Tilted Plate: Reducing Oil Intake in a Stylish Way

A Unique Solution to Promote Healthy Eating Habits

In our daily lives, excessive oil intake often leads to obesity and a range of health complications. To address this issue, designer Zhang Ruiqi has created the Tilted Plate. This innovative design not only serves as a regular plate for placing dishes but also separates food from oil, effectively reducing the intake of oil and promoting a healthier lifestyle.

The Tilted Plate may appear similar to a regular plate at first glance, but it is far from ordinary. The plate is mounted on a flat bottom with a certain angle of inclination. This clever design feature allows for automatic separation of oil and water from the dishes, significantly reducing fat intake. By simply adjusting our eating habits, we can effectively reduce the risk of diseases associated with excessive oil consumption.

The Tilted Plate is made from high-temperature and environmentally friendly porcelain. This material is not only safe and non-toxic but also microwave-safe, making it convenient for everyday use. The plate is crafted using high-quality clay, which undergoes a meticulous process of selection, molding, glazing, and burning. The result is a product with a smooth and easy-to-clean inner glaze that is both environmentally friendly and transparent.

With dimensions of 25.0cm wide, 18.0cm high, and 6.0cm high, the Tilted Plate is designed to meet the technical specifications required for a functional and aesthetically pleasing dining experience. Its unique shape and reasonable size make it suitable for daily use, seamlessly integrating into our lifestyles.

The Tilted Plate project began in November 2017 in Shenyang and was completed in February 2018. Throughout the design process, the team faced the challenge of determining the optimal angle for the plate. Finding the right balance was crucial to ensure the plate's usability and effectiveness in separating oil from dishes.

By incorporating the Tilted Plate into our daily lives, we can make a conscious effort to reduce our oil intake and improve our overall health. This innovative design has been recognized for its excellence, receiving the Iron A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware, and Cookware Design category in 2018. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that are well-designed, practical, and innovative, meeting professional and industrial requirements.

The Tilted Plate is a testament to the power of design in promoting healthier habits. With its simple yet effective solution, it encourages us to be more mindful of our eating choices and ultimately contributes to a better world.
