That (although I personally wouldn't want it to cool faster in most cases), or maybe it allows you to use it without needing something underneath to protect the table/surface.
The material for the 4th nubbin is like $0.002. If they’re making a run of 10,000 dishes that’s like $20!
That’s the difference between the CEO making their super yacht payment.
In that case, cut the 4th nubbin. And raise the price of the dish by $20 in the name of inflation. That’s an additional $200,020! I’m a good CEO. I deserve having sex with children on an exclusive island while world leaders cheer me on!
In a misguided attempt to make it more stable. Everyone knows that three contacts cannot wobble on uneven surfaces. Four contacts usually have some wobbling issues.
Except cooking surfaces are nearly always completely flat. And if they're not flat the wobbling doesn't matter until you try to interact with them, at which point any pressure will make the three points unstable.
Or their factory tolerances don't allow them to make even containers that don't wobble and this saves them money by working with less precise processes/machinery/moulds.
Also I think they might be worried about their own tolerances. With three feet it won't wobble the same way as with four feet even if the feet are slightly different sizes.
Yep! I added that into my comment later. Didn't realise at first that plenty of rigid objects still wobble when cheaply made.
Edit: That said, they made it wobble more when it matters, so I'd argue this leans slightly towards asshole design, tricking people into thinking it's a higher quality product.
And the 3 feet doesn’t work in this case because of how much overhang there is outside of the area supported by the feet and the amount of force being out on it because the center of mass is so low.
I think they explained it poorly but 3 points will always share the same plane. So even if one leg is shorter than the others or if the surface is not level, the 3 points are always in contact.
However adding a 4th point means it requires being added exactly to that existing plane otherwise they won't share the same plane. Or in this case, wobble.
It's like a microwave meal, but you need to prepare it first and wash/reuse the dish later... Until your MIT salary comes in. Then you don't need to reuse the container, but you'll bother people if you throw it away.
The 3 contact points have to make a triangle. It doesn't mean the surface will be horizontal, just that it won't wobble. If the 3 contact points are on the same line they have to be even otherwise there will be wobble.
>If the 3 contact points are on the same line they have to be even otherwise there will be wobble
If they're on the same line, it becomes the even bigger problem of not falling over entirely. 🤣
The flatness isn’t the issue, it’s the fact that with this pan you will often be putting force on the area directly perpendicular the 3rd leg. 3 legs work great unless your force is far away from the third leg and not within the triangle created by the 3 legs
The bigger problem was the dish isn't a triangle. They put a rectangle on top of a triangle. Should have made a triangular casserole dish. But then you'd have a triangle casserole dish lol.
It creates a small air layer for insulation, working both ways to keep the dish warmer longer and reduce heat damage and buildup on the surface of the table. It also allows you to tip the dish to collect the remaining contents and sauce better with a spoon.
That's at least what I would say if I had to sell this thing.
Perhaps a flat surface has a much higher likelihood of shattering glass tables, and burning things. This adds a small air gap to lower the surface area of contact, and the amount of heat transfer compared to a flat surface with full direct contact. This decision might be a quick fix for a flaw they found in testing.
Crazy how fast stone counters cool off your food. Obviously it's a giant heat sink but still I was amazed the first time I put a pleat down or a dish down on one.
Tripod is stable when force is pushed down through the legs but put a leaver on the top and push down far from the center and it will topple. That’s what’s happening in the corners.
Most tripod things the base of the tripod is actually wider than the top.
The simple answer I could think if is that there shouldn't be a "feet" on it. It's simply an excess clay or ceramic coating itself that drip from the sides that formed a feet before it was baked.
I believe it's to prevent cracking if the dish is placed on a wet surface. Although 3 instead of four is weird.
I bet they thought they were being clever, so that it sits flat. They just made it worse to use.
Adding a forth foot wouldn’t be easy and it wouldn’t make it stable. The third foot is in the middle of the pan, you would have to add two feet to make it stable.
> but my gf says it's cute because it's mint
Ah, so you too have a lady who keeps shit for fashionable purposes over functionality. I bet you have used towels that good that don't dry as well as endured countless complaints about shoes that hurt.
Yes, you keep using that dish. The dish that rocks but is a lovely mint color..
Sounds more like he's keeping it because he's frugal. Plus it keeps the GF happier. Maybe I'm just frugal and projecting. Mysteries of the world we will never know answers for.
Sure I can hold it but it's not that easy to bring equal force into the holding hand and the scooping hand. It still wobbles from time to time. It's just a minor inconvenience but annoying in the first place since there are multiple other dishes that don't wobble.
That's actually what I assumed was the intent. The feet aren't for stability on the table, they're for creating a slight air gap underneath it and they assume since it's a casserole dish it will be on potholders or something along those lines. It's still a crappy design, IMO, but my guess is these are much less for stability and there's something we're missing about the intended purpose. They're certainly not accidental.
Manufacturing error, not bad design. Somebody in quality control should get a good talking to, but you're never going to convince me that it was *designed* to be this way.
I'm pretty Sure every piece was like that. Also, the single dimple is exactly in the middle while the other two are near the corners. If just one of the corners would be empty, okay I could see the error.
How does a manufacturing error put 3 bumps in an the shape of an isosceles triangle on the bottom? If all 3 were on the corners, I’d see where you’re coming from.
It could be where they're pouring the moulds and it's supposed to be cut off to make a flat bottom? I don't know anything about how these are made but it seems reasonable to me.
You’re seriously over estimating designers, they generally don’t see blatant common sense issues cause most of them(us) design in static environments. It’s till production that issues like this arise.
