Square plate format fits more food in less space than round plates.

Generous 1000 ml volume — hearty meals for hungry campers.

304 stainless steel body — strongest plate in STS dinnerware line.

Silicone base insert grips + absorbs vibration — silent in storage.

Inside curve matches STS spoons — easy cleanup, no food left behind.

Polished SS surface + rigid feel of real dinnerware (not floppy like silicone).

The Plate's 90% 304 SS + 10% Silicone material split is different from the Bowl's 77/23 split: Why the Plate has more SS: - The Plate is square and rigid (the SS structure holds the square shape) - The Bowl is round and collapsible (more silicone needed for the hinge mechanism) - Plate doesn't collapse (no significant silicone hinge needed) - Plate needs rigidity for serving (vs the bowl's flexible soup-serving) Material roles: - 90% 304 SS: Body, base, sidewalls — rigid structure - 10% Silicone: Base insert (no-sliding / no-rattle), small structural accents Same 304 SS alloy as the rest of Detour (304 SS + EU food-grade silicone)Same BPA-free standardSame polished SS finish

Unlike the round Bowls, the Plate is square — a deliberate design choice: Why square plates: - Square corners fit food more efficiently than round curves - More usable surface area per inch of table space - Stack more efficiently (flat edges align) - Modern dining aesthetic (bistro-style) Practical comparison: - A 9" round plate = ~63.6 sq in of usable area - A 9" square plate = 81 sq in of usable area - 27% more food space in the same nominal size Fits: - Standard "place setting" size (dinner plate for 1) - Camp tables that may be narrow (square fits in less space than round's diameter) - Stacking alignment (square edges nestle flat) Sidewall height: - 3.2 cm / 1.25 in - Shallow enough to eat from like a real plate - Not deep enough for soup (use Bowl for that)

Same engineering as the Bowl — the silicone base insert does three jobs: 1. No Sliding: - Silicone grips smooth surfaces (table, counter, shelf) - Plate stays put during eating in motion - Important for RV, boat, train 2. No Rattle: - Silicone absorbs metal-on-metal vibration - Plates stack silently in storage 3. Heat Insulation (NEW for Plates!): - Per STS FAQ: "the silicone rubber insert on the base allows you to hold the plate securely while providing insulation from hot contents" - Hot foods don't conduct heat through the steel walls to your hand - Some insulation from hot dishes

The Plate uses the same large-radius curve as the Detour Bowl, Dinnerware Set Plates/Bowls, Pot, Kettle, and Pouring Pot: Why a matched curve: - Spoon tip fits the curve - Scoop the last morsel from the plate - Reduces food waste - Easier cleanup (smooth curves, no sharp corners) STS utensils that fit: - Folding Camp Spatula & Serving Spoon (Camp Kitchen Tool Kit) - Detour utensils (sibling dinnerware) - Frontier UL Cutlery "Large internal radius" (per STS): - The radius is bigger than a typical plate's rim curve - More space to maneuver utensils - Less corner-trapped food

Per STS: "Please be aware that this product may become hot when used with hot contents. Handle with use caution." Three factors affecting heat transfer: - Steel walls conduct heat (all-metal plates do) - Silicone base insert insulates the grip area - Shallow walls mean more contact with hot food surface Practical handling: - Wait briefly for hot foods to cool before long handling - Hold with a cloth for very hot foods - Use the silicone base area for cooler grip - Or transfer food to a bowl before handling Don't confuse with: - The plate is heat-tolerant (won't deform or melt) - The OUTSIDE will be hot when contents are hot - Handle accordingly Comparison to Bowl: - Plate has shorter walls → more heat conducted upward - Bowl has taller walls → more heat in the lower section - Plate might feel hotter to the touch per unit time

The Detour Plate is Award Winning per STS tags — joining the rest of the Detour Stainless Steel line. What makes the Plate special: - Square format for more food per inch of table - Polished SS real-dinnerware feel - Silicone base insert does 3 jobs (grip + anti-rattle + insulation) - Matches the rest of the Detour system (same curve, same materials) - Last critical SKU — completes the Detour dinnerware family
