Oyster pail
An oyster pail (also known as a Chinese food box or Chinese takeout container) is a folded, waxed or plastic coated, paperboard container originally designed to hold oysters. It commonly comes with a handle made of solid wire. Currently, it is often in use by American Chinese cuisine restaurants primarily throughout the United States, to package hot or cold take-out food. They can also be found in some European countries such as Germany and England, but are rarely seen in China.
== Uses ==
The container has the advantage of being inexpensive, durable and fairly leakproof, as long as it is kept upright. The top usually includes a locking paperboard tab so that they are self-closing. The simple origami-like folded construction also allows for some escape of steam from hot food. If care is used to remove the flaps, and the sides are unfolded, the container can also double as a somewhat flimsy plate. However it is also typical to eat directly out of the container, a feat that the long reach of chopsticks makes possible. The containers are primarily used with American Chinese cuisine, though they have started to spread in some European countries.
Oyster pails that can be safely used in microwave ovens (without the metal handle, which can cause arcing in a microwave) are also available.
The containers may also be used for storing or transporting non-food items, such as soap bath beads or small parts. Takeout containers have also been offered as novelty packaging for small gifts.
