Acacia Egg Tray With Handle

Product Brief Description

1. Fifteen Recessed Slots Milled In A Row

Fifteen round recesses are routed into the face of this acacia egg tray in three columns of five, each cut deep enough that an egg sits down to its shoulder instead of rolling across a flat board. Because every egg keeps its own pocket, shells stop knocking together when the tray is lifted or slid along a shelf. The rim between the slots is wide enough to take a thumb, so one egg lifts out without disturbing the rest.

2. Handle, Leather Loop And Board Outline

A shaped handle rises from one end, cut from the same blank as the face, with a hole drilled through it and a leather loop threaded in so the piece can hang on a hook. The body is a soft cornered rectangle that sits flush against a wall or stacks face to face with a second unit. Nothing stands proud of the surface, so a wooden egg holder of this shape slides under a shelf or into a drawer.

3. Sizes, Grain And Acacia Stock

Three sizes cover the usual retail spread, at 38 by 18 by 1.5 cm, 43 by 18 by 1.5 cm and 43 by 33 by 1.5 cm, and the 1.5 cm thickness keeps the egg tray light once it is full. Acacia brings warm brown bands with a darker streak down the middle, and the face is sanded fine then finished, which keeps yolk and kitchen grease from sinking into the pores. Tone shifts slightly between blanks, as solid timber does.

4. Counter And Fridge Storage

On a counter the tray keeps eggs out of the carton and in sight, which is the point of a kitchen storage tray: you can see what is left before you start cooking. It also fits a fridge shelf, where the low profile means a bowl of greens or a second kitchen storage tray can sit above it. Cooks who bake often keep one egg tray for eggs and one for shallots or lemons.

5. Breakfast And Brunch Service

Set on a buffet or a brunch table, the same piece becomes a serving surface, so boiled eggs, deviled halves or a line of soft boiled eggs arrive already arranged and guests take one without a bowl being passed around. Cafes and hotel breakfast rooms use an egg tray to hold a top up within reach of the pass. The leather loop lets staff hang it on a rail between services.

6. Gift, Retail And Market Display

Packed as a single piece, this acacia egg tray reads as a housewarming or Easter gift rather than a kitchen basic, and the flat face takes a card or a branded sleeve without covering the slots. At retail the trays stack face to face, so a shelf holds several without wasting carton height. Farm shops stand them upright with the handle up, and the grain shows from the aisle.

7. Care, Oil And Packing

Hand wash the wooden egg holder in warm water with a little soap, rinse the slots and dry it straight away so water does not sit in the recesses; do not soak it and never put it in a dishwasher. A light coat of mineral oil every few months keeps the colour even and stops the recess rims drying pale. Each unit is packed separately, and cartons take dividers so the edges cannot knock.

8. Custom Logo, Sizes And Wholesale

Logos are laser marked or engraved on the back, or on the handle where the mark stays visible while the piece hangs. Slot count, slot diameter and board size can all be changed, so a custom egg tray can be built around quail eggs, duck eggs or a mixed retail set, and a wooden egg holder range can carry one handle shape across three sizes. Minimum order is 500 pieces, samples take 5 to 7 days, and bulk runs ship in 25 to 30 days.
