A plate having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an indentation configured to detachably and securely receive and/or engage an implement having a lip or raised rim, such as a beverage cup, is disclosed. The indentation may comprise a threaded configuration, or a series of grooves, suitable for engaging an implement having a lip or rim, such as beverage cup. The indentation may be a raised indentation or a recessed indentation, and may be closed or open to the top of the plate. The plate may also include at least one or more slits therein, the slits being capable of receiving therein an eating implement, such as a spoon, fork or knife. Engaging a drinking implement having a lip and/or rim with the indentation at the bottom surface of the plate accommodates the secure attachment of the drinking implement to the plate, permitting the user to accommodate the plate and a beverage implement (cup) securely, and with one hand.

A method for manufacturing a product, such a disposable cutlery, manufactured of a fibre material, includes feeding fibrous material as a material flow, binding the fibres into a coherent profile, and molding the cross-sectional profile of the profile into a blank with a desired cross-sectional profile using at least one roller pair or drum pair. The method further includes cutting products of the desired shape from the molded blank by aligning a cutting geometry of the products at the desired place on the blank.

Edible tableware made from a baked dough capable of holding warm liquids for an extended period of time without leakage and a method of making the same. Edible tableware has recently become an area of interest due to a desire to provide more environmentally friendly options for disposable tableware. In disposable tableware, when using paper instead of plastic, the paper that is used to make the disposable tableware is liquid resistant due to a wax or plastic coating. Existing edible tableware has taken a similar approach and uses a heavy sugar glaze as a way of keeping liquids from penetrating into the baked part of the tableware. The use of a sugar glaze is not ideal because an imperfect glazing or too light of a glazing can result in liquid penetrating the baked portion and causing leakage and/or structural failure. Further, the extra sugar contained in the glazing may be undesirable to the consumer. Accordingly, there is a need for edible tableware that does not require a separate glaze for liquid resistance.

A portable caddy for disposable tableware comprising: one or more multipurpose platforms for placing tableware, a plurality of concentric vertical legs, with provision for attaching multiple holders for accessories such as bowls, cups, spoons, forks, knives, napkins, stirrers, etc. Furthermore, the caddy may be assembled in table-top mode or in free-standing floor mode with the help of extender leg attachments. The extender legs have provision for attaching one or two or more plastic bags or baskets for separately collecting organic waste or recyclable materials. Platforms may be designed strong enough to hold heavier objects so that the caddy functions as a multipurpose stand.
