Prodyne Appetizers On Ice with Lids, 16", Clear

This is the most versatile appetizer tray that I've ever come across. It can hold plenty of ice to keep perishables cold, the tight-fitting lids will definitely keep insects off your food and the bottom section can be used without ice and inner trays as a 3-segment chip or pretzel tray - plus it rotates ala lazy-susan.A bonus that isn't mentioned in the description is that when the center dip bowl is removed, there is a hole in the center large enough to a accommodate even the biggest umbrella poles! I use this tray in the center of a patio table with the umbrella going through it, and the lazy-susan feature means that my guests don't have to leave their seats to get at the snacks they want. I line the bottom trays with either clear plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and clean-up's a breeze without having to remove the umbrella to bring the bottom tray inside to clean it (although if spills occur, cleaning's a must!)One thing to be aware of is that the box states that this tray, save for the dip cup, is made from polystyrene; prolonged exposure to sunlight tends to yellow and break down this particular plastic over time, so I intend to keep mine covered with something opaque when leaving it outside and unused.These same trays are available from certain big-box home furnishing stores, but as far as I know only Amazon.com has the model with lids, and for the same price as those retailers charge for the lidless model. I wouldn't consider getting one of these without the lids, as this allows it be used outside as well as inside and thus vastly increases it's utility... score one for Amazon!All in all, an excellent design, well-executed and reasonably priced. I would be completely willing to pay more for it if the manufacturer considered making it from acrylic instead of polystyrene (acrylic holds up better somewhat better), but that's a minor issue. God willing, we will be enjoying its use on our patio this summer, and many summers to come.

I bought this to use at a daytime party that was going to be extended. I was concerned about keeping items served cool for an extended period of time and this gadget was perfect. Three different sections made it easy to separate items as well as replace ice, break down and clean. And the cherry on top is the Lazy Susan aspect. I look forward to using again!

Best fruit and veggie tray ever! I put ice in it. Put the trays in it. I fill them with fruits and veggies. Put the lids on and leave it out all day...and repeat every day. My family is actually eating a whole tray every day! I didn't even know it spins! I am excited that everyone is eating healthier.Edit: So I would put the trays in the dishwasher on the top shelf and the large piece on the bottom shelf since the bottom of the dishwasher got the hottest. Then, one day, someone put a tray on the bottom shelf and a tray warped. I had to buy a whole other tray set. Best decision ever. I rotate them every day. I am just missing one tray from the original set. I made sure I am the only one who washes it though. Large piece on bottom, trays and dressing cup on top. Thats how my dish washer works anyway. I make sure it doesn't get super hot too when I wash it. If it helps. Its easy to clean this way. Yes, my family makes me make a tray EVERY day. Sometimes, I skip the ice in one tray, and put in some pita chips with hummus, or even some nuts.

Just as described

We throw two outside parties each summer. This was perfect for appetizers and veggies a couple of hours.

This lazy Susan holder, was sturdy and kept our fruit chilled and crisp during an outdoor summer party. Love the clear design and is a great size to hold enough fruit! It was easy to clean and set up. I kept the original box to store away after using so it doesn’t take up much cabinet space.

This is a great product. I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice. It stayed cold for a LONG time (3-5 hours) on an 85 degree day. It's perfect for anything that isn't "juicy", in other words veggies and that kind of thing. The compartments are vented, so if you put anything at all drippy in them, it goes thru onto the ice. (I had marinated some shrimp and the marinade ended up in the ice compartment.) It isn't a huge deal because there are three different ice compartments, each with two vented trays above them, if that makes sense. I just made sure that the two upper portions that drained into that ice compartment both contained the shrimp, so there wouldn't be any flavor contamination. (I hope that made sense!) Anyway - I highly recommend this product and I am definitely going to purchase more Prodyne acrylic on-ice serving pieces. I purchased a salad bowl that had an ice compartment from a local store and the quality was no where near what I received from Prodyne.
