Are these trays brittle! Can you flex them without having them crack?

These trays are pretty durable but they are definitely not meant to carry around fully loaded. It's worth noting that I cracked the side of one yesterday by flexing it to let some rainwater out of it. I did this to two of them, one cracked, the other didn't. So yes durable, but no, not like the more expensive high density plastic ones. I'd definitely buy them again.

Yes they flex some, they are pretty durable but you could break them if you put too much stress on them. I have had them for 2 years and still using so I would call them durable.

Agree with C.J. These trays are very thin and brittle. My first one just cracked trying to water my wheatgrass. I will not buy these again.

The trays are flexible and somewhat durable. Not knowing what you want to use them for, and not sure how much they need to bend it is difficult to answer. I have used some of my trays for a couple of years. I plant veggie seed in small pots and place them in the trays. Also, I have placed quart size pots with veggies in them, picked the trays up to move then elwhere in my green house without them cracking. I do make sure I hold the trays carefully and securely making sure the weight is balanced. Hope this helps

These are nice durable trays and even after spending a summer out in the hot Carolina sun they still twist and flex without cracking (I just tried it out).

They are flexible, under a lot of weight they droop a little, but these are way better than the hard trays.

I'm quite sure they will be strong enough...when I put them in the oven I notice they will make that pop sound when they get hot...but I have never felt they were anything but sturdy...I use mine all the time and they are very good trays...april

The tray is pretty sturdy, but I'd think this is the type of question to ask of the manufacturer. Unless we'd tried it, how could we know? :)

If you can rig your own trays using spacers, why not. The proofer does not come with them though.

Mine have not cracked, however, I stopped using them after about 3 batches of ice cream.

You'd probably have to double them up. They're pretty flimsy trays. At the same time, worth what you pay for.

These trays are soft and rubbery in your mouth. I do not think they are hard enough to use to prevent grinding.

You CAN remove them as they snap into the tray from underneath, but I don't really see why you would need to.

no, not at all. I've had one I've used for five years. The plastic seems a bit more flexible, and doesn't seem to crack.

No I didn't find them to be very bendable at all... The part that goes over the head is fairly wide....If handling them roughly I can see them breaking.

Sorry, I don't know. I guess they're not supposed to break. (That's kinda silly, when they're made of plastic!)

They will probably not stay in the tray - the fit in the tray, but are not locked into the tray. A nice sturdy rubber band might do the trick though!

Yes! I've used these for a couple years to make lunches. Hot food, cold freezer, heat in the microwave, wash in the dishwasher. I haven't had a single crack or break.

Mine have not cracked or broken. If you intentionally tried to break them you could probably do it. I've bent them and they have never cracked.

No, they are not. They are slightly flexy, but would only flex bitter, not smaller.

Yes, you can easily bend them, especially if you use wide-jawed pliers. They will not break.
