A food handling device includes a holder having an interior chamber extending along a longitudinal axis, and an extension housing detachably mounted on the holder and having an interior compartment for receiving and for holding the foodstuff. A pusher is mounted in the chamber for axial movement. An actuator axially moves the pusher through the chamber and through the compartment into contact with the foodstuff, and incrementally feeds a continuously variable quantity of the foodstuff along the longitudinal axis through the opening directly into a user's mouth to enable the foodstuff to be eaten bite-by-bite in a sanitary manner without using eating accessories, such as plates and/or utensils, and without the user's hands directly touching and contaminating the foodstuff, thereby preventing the spread of disease.

A propeller food plate assembly has a plate component and a propeller component that includes a plurality of propellers that subdivide the plate into a plurality of compartments for holding food during a dining activity. During a different recreational activity, the components rotate when the assembly is thrown and spun in the air. During flight, the components initially engage each other in a torque-transmitting relationship, and subsequently move apart. The propellers have contoured, aerodynamic surfaces configured to enhance an aerodynamic flight characteristic of the assembly. One or more light sources may be mounted on the assembly to emit light.

The invention relates to a hotpot ware. The hotpot ware includes a basin-shaped main body adapted for holding and heating a liquid foodstuff, wherein the main body defines a top opening and is integrally formed with a radially outwardly extending rim along the top opening; a dry ice reservoir mounted on and adapted for heat exchange with the rim; and a passageway connected to the dry ice reservoir and adapted for discharge of gasified dry ice. By establishing a heat exchange relationship between the basin-shaped main body and the dry ice reservoir, dry ice accommodated in the dry ice reservoir would rapidly sublimates as the basin-shaped main body is heated, and then a large amount of white vaporous carbon dioxide gas is discharged outward through the passageway, thereby creating an amazing visual effect.

A glass container has a container main body made of glass and a coating film formed on a surface of the container main body. The coating film is made of tin oxide or titanium oxide, and the film thickness of the coating film ranges from 40 nm to 50 nm. In the depth profile obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, an atomic percentage of sodium at a point where a tin or titanium profile intersects a silicon profile is 2% or less.

System and method for identifying, measuring and analyzing food nutritional values and consumer eating behaviors is disclosed. A food container, having weight sensors and food identification sensors, identifies weight, type, and preparation status of the food item being consumed by the user from the food container. Based on the identified information, the nutritional value of the food item is determined and observed. The food container in communication with the system components may provide the user a recommended meal plan to improve the user's health condition. In addition, the food container issues an alert to the user when the user puts too much, too less, or the right amount of food items in the food container or eats the food items too fast.

An apparatus of a vase operable to hold a decorative object, is disclosed. The apparatus includes an opening configured to receive the decorative object. The apparatus includes a base configured to provide support for the vase. The apparatus includes a body extending vertically between the opening and the base. The apparatus includes a storage container rotatably coupled to the vase.

A nested tableware set includes: a) first and second bowls having a base and container portion that terminates at an open rim, and b) a plate interposed between the first and second bowls. Each plate has: 1) a base terminating at a side wall that extends upwardly and terminates at a side wall rim, 2) a base wall extending vertically downwardly from the base, 3) a first annular surface extending horizontally away from an upper end of the base wall, and 4) a second annular surface extending horizontally away from and vertically above the first annular surface. The first annular surface and the base wall together define a first shelf for seating the first bowl, and the second annular surface defines a second shelf for seating another plate. The base and side wall together define a third shelf for seating the second bowl.
