Abstract

A plate comprises a planar central region with a perimeter and a lip with first and second sections, each including two ends. A first end of the first section extends from the perimeter up and away from the planar central region, and a first of the second section extends from a second of the two ends of the first section down and away from the planar central region. A plate comprises circular, mid and end regions. The mid-region protrudes from an outer edge of the circular region in a first direction away therefrom. The end-region protrudes from an outer edge of the mid-region in an opposite direction and away therefrom. The mid and end-regions include openings. A plate comprises a first area and a rim surrounding the first area. The rim has walls which intersect. Each of the walls is either straight or concave. Both of the walls includes openings.

Dependent claims

A plate for supporting a food product, comprising:

a planar central region with a perimeter, a top side, and a bottom side, which opposes the top side;
and
a lip extending from the perimeter up from the top side, wherein the lip includes:
a first section with two ends, wherein a first of the two ends of the first section connects to the perimeter of the planar central region and an entirety of a region between the first of the two ends of the first section and a second of the two ends of the first section curves inward from the top side at the perimeter to the second end of the first section, up and away from the planar central region;
and
a second section with two ends, wherein a first of the two ends of the second section connects to the second end of the first section and an entirety of a region between the first of the two ends of the second section and a second of the two ends of the second section curves inward from the second end of the first section to the second end of the second section, down and away from the planar central region,
wherein the entirety of the region of the first section and the entirety of the region of the second section curve inward towards each other.
