Congratulations to PlateTopper for being named the Best Housewares Invention at the 2009 International Home + Housewares Show! Out of a field packed with creative and innovative products, PlateTopper stood out with its ingenious design that keeps food fresh right on the plate. Simple, clever, and immediately useful — everything a great housewares product should be.

The judges were impressed by PlateTopper’s combination of practicality and smart engineering. It’s one of those products that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.
