A genius gift for any griller. The bottom tray is for marinating or just getting the raw food to the grill. The printed top tray is melamine. It acts as a lid while marinating or carrying. Then after cooking, it will transport the food to the table without contaminating. It's lovely!

It is so pleasingly presented, too. It's a winner.
