Is This a Good Tray for Mixing Tobaccos?

[crazyhog]

HI,

I am interested in mixing some of my tobaccos and I am looking for a tray. Not a huge amount, mostly 2oz total. Will a tray like this work? Is 11 x 7 , a good size? Thanks

I think it's amusing.

Not exactly meant for tobacco but I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't work.

I would use a bowl, not a tray, but that’s just me.
If you want to use a tray, go for it.
That one will likely work but you’ll also have to be real careful.
It’s like tossing a salad; would you do that on a tray or in a bowl?

I have found that a standard kitchen metal mixing bowl is the best option for mixing 2 oz or more of tobacco. Let's me really dig in and mix it well without spilling. Flat rigid trays have been more challenging for me to pour the results out of into jars or mylar bags.

The tray you showed looks very cool however.

Hey man, just like sure man, that would be cool. We'll, like, that's just my opinion man.

We, sir, have different definitions of "tossing a salad".

Mix in a bowl and use the tray to dry out the tobacco.

Personally, I prefer a wooden tray since it.can act as a cutting board for various cuts.

I personally prefer a bowl for mixing tobaccos. The slope and extra height help with the blending. Since this image could possibly constitute a copyright infringement or IP theft, I'll send this along to my friends at Warner Brothers legal.

Better buy it quickly...

I knew it would go there.

But(t) seriously though, what the hell else do you call it when you mix a sa…….ok. I’ll just call it mixing a salad from now on.
I’ll still call the other thing salad tossing though.

I would steer you away from any sort of tray.

Get yourself a decent - 12" Diameter - sized Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl. You want to get both hands in there and mix freely and casually, without tabak going all over the place.

This will help to ensure even dispersion of all the ingredients in your mixture, easy to work with; AND, the tabak STAYS in the mixing bowl.

Stay away from a plastic bowls, as static electricity will build-up and you'll spend time trying to pick all these little tabak flakes off the sides of a plastic bowl. - Sherm Natman

I was thinking of getting this smaller inexpensive 3 quart for small mixes of 2 oz, maybe 3 oz at most. Size good? Thx

Good idea, thanks.

The bigger the better.

I'm not talking about tossing salad though, I'm talking about mixing tobacco.

 

[Hillcrest]

Good idea, thanks.

Just happened to notice today in passing ... Target has wooden plates and bowls (bamboo) for picnics on sale; square and round. Just sayin'

 

[crazyhog]

Thanks for all your responses. I ended up ordering these from Amazon. Thanks again!

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Damn, that's a good deal. $1.75 an ounce is a good price for a salad bowl!

That's less than 30 bucks a pound.
