Review: ProCook Professional Carving Set & Spiked Tray*

ProCook Spiked Stainless Steel Carving Tray

The 35cm x 25cm sized carving tray is a great size for any type of meat from chicken to a much larger bird like the turkey.  The 5 spikes are perfectly positioned to hold the meat while you carve it, so it does not slide around the tray. The tray also is raised in the centre to drain away juices while the meat rests. The tray which is made from high-quality stainless steel comes with a 1-year guarantee.

How much does the Carving Set and Tray cost and where can I purchase them?

The ProCook Professional X50 Carving Set costs just £44 (similar products are typically sold at £89) whilst the ProCook Spiked Carving Tray costs just £12 (comparable products usually retail around £17). You can also head to local ProCook shops located at Freeport Talke and Trentham Gardens, if you’re local to Staffordshire or The Lowry in Manchester.

What did we think of it?

In our household, my husband is the one in charge when it comes to carving the meat and he totally loved the carving set and tray.  We have always loved the ProCook brand as it is reliable and their product has always been of high quality so we were pleased with both the items.  The carving set came very well packaged in a box with proper protective plastic covers for the sharp ends. The spiked stainless steel tray worked well too, if you watch the video below, you can see that the roast chicken did not move at all.  The tray also came with protective plastic covers for the spikes which is crucial as they are sharp.  We only wished the carving tray came with a box as well.  Would we recommend getting the carving set? Yes, of course, having a good carving set is so important as it makes slicing the meat so much easier by providing evenly cut meat.  The carving tray is also a must-have as cutting meat on a plate can be really difficult as the meat ends up sliding everywhere and this can also be dangerous.

Here’s a short youtube video showing the tray and carving set
