charola

Charola is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily in Spanish-speaking cultures. Most commonly, it is used to describe a tray, particularly one used for serving food or drinks. This type of charola can be made from various materials such as wood, metal, plastic, or ceramic and varies in size and design depending on its intended use.

In some regions, particularly in Latin America, charola can also refer to a small, shallow pan or dish, often used for baking or roasting small items. This usage is similar to a baking sheet or a small roasting pan.

Additionally, the term charola can sometimes be used colloquially to mean a layer or a stratum, particularly in geological or historical contexts, though this is a less common meaning. The specific meaning of charola is therefore dependent on the context in which it is used and the geographical location.
