According to the product page, the Hot Plate Plates are designed to evoke “lost art of home cooking, reminding us to slow down and rediscover shopping for fresh and local ingredients, the pleasures of the kitchen, and savoring our meals.”
I get it, but the microwave is sooo much quicker. Besides, I savor my Hot Pockets…sort of.

The good: these Ceramic Wine Toppers will allow you to hold your appetizers and wine with just one hand. The bad: While both can be carried with one hand, you will have to use your second hand to hold the plate in order for you to get a drink. The ugly: One slight misstep and both your wine and all your food ends up on the floor.

In this serving set, each plate is shaped like the nation it represents. Pieced together “you can create a substantial serving platter” given that each plate is 6″-10″ wide and 10″-15″ inches long.

These pizza plates will whet your appetite before the delivery guy ever gets there. You don’t get to choose your toppings, but even I can deal with a couple olives. Each pizza box comes with a set of 6 plates, enough to feed the whole family.

Alessi’s “Birds & Clouds” Sushi set is an odd combination for a cool gift. I am not sure how clouds and birds fit in with sushi. But it shouldn’t really matter when you have a cloud for a plate, soy sauce bowl and chopstick holder. Nothing like a serene setting when eating raw animals. At least the silk placemat sounds authentic to it’s origins.

If you find staring at a plate cleared of food a tad depressing, pick up one of these melamine plates and your problems are solved. Each plate is emblazoned with a super-realistic image of food so it looks as though it is always full. Sure, that doesn’t do much for your insatiable hunger —but you need to learn about the virtues of portion control anyway.
