When you're not cooking for a family, leftovers become an important issue. A couple nights ago I baked a full sized pizza and had a good sized portion of it left over. So I put the leftover pizza on a Pfaltzgraff plate and tried to find a place in the refrigerator to put it. The refrigerator was kind of stuffed so it was hard to find a fairly level place to put the plate, but I found an area on top of stuff that I thought would be stable. Well guess what? Some time later I open the refrigerator and the plate with the leftover pizza comes sailing out, turns over and hits the floor bottom side up.
My worst fear was that I would have a shattered dinner plate on my kitchen floor. But Pfaltzgraff dishes have two endearing qualities, thick and heavy. I picked up the plate from the floor and upon examination the plate was entirely intact. No cracks, no chips, no scratches. It is in the dishwasher now as I am writing this.
I have always said that if a missile ever hit my house, when they sift the ashes, they will find two things. The Griswold cast iron skillets and the Pfaltzgraff dishes.
