Trays – many people have asked where I got the workspace materials that we used in class. We used large Genpac foam meat trays and aluminum half sheet cake pans. I purchase the foam trays by the case from restaurant supply stores, you may never use up a case so I suggest you ask a butcher for one.  I get the sheet pans at Ocean State Job Lot (I have found they cost less there
