Professional oven trays in the kitchen are highly versatile, used for roasting, braising and stewing, used for all cooking procedures that do not require food boiling. The oven tray can be made of copper or clay, but the most used materials are aluminum and stainless steel used for both induction and gas hobs. The professional oven tray is fundamental, from the Greek téko (“liquefy and melt”) and from the Latin tego (“cover”) is a kind of hybrid that stands between the pan and the pot with two small ergonomic handles on the sides and equipped with a lid. It's used for foods that don't have to be boiled and especially for recipes that require longer cooking such as meat sauce or stews and recipes based on vegetables, meat or fish soups.
