First off, I love the embossed mountain graphic which covers most of the entire bottom of the plate. I say "plate", but these could also be considered bowls with a 1 liter capacity. Since they're insulated, which means double walls, they don't burn your hand when filled with hot food.With a liter capacity, they hold quite a bit of food as well. A plate/bowl like this is probably a little easier to handle while eating dinner in a camp chair next to the fire. With the more bowl-like high sides, it's easier to keep the food in the bowl and not in my lap.I can use these as dog food and water bowls, too. Since they're stainless steel, they're easy to clean. And they are 404 stainless steel, which is a better quality and very resistant to rust and corrosion. Overall, I really like these for their utility, but also for the fun graphics.
