Walmart Has a $5 Kitchen Find Our Editors Swear By

At Allrecipes, we’re big fans of entertaining guests, and Walmart has proved an exceptional one-stop shop for all our summer party needs. Between the Pioneer Woman’s Sweet Rose Stoneware Oval Serving Platter and the popular Dolly Parton Partyware collection, this mega-retailer knows what it’s doing. 

Now, Walmart has a serving tray that fits all our entertaining needs this season—and at just $5, we're grabbing two. 

Walmart’s Mainstays Acrylic Appetizer On Ice Serving Tray with Lid

Walmart recently released its Mainstays Acrylic Appetizer On Ice Serving Tray with Lid, and we can’t get enough of it. This acrylic tray, which comes in clear or blue, only costs $5, but it looks much more expensive.

The tray is incredibly versatile—it’s durable, has a lid for easy use, and looks great whether you're on the go or the host in charge of the menu. Plus, the built-in ice compartment underneath is perfect for keeping a variety of foods chilled.

The tray measures 13.37 x 13.37 x 3.5 inches, is BPA-free, and is perfect for indoor or outdoor use because it's acrylic. While it might look fragile, it’s dishwasher safe, making cleanup more effortless.  

Don't just take our word for it. Customers who have bought this serving tray agree. Many reviews say it is “Beautiful and functional,” a “Must-have food tray,” and a “Great summer/party go-to.” 

One customer summed it up perfectly: “Awesome serving trays—I got two, finally! Took a few times to order as they seemed to go out of stock after I ordered, but I'm so happy to have them for a party. Best of all, they nest inside each other. Lids snap on tightly. These are going to get a lot of use.”

We couldn’t agree more.
