling Prep and Serve Trays are a two-tray melamine set designed to keep raw and cooked foods separate while making prep, transfer, and cleanup faster.

Designed for backyard cooks and busy kitchens, this large 18.1" x 14.5" two-piece tray system simplifies the transition from prepping raw meat to serving finished food. The set includes a red tray for raw items and a black tray for finished foods; they nest for compact storage and are dishwasher-safe for fast cleanup. Constructed from shatter-resistant melamine, the trays resist heat transfer so finished foods can be handled safely and moved to the table without the trays becoming hot.

How do these trays prevent cross-contamination during grilling?

The system uses color-coded trays—red for raw meat, black for cooked—to create a clear visual separation between raw and ready-to-eat foods. Keeping two distinct surfaces reduces the chance of accidental contact and makes it easy for anyone helping at the grill to follow safe handling practices.

• Color-coding: red tray for raw, black tray for finished foods
• Separate surfaces avoid reuse of raw-prep area for cooked items
• Large surface area reduces crowding and cross-contact

Are these trays durable and safe for everyday use?

The trays are molded from durable, shatter-resistant melamine that stands up to frequent use while remaining lightweight. They are BPA-free and designed not to transfer heat quickly, so you can place hot, grilled food on the serving tray without the tray itself becoming uncomfortably hot.

• Shatter-resistant melamine construction for long-term use
• BPA-free materials for safer food contact
• Low heat transfer keeps the surface comfortable to handle

How easy are the trays to clean and store?

Both trays are dishwasher-safe, allowing quick cleanup after a cookout or meal prep session. They nest together when not in use to minimize pantry or cabinet footprint, and their slim 0.6" profile makes stacking with other prep items convenient.

• Dishwasher-safe for one-step cleanup
• Nests together to save storage space
• Slim profile fits most cabinets and pantry shelves

What size and capacity should I expect from the large model?

The large trays measure approximately 18.1" x 14.5" with a 0.6" depth, offering a broad prep surface suitable for family-sized portions or multiple cuts of meat. The generous footprint is also helpful for holding sides, buns, and utensils during a busy service.

• Large tray dimensions: 18.1" x 14.5" x 0.6"
• Ample space for several steaks, burgers, or chicken pieces
• Wide enough to carry food from prep area to grill or table

Who is this for: The Cuisinart CPK-210 Grilling Prep and Serve Trays are ideal for home grillers, backyard hosts, and anyone who wants an easy, hygienic way to manage raw-to-cooked food flow. They suit busy households, small-scale caterers, and families who prefer color-coded organization and quick cleanup without sacrificing a durable serving surface.
