My Wal-Mart plates sit flat, they really do look like Fiestaware from a
distance. I've made ever so many loaves of bread in the serving bowls which sit
nice and don't skitter around while I'm mixing.
Again I don't see any "better" in more expensive dishes. We do have some
expensive dishes and recently I was very sad when one of our handmade bowls got
broken. We'd had it maybe 10 years, not sure if that potter is still in
business.
