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.

A bowl that has a beach at a beach angle to a horizontal axis and a lip at a lip angle relative to the horizontal axis. The bowl is configured to contain a substance in a concave inner portion between the beach, lip and between two sides connecting the lip and beach. The beach angle and lip angle allow for maximized scoping of the substance in the concave inner portion, but providing a low contact entry and a lip that forces the substance onto the dipping instrument.

An actively heated or cooled mug has a body with a chamber that can receive and hold a beverage and a heating or cooling system disposed at least partially in a cavity below the chamber. The heating or cooling system has a heating or cooling element to actively heat or cool the chamber, power storage devices, and circuitry that controls the operation of the heating or cooling elements. A user interface is electrically connected to the circuitry and has one or more selection members actuatable a) to turn off the one or more heating or cooling element or b) to adjust a temperature setting to one of multiple temperature settings configured to control the one or more heating or cooling elements to heat or maintain the liquid at a user selected temperature.

An antimicrobial and adhesion-proof titanium tableware and a manufacturing method of the same are provided. The antimicrobial and adhesion-proof titanium tableware is made of a titanium substrate, and includes a contact portion and an oxidation layer structure. The contact portion is used for contacting foods, food ingredients, drinking water, beverages, or body parts of a user. The oxidation layer structure is formed on one part of a surface of the titanium substrate corresponding to the contact portion. The titanium substrate is made of titanium in α phase, and the oxidation layer structure is a titanium dioxide film in a rutile crystalline form. The oxidation layer structure has a roughened surface and an oxygen diffusion layer formed at an interface of the oxidation layer structure and the titanium substrate.
