If the tray was metal you could use it as a frying pan with the amout of heat that comes out of the vents

 

Bumping thread because I am very interested in this storage device, but would like a little more feedback from those that have or are using it!

Thanks!

Love mine - it was pretty much my 1st installation I did when I bought the Jeep.

I discovered the hard way that the magnetic compass is mounted on the top of the dashboard just below the big tray. One day when on a trip I noticed that the compass always said west. I then realized I had placed my cellphone on this tray, and it was upsetting the compass. It doesn't seem to be consistent, sometimes it interferes, but mostly not.
