Dough storage trays

Re: Dough storage trays

As for 10 trays, I do 30-40 pizzas several parties a year.....the trays make it very easy to stay organized.

Re: Dough storage trays

I only put 4-5 balls per tray. 1-2 days in fridge and they rise and hold shape and do not touch. They " fall" and spread out and touch days 3-4. I typically oil the bottom a bit but not always. They don't stick much at all. I use the plastic scrape as needed to lift the dough out and move it to a floured surface.

Absolutely worth the $$ if these will fit in your fridge. I use cheap pint wonton soup containers for freezing. Bought in bulk at a restaurant supply store.

Re: Dough storage trays

I have a couple of those dough-mate trays and love them. I can't fathom what I would do with 10, but you must be having some large and/or frequent pizza parties!

I do struggle sometimes getting the dough out when it grows together. I usually try not to let it get that big on the final rise, it just gets hard to handle. I only wait 45-60 mins after balling the dough. After reading this thread, maybe I should give it another try.

Re: Dough storage trays

Thanks for the follow up. Do the dough balls rest on flour in the tray bottom? Glad the trays are working for you. I have hesitated over buying them because of the price. I think I may be ready to give them a try. Thanks again, Bruce

Re: Dough storage trays

quick follow up - 1 yr later and I now have 10 of the dough mate trays. cannot say enough good things about them. I love how they stack/interlock. easy to clean. and they hold dough in fridge for 3-4 days with almost zero skin. and I can pull the whole stack out for a party and the lower trays stay cold for hours unless/until I uncover them (I usually uncover a tray or two at least 30-45mins before I am ready to use in summer weather outside).

Re: Dough storage trays

I just pulled 13 pizzas out of these after 4 days in the fridge. Barely any skin on them...definite fan of these.

Re: Dough storage trays

I ordered and received a couple of trays. I'll sure be easier than the Ziploc storage containers.. Fingers crossed on how they go through the dishwasher.

Thanks for the link!

Re: Dough storage trays

maybe not Euro fridges....but the artisan trays fit in a 36" standard depth fridge perfectly and they even fit sideways in a 42" or 48" side by side built-in/counter depth fridge.

24 inches wide may be too large for most home refrigerators

...Especially English ones!

Re: Dough storage trays

i just got a set of 6. they are high quality although a little pricey. they are definitely restaurant quality. they should be good for 6 balls per tray.

Re: Dough storage trays

Well, all this talk about dough trays sent me to Ace Mart today to buy some appropriate food trays with tight lids. So now I am ready to try them but I need cooler weather! We are booked for a "dinner club" party in late September so it can't be longer than that!

I will be candid Splatgirl (I agree you MUST share the story of that name - it is priceless and conjures up visions like my first (charred) accidental calzone!

I am intrigued VPN would let anyone get away with a cookie cutter! That doesn't sound right!

Be well!
