Winner of a much-deserved Red Dot Design Award, the Paper Dish replaces the greaseproof sheet found between a pizza and a cardboard box with an improved design that easily tears apart creating a miniature paper plate for each slice.
Mind = blown.
Created by Yu Kyung Ha, Won Min Jung, and Kwon Young Hee, the clever design helps keep your fingers clean, while also eliminating the stack of napkins usually required to share a pizza. This design could very well revolutionise the fast food industry. [Red Dot via Fancy]
Surely the whole point of pizza is it has topping on the top and a dough base, so you know you don’t need a plate – mind distinctly un-blown.
I thought the point of pizza was to taste dead nice.
Sure, a proper italian stone baked, but this is greasy thick takeaway pizza. You don’t want cheesy grease everywhere and this is a great solution. And of course the other option is to get better prepared, if not necessarily tastier, pizza like the one you describe.
It is a neat concept but apart from the guaranteed waste of paper, doesn’t this require fairly accurate placement and cutting of the pizza in order to tie in with the (assumed by me – admittedly) perforations in the plate thingy?
Seems a solution to a non-existent problem when we already have a multi-function one i.e. a paper serviette
Agreed, Red hot pizza award? – Pizza is a hand food, sometimes I like big bits and sometimes long bits and square bits. Triangular serviettes? More shit for the landill that can’t be recycled cos it has food stuff on it. What would be really good is a truly universal re-usable pizza box. The ammount of cardboard in those things is depressing. I don’t know how to do it, or make it work, but that would be worthy of an award. Something perhaps like how milk bottles used to be collected. Have a delivery and at the same time pick up your empty pizza box. You wash it and return it, with your next delivery.
Surely it would be much smarter to just have little cookware-grade silicone “sliders” that you’d push under the slices and then throw in the sink/dishwasher?
Also just saw that this replaces “the greaseproof sheet found between a pizza and a cardboard box” – I’ve never ordered a pizza and found a sheet of greaseproof paper under there, is that standard practice? I’ve only ordered pizza in Australia & the UK and it’s always straight on the box.
You can see from the pic that the pizza slices themselves don’t even line up with the pre cut base. Plus if they don’t catch crumbs or melting cheese then what’s the point?
