Reservoir

I have a controversial standpoint and I will take your abuse in the comments. I don't prefer real maple syrup. Now don't get me wrong. I like it just fine and God know that when the Top Secret Pancake house near Alfred opens for the season soon, I will be there. But when it comes to the syrup I reach for, I go for the fake stuff.

I also am not a fan of soaking my pancakes. I confuse Mrs. Rose as I stack my pancakes and then cut them one at a time and not slicing through the whole stack. What I am trying to say, is that I am pancake weird.

My pancake fastidiousness is being satiated bu this new syrup reservoir plate by uncommon goods. I think that this is for more than just pancakes, sauces would do very well here too.
None to shabby.

Hot Plate

Via- Wired


The +/- Hot Plate wins the award for the day’s most literally named gadget. The plate itself is a normal ceramic circle, but it has circuitry printed on it in the form of “silk-screened gold and amorphic metal films”. These are hooked up to a DC power supply and the printed circuit acts like a heating element, sloughing off its resisted electricity in the form of heat and warming (or even cooking) any foodstuffs on top, working just like a car-window de-icer element.
The plate was designed by Ami Drach and Dov Ganchrow for a competition named “Dining In 2015″. Even when not plugged in, the filigreed heating strips make a curiously beautiful pattern. The problem is that, with the DC-in circuitry in a plastic box underneath, this isn’t going to be dishwasher safe.

Nagware

We all know what we should do. Of course that never matches what we do. These plates by Rui Pereira and Hafsteinn Juliusson, a pair of Icelandic designers, are decorated with recommended serving portions. Designed in 3 styles, the Super Size, The Extra Ordinary, and The Diet. These plates take the hard work out of portioning your meals for proper eating. They also look pretty pretty.

Ceramo-Plasty

British ceramicist Beccy Ridsdel created these subdermally decorated wares. Tearing away the detritus to find the secrets hidden with in. 

With all the work of peeling away the layers on Chez Katz. (...Oh look Honey, wallpaper under wallpaper...) I respect what these plates have to say. 

Thanks to Anna for the heads up.

Why yes, I guess you could look at it that way.

I'm not the greatest speller, but at least I have spell check to rely on. Unfortunately for the ceramicists and the tattoo artist, you really need to triple check, because that shit is permanent.


Luckily this one was done on purpose by James Victore who refers to himself as a dinner plate pirate.


It also makes me glad that I was not a girl, because my "girl name" was Virginia...

Why The Long Plate?

Maxime Ansiau created these long plates. Unfortunately I don't know much about the maker (European, Yes, Male/Female, No Idea). But they are beautiful, well made and an engaging concept.

Stuck in the middle with you.

Much like sitting in the middle of the backseat when you were a kid, there is always a familial equivalent of the worst seat in the house. Of course you could be banished to the kids table (it really does not help you self esteem when you are over 30). At family dinners that seat is the spot where the two table come together. Inevitably the tables are not the same height. This plate designed by Shira Nahon solves that problem, providing a split that levels the differnence. 

Good Work.
