Perfect. We wanted it for the look of Japanese ceramic plates very minimalist and functional. It gets 6th star for being a non heat transferring dish! Even after 4 mins on high in the microwave it stayed cool to touch and I didn’t need a pot holder to take it out. Keep in mind the food is very hot so where the food immediately touches the plate would still be hot! But the outer upper lip of the plate is usually cool to touch! Excellent set we bought 2!
