Carlisle cafeteria trays are turning into my newest gads-do-these-help- us -a-lot utensils. We have one color, black, for our own kitchen use like under the blender, two colors, red and blue, for easily cleaned ferret things like when I needed to make sure that Hilbert's bedding would not get wet if a dish overturned during his illness, and brown for when the ferrets might need a flat but cleaner way to have papers when ill. Amazon sells them for around $2.75 to $3.50 each depending on design and color with shipping added later but shipping is not terrible given their weight (about $11.00 shipping for about a dozen), and we had excellent results with them coming through Amazon from ReStockIt. These are turning out to be useful in so many ways that it's spooky.
