I ordered these plates for a fondue party. I love that they had little spaces for the sauces and they have an elegant look. The negative is the heavy weight of the stoneware plates and they do not stack easily.

These fondue plates are great. Was glad to find them. Hard to find in stores.

These are the best plates I know. Since you should not place raw meat on the plates you really need the spaces for sauce and relish. And the spaces are just the right size for that and the big space leaves you a lot of space to eat (this is what we alway miss on the other fondue plates) !

I ordered four boxes of the plates for a fondue party that I gave. The plates are good. I put them into the dishwasher to begin with. Then out for a trial lunch on there before my fondue party. They were made well with a glaze / ceramic base. The price is great. The only thing that I dislike is the fact that they are hard to stack due to the shape.

I thought I had ordered the fondue plates that had 5 elongated slots to them. The round ones are ok. Not as much room to hold sauces is my objection.

Did not send them back as we were going out of town for 10 days and when we arrived home had people over for fondue. Oh well.

I received my shipment today, and just like the other reviewer said....no decent shipment packaging. I could hear pieces rattling in the box before I even opened it. After I opened the box I could see that at least one plate was broken. Called for a return shipment label. I will try to find something that will come unbroken for my fondue party next month.Trudeau Round 10 Inch Fondue Plates, Set of 4

Unlike most fondue plates that mostly accommodate sauces, these plates have plenty of room for you to put *food*! That means you can prepare side dishes ahead of time to go along with the meats people will be cooking in the fondue pot, and everything fits on the plate like a standard dinner plate. The sauce sections hold plenty of sauce, too. Although they don't "nest" well, we have no trouble stacking them.

In meat fondueing, you need separate containers for the sauces you serve. This can be done various ways but these plates really make an attractive place setting and are very convenient to use and clean afterwards. They are also heavy weight and of very good quality. I highly recommend them.

Buyer Beware - I paid $36 for expedited shipping for a dinner party this coming sunday for mother's day and I ordered 3 boxes of 4 plates and each box had one plate broken. The box they were packed in only had packing material for two of the four sides and none for the top and bottom. The plate boxes only have cardboard for in between each plate and nothing for the top, bottom and sides. I guess I should consider myself lucky that I got some that were not broken. So disappointed as the plates themselves are great.

I was pretty disappointed with my plates arrived with a price sticker from a local department store on them. I guess I should have shopped around more since the price sticker on the plates was way less then I paid! Poor form, Amazon.
