When I make dinner, I heat the plates, but they cool very fast so the food doesn't keep warm very long. Does anyone have dinnerware that holds the heat well? Or has anyone made a "plate cozy" and does that work better?

We heat plates at our house too. Even though ours also cool off quickly - I appreciate my food staying warm longer!

I think ironstone dishware holds the heat quite well...

oo I warm the plates .. but then the food is gone fast and no complaints :-)
