It’s getting to be that time of year, where the weather gets a little warmer and people start having outdoor get togethers. This usually means some grilled specialties, homemade pasta salads, and some chilled adult beverages. There’s pretty much just massive amounts of food surrounding you at all times. This can be somewhat daunting, especially if you don’t have the correct partyware to support such a feast. I mean, how are you supposed to mingle and meet new people when you’ve got to juggle your plate, silverware, and drink? That just doesn’t leave you a free hand to say hello, gesticulate during a funny story, or even just to scratch that inevitable mosquito bite on your arm. So how are you supposed to keep your guests from staging a coup in your backyard?
No worries, the Cater Plate (Drinkstuff, £5.98) is here to rescue you from social oblivion. Made from high quality plastic to resist breakage, this generic looking party plate packs a hefty punch. The key to the Cater Plate’s genius? Each plate includes reattachable cutlery, as well as a stemware holder and sauce compartments. Ok, so picture yourself at your neighbor’s bbq: you’re trying to master the difficult task of eating and schmoozing, which you have to do while standing because everyone knows that seats are scarce at these gatherings. Tell me, exactly how do you plan to execute a meet and greet when you have a plate in one hand and a drink in the other? Well, if you had a Cater Plate, you wouldn’t even be asking that question. Your wine glass would be safely secured in its stemware holder, with your cutlery firmly snapped into place. This plate is also great for the person who doesn’t want their sauces fraternizing with their main course. I mean, maybe you like to dip your cheeseburger in a little bit of ketchup instead of drowning it in the stuff, which can only lead to a soggy bun and an unhappy you. The reattachable cutlery means that you won’t be dropping your plastic fork every two seconds as you try to navigate to a sensible eating location. And once you get there, you can go crazy and snap off your fork, spoon, and knife because unlike other party plates, you can snap them right back on when the mood strikes your fancy. Amazing, isn’t it?
Available in black or clear, the Cater Plate is suitable for just about any occasion. The clear is a perfectly acceptable alternative for your standard summer block party, in fact it could go with just about any celebratory event. If you’re having a black tie event though, I would totally go with the black. Obviously.
5 out of 5 stars.
