 A little silly incremental improvement - for the last year and a half, my primary eating plate (probably 90% of my food intake) has been a sea to summit plastic plate/bowl. I've had it for maybe a decade, but the bottom warped up a little bit, probably in the microwave, a long time ago, so it wasn't used much until I started just cooking my own steaks all the time and wanting all the drippings.

But I'm trying to move away from plastics in at least some ways, and I know the bottom of that plate has seen better days after heavy use with a steak knife. So, picked up a ceramic plate and bowl at Walmart. Curious to see how I like using a serrated steak knife on ceramic.  This was a flat glaze, but I don't doubt it is coated with some bullshit - still, hopefully a step up from plastic.  I may also try a glossier glaze.  I might try a wood option, but I'm concerned about what my knife would do to it over time.  The idea of just a cutting board doesn't appeal to me, because I do often have several ounces of fats/juices that I want to enjoy with my steak.

Any thoughts as to the best all around eating vessel for enjoying my daily steaks? #asknostr
