A system of place-setting components used to facilitate serving and eating healthy food portions. The place-setting system comprising: a plate and a nestable set of two or more serving spoons. The plate includes one or more serving areas corresponding to a portion size for one or more food components of a meal. Each of the serving spoons in the nestable set includes a bowl-shaped cup and a handle. The handle of the serving spoons comprising: a first segment, extending distally from the proximal end of the handle, with a portion of a distal-most section of the first segment extending upward; a second segment connected to the first segment, with the second segment extending downward; a third segment connected to the second segment, with the third segment extending generally upward; and a fourth segment connected to the third segment, with the fourth segment extending generally distally.

A serving container includes a structure for holding one or more utensils. In one approach, a removable insert is provided within the holding structure. In another approach, the holding structure is removable and forms a part of the sidewall of the serving container. The holding structure can also be embodied in a ledge sized to receive a handle of a utensil or can be formed on a lid to the serving container.

A retainer arrangement for arranging a serving utensil to a top edge protruding from a wall of a serving dish. The retainer arrangement comprises a support element having at least two holding partitions arranged substantially orthogonally to each other and configured to protrude from the support element and to be guidable below the top edge of the serving dish, a main surface of the support element arranged substantially parallel to a top surface of the top edge of the serving dish and configured to contact the top surface. The retainer arrangement also comprises a fastening element having at least one locking element configured to contact an inner surface of the wall of the serving dish, the fastening element protruding in relation to the top edge of the serving dish and configured to receive the serving utensil to be set on the retainer arrangement.

A concentric handle for hand spreading is held in a container. A circular disc is shaped to be concentrically press fit into a circular top mouth opening of the container. The circular disc forms a handle for grasping by fingers of a user. A spreader is integrally formed in the disc extending downward. An upper outer flanged circular ring is integrally formed in the disc to prevent the disc from fitting too deeply into the circular top mouth opening. A lower seal beneath the upper outer flanged circular ring extends around a lower perimeter of the circular disc and positioned between the circular disc and a top edge of the circular top mouth opening of the container. The lower seal can have a grab tab. The circular disc can have a vent hole and a flexible membrane fixed over the vent hole.

A rotationally locking container includes a body and a lid, with a sealing structure provided between the body and the lid. A rotational locking structure is provided between said body and said lid. The rotational locking structure includes a downwardly recessed rotating groove provided on the lid, a knob disposed within the rotating groove, and at least two outwardly extending locking tabs provided on the knob. The mouth of the body is provided with a protruding edge extending upwardly beyond the lid, and said protruding edge is provided with at least two locking holes, wherein the locking tabs are configured to cooperate with the locking holes. Compared to existing containers on the market, the adoption of the rotational locking structure, wherein the cooperation between the locking tabs and the locking holes is less prone to wear, offers the advantages of simpler operation, more reliable locking, and a longer service life.
