wait for it...

Can you guess what this is?











It looks sort of like one of those platters designed to hold deviled eggs and while that's certainly fodder for this blog, this is in fact even more useless.

From the item description (going in reverse):

Dishwasher safe.

So far so good! Who doesn't like dishwasher safe?

Oven, microwave and under broiler rack safe.

Great! Super versatile and obviously durable.

Measures 9 1/2" L x 8" W.

Um, good. Maybe?

Lead-free glaze won't scratch, and the naturally non-stick surface is easy to clean.

Ooh, back on track with this one. Naturally non-stick you say? Love it.

Made of mineral-rich burgundy clay, plate provides even heat distribution.

Wow, sounds super luxurious. I don't know what burgundy clay is but I do love even heat distribution!

...can be used for cooking, serving, reheating and freezing. It can even go directly from the freezer to the oven.

Again with the versatility, this time we're even taking it to the freezer. Damn, that's one awesome dimpled plate!

For the lover of escargot this plate is extremely versatile.

Aaaand...you lost me. I have never tried escargot and because of a shellfish allergy I'll play "better safe than sorry" with the snails but even still - does anyone in this country like escargot? Ok, no doubt there are a few people but does anyone like it so much the need a special platter to freeze, cook and serve it? For real?

It's a little small for deviled hen eggs but I bet it would hold deviled quail eggs. Hmmm...maybe I do need one of these...
