Pine Boats and Pine Cones
Thin pine timber, folded into a boat or rolled into a cone, is one of the oldest and most appealing ways to serve street food. A serve of calamari or chips looks far better in timber than on a plastic tray. Disposable King supplies disposable pine boats and pine cones to food trucks, fish and chip shops, caterers and festival vendors across Melbourne.
What Are Pine Boats and Pine Cones?
Pine boats are shallow trays made from thin sheets of pine veneer, bent up at the sides with folded ends. Pine cones in food service are the same timber rolled into a hand-held cone. These are not the cones that fall from pine trees. Both are light, natural and contain no plastic.
What Are Pine Food Boats Used For?
- Fish and Chips and Fried Food: Pine is breathable, so fried food stays crisper than in a sealed container. Pine food boats suit chips, calamari, prawns, wedges and fried snacks.
- Street Food and Food Trucks: Dumplings, takoyaki, tacos and sliders all look good in a pine boat, and customers can eat standing up.
- Festivals and Events: Pine cones are easy to hold in one hand, which makes them ideal for chips, churros, popcorn and hot nuts at festivals and sporting events.
Which Size Do You Need?
The Disposable King range includes:
- Pine boats in extra small, small, medium, large, extra large and extra-extra-large
- Pine cones in medium (125 x 85 mm), large (180 x 130 mm) and extra large (240 x 170 mm), packed in 50s
Use small boats for sides and tastings, large boats for mains, and the extra-extra-large size for share platters.
Pine Boats or Paper Trays?
Paper trays are cheaper and fold flat. Pine boats cost a little more but look premium, feel sturdier and give your food a natural, rustic presentation that customers remember. Many food trucks use pine for signature dishes and paper for simple sides.
Presentation Tips
Line boats with greaseproof paper to keep the timber clean. Put dipping sauces in a separate small cup so they do not soak into the wood. Use a cone stand or a rack with round cut-outs to keep pine cones upright while staff fill orders, and fill cones to just below the rim so customers can walk with them without spilling. A printed paper liner can also carry your branding.
Are Pine Boats Eco Friendly?
Pine is a renewable material. Used boats and cones can go into compost or green waste, depending on what your council accepts. Timber is a simple switch for businesses moving away from single-use plastic plates and trays.
Pine Boats for Catering and Grazing Tables
Pine boats are not only for street food. Caterers use them to serve individual portions on grazing tables, from cured meats and cheese to sliders, tacos and desserts. Lining each boat with a small square of greaseproof paper keeps the timber clean and makes the display look neat. The extra-extra-large size works well as a share platter in the middle of a table. Because they are light and stack easily, pine boats are simple to transport to events and quick to set out, and guests can carry a serve around the room without needing a plate.
