Abstract
An egg supporting tray is provided which has a plurality of egg pockets. Each egg pocket is formed by four posts which are interconnected by ribs. Each surface of the four posts, which forms a part of an egg pocket, has a concave surface on the upper portion thereof and a ridge on the lower portion thereof. The ridge provides substantially four point contact for a small egg which improves washing and drying and reduces water spotting. The concave surface enables the egg supporting tray to accommodate large eggs.
