(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best plates

The first one looks like earthenware rather than porcelain. I have not found info on it (yet).

The second plate looks like this Tognana Happy Hour Nouvelle Cuisine Deep Plate.

If you try a google image search on the string "tognana happy hour nouvelle cuisine" you will find some variations on the theme. Bed, Bath and Beyond has even more.

Y'all

These are definitely for kids

There are other, significantly more shallow taco holders for more reasonable people, but the fun ones are just that: fun, and most likely for kids

I like these dark green/blue plates. They also have them in a gothic purple too. Hope you find something you like! Thanks for the contest

We have had great luck with stainless steel. We have plates, bowls, and cups. They are heavy duty, can go outside, and they double as our camping dinnerware. The brand I really like is Caveman.

Most Asian stores sell little flat metal sauce bowls with 2" diameter. They are very cheap (50ct each) and perfectly fit the legs of a camping cot, even if the rubber feet are damaged and the sharp metal is sticking out.

I don't know what they are called exactly, but they look similar to this: Korean metal bowl

If you want extra protection, you can glue a piece of carpet to the bottom of the bowl. Don't go with the tennis ball, this will not distribute the weight enough and the foot will puncture the floor of the tent if the soil below has any give.

​

Here is a picture, 80mm is too large for the army style cot, but the smaller one (60mm ?) fits the feet perfectly.

I could be wrong. I only see the one photo of it and I can't really tell if it's sloped on the right side.

The cheese boards I'm thinking of are often made of ceramic but, you can find slate versions of it. I think the slate versions are much more expensive and might be harder to find. I see a lot of cheap-o ones way overpriced in shops but occasionally see slate cheese boards at wineries, like in winery gift shops.



Here's some examples:

• Link 2
  
  
• Link 3
  
  
• Link 4 - these look pretty close to the photo but, I suspect if they're plating on these they probably bought bulk from a restaurant supply

I think a cheapo one-switch rice cooker is always needed. A really good vegetable peeler. Hand held vegetable spiralizer. A tomato knife (I use it for most everything). A fish spatula if you can use metal with your pans. I love my cast iron comal (tortillas, arepas, gorditas, pancakes, crepes, eggs, grilled cheese, and as a pizza stone in the oven). I got a plastic sushi roll mold and then a wood one—awesome—makes doing sushi rolls and gimbap at home painless (but a lateral press mold only not a bazooka model—here is the narrow one and check YouTube for how to use it https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Sales-HSSM-FTMKSM-Japanese-Accessories/dp/B07NK85RKV). I love this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Cremafacile-Milk-Frother-by-Biesse/dp/B002U7F00G We use an immersion blender for soups and whipped cream and all sorts of stuff but those have gotten more expensive lately.

Portion control is another option:

If they have a variable temperature setting. This could be accomplished easily by not turning it up past the limit.

If you had a hot plate with a 600 watt burner, you could probably turn it up half way and it would work if you had a 350 watt power inverter like the one I used to have.

Also they have inverters that hook up directly to the car battery and provide much higher wattage.

What about a cake stand or plate to display her baked goods?

Or if you wanted to go with strictly equipment I'd say a cooling rack is pretty essential if she doesn't have one. Also a small strainer/sifter to sift dry baking ingredients is pretty necessary for some recipes.

Maybe be a true hero and get him a new one?

I found some reusable plastic covers that have a rubber band built into them, almost like shower caps.
I can't find a pic online, but this is also very similar and useful? https://mightynest.com/shop/kitchen/food-storage/silicone-stretch-storage-top-3-pack

Edit: found similar elasticated item https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Elastic-Bowl-Plate-Covers/dp/B005Q2HCY4

I bought [this pan](Fiesta 6-3/8-Inch Small Pie Plate, Scarlet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007D80TS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6mBaCbGEYFKPX) off amazon and I love it. Cut a regular pie recipe in half, and bake it for around the normal time. It's enough for four people (or six if you make very small slices) to have a bit of pie after dinner with no leftovers. I also bought a mini springform pan for cheesecakes. Cutting my recipes as drastically as I can still gives me the joy of baking without as many extra temptations.

We use one of "these special day" plates.

Holy mother of God - I had no idea it cost $50. I think MIL bought it, but we've used it through a number of special days (including the spouse).

this sushi rolling kit

I would love to learn how to make my own sushi!! But I ever think to actually buy it myself 🍣

It wasn’t super expensive on amazon VonShef 9 Piece Slate Cheese... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075GSGF4B?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

i got the cheapest one i could find. ive only had an issue with the locking mechanism - i have to really force it. but once i get it to click its all good

Pretty sure we got these from our local dollar store and they're really nice. They're ceramic, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe. They're Royal Norfolk plates.

You can also get them from amazon but it's either 21 bucks for a single plate or 54 bucks for 24 plates. Bizarre but I guess they're trying to target restaurants or something with that.

Vertically. Get a microwave plate stacker like this one. One hot pocket per plate, then stack the plates in the microwave. Everyone's happy.

I hate to burst your bubble, but this ban is part of that teaching you want so badly. One of your first goals when trying to lose weight, or trying to help someone lose weight, is re-educating them on portion size. You can even buy plates now that help with that goal. Americans no longer think 20+ ounces of soda is a large portion of soft drink, and they need to be re-educated.

I've spent a lot of time in Japan, and a large McD's coke in Japan is the size of a small McD's coke in the U.S. The Japanese people don't order two cokes to get around the size limit. They accept that 16oz of coke is a large portion of soda, and they should, because it is.

Limiting the size of soft drinks in NYC isn't going to curb obesity because people can't drink large sodas, because they still can. It will curb obesity because people we be re-educated on proper portion control. The city is teaching people about portion size.
