Easier Fondue, harder storage
Fondue is making a comeback, and having the right dishes and serving ware makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Having different dipping sauces is a part of the fun.
Eating fondue off a "regular" plate results in mixed sauces, oil or broth diluting things, and in general a mess.
The sections on this plate work admirably for segregating sauces and fondue items, and the un-sectioned half of the plate is plenty of room to hold your finished foods. The four sections are large and deep enough to hold plenty of your favorite dipping sauces, or selections of items to fondue.
The only drawback is storage. These are heavy, thick plates, and the backs of them are smooth, which means that the plates do not stack nicely for storage. It would have been nice for the sections of the places to fit into recesses in the back a little so they could store stacked instead of precariously balanced.
Great idea; poor quality
These plates would have been really nice if the finish were better quality. I purchased and returned two sets because I was not happy with the flaws in the finish. There were areas that had no glaze on them; the ceramic was visible through thin areas in the finish and there were lots of bubbles in the glaze. I expected better for the price.
Pretty Plates, Shame That They're Broken!
Well, I guess I should have listened to the other reviews about these plates arriving broken... I ordered 2 boxes of these beautiful raclette plates in BLACK, and WOW, NOTHING WENT RIGHT! The 1st box that I received was a WHITE set (btw, the white is pretty enough, but I'm not interested in white), and 1 day later the 2nd box I received was a gorgeous Black Set that had... Drum Roll Please... BROKEN plates inside. What a let down! What decent manufacturer packages plates in a box with only ONE cardboard lining in between each plate? I've moved from one neighborhood to another just 10 miles away, and packaged my plates for transport more carefully than this! To Amazon's Customer Service goes due credit, they took very good care of me for both transactions, which is why I love being a Prime member. But what a shame people, these are really lovely, glossy plates, so can someone at Swissmar do something about the shoddy packaging? I would have given FIVE STARS for these plates if I...