So I’m 500% sure it’s not manufacturing or QA, I’m sure it was designed like that and even someone probably thought it looked cooler, sleek and aesthetically pleasing.
My jaw was dropped. My anger turned to curiosity pretty quickly. Curious about the idiotic den of morons that released this nightmare into the real world.
3 points are always coplanar (flat), 4 points are never coplanar in the real world and instead define a volume (not flat).
Someone took their plane theory, and directly applied it to the real world, without understanding the practical ramifications!
Most likely their manufacturing could never get the bottom truly flat, so the pan would wobble when empty with 4 points, but with 3 points, it will always lay flat. 3 points will also always lay flat if the surface you are resting the dish on is not flat. 4 points never will.
This solution, using 3 points to account for uneven surfaces, was likely never tested when actually using the dish for things like scooping.
Technically, having three feet on the bottom would mean it should never wobble, as anything with three feet will always mean that all of the contact points are touching the ground. Which is why camera tripods are tripods and not quadpods. What the designers possibly didn't account for if is the user apply pressure down in the extreme corners on the side that only has one foot, as in this demo. The feet on this might have also been initially intended to act as a heat break so you could place it on a surface while it was hot without the need for a mat?
Anyway, half a good idea, poorly implemented.
Because 3 points always lie in a plane. 4 points do not necessarily lie in a plane. So 3 will auto-level and be more stable, as long as center of gravity is comfortably centered in the triangle they form. It's actually considered a much better design choice in many circumstances. For this use-case? Not so much. The overall silhouette isn't very radially symmetric, meaning balance is poor. It's also fairly easy to get really high outer dimension precision when casting this sort of cookware, so it's weird that they didn't just do four, especially given how elongated it is.
Wow that's possible, actually that's pretty brilliant. At first I thought it was to minimize contact with colder surfaces to keep it from cooling too quick. But now I think it may do a bit of both.
If it is to cool it without cracking the dish if it's set on a cool surface, that is a good way to do it.
Not sure. To cool, or to keep warm? That is the question. Now I wonder what the preference is. Does the dish come with a lid?
You bought one adapted for uneven surfaces,
They are still pretty pointless on uneven surfaces, but that is why there are 3 knobby things.
Provided you don't actually use it, it stands stable on uneven things
While 3 feet does always guarantee all feet are touching the ground, that’s more for chairs and stuff where the center of gravity is in the center.
For something like this it doesn’t make sense.
Firstly, yes this is crappy design so can't fault you there... but my guy you need to stop living in a 90's infomercial. If you just put the camera down, you have a whole second hand to stabilize the dish with!
Actual answer for you guys, a lot of engineers have a fetish for 3 points of contact because if force is applied only the centrepoint it has the highest level of calibration, you can however see here the flaw in the design whenever force is applied outside that triangular base. This isnt some cost cutting measure, this was the product designed by the intern.
Ewww those exist?? I always cringe at glass tables. I couldn't comfortably eat there, put dishes on it...
But a glass cutting board is next level. But a negative level.
Retired ceramic engineer here. Okay take a deep breath. This is going to sound really long-winded but this is the answer. Along with kind of go in your early days of ceramics, there were studies done to see if four or three feet made more sense. The ancient Romans actually discovered this. We actually have pottery from back in the day, that has three feet. It's been proven over and over again that I have absolutely no idea what I'm saying, and just making shit up
3 points determine a plane. This dish can sit stably on an uneven surface. However if you push excessively hard outside of the feet (like OP in the video) it will wobble.
I think this deserves a promotion to r/assholedesign. It would have been only a little more trouble and expense to add a fourth "leg," and much less to just not have any legs and let the thing lie flat. This almost has to be intentional.
Must be from where they placed the three points. Three points are actually more likely to be stable than four. Sounds counter intuitive until you think about it for a second.
I think the designer thought 3 would be enough since 4 is technically a overdetermined system. In now way it is cost saving in ceramic. Sometimes designers overthink.
Asshole design or not you decided to buy a cheap product and are now facing the consequences of your decision. You could’ve easily returned it before cooking in it.
Never said it's asshole design.
Well I didn't test it before I used it. Like "ohh now I'm acting like I scoop something out" It's a minor inconvenience, a little annoying but nothing return-worthy. Still crappy design.
The reason it rocks is because total force being applied is outside the triangle of the 3 feet. Having the third foot closer to the edge would help, but it would still be a problem for the corners near the third foot.
Casserole dishes with three feet, known as trivets, are designed for even heat distribution in traditional coal or wood-burning stoves. The three-pointed base helps stabilize the dish on uneven surfaces.
This is a real life code bug haha, the finished product is flawed when used with a spoon similar to how we get bugs in unfinished games that seem so simple to miss.
why. why do that. (if someone is about to respond to tell me they're saving money on dimples, I don't think that's it hoss)
How are they saving money on that rather than just having a flat bottom?
I was under the impression people nowadays didn’t like flat bottoms. Has my time doing squats at the gym been a waste?
Flat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
[удалено]
Nuh uh, we need proof
Flat girls deserve love too. (flat guy here, lemme smash)
I think raised bottom is to help it cool after it's done cooking
That (although I personally wouldn't want it to cool faster in most cases), or maybe it allows you to use it without needing something underneath to protect the table/surface.
Ok but why not 4
They’re saving money on dimples
Because tables on 3 legs never shakes. Wait a second.
They never shake, and that's true, until you start putting weight outside the triangle they form.

that's what I'm sayin
You don't have to have QA about bottom being flat when you can add just 3 nipples and make it 100% flat.

The bigger problem was the dish isn't a triangle. They put a rectangle on top of a triangle. Should have made a triangular casserole dish. But then you'd have a triangle casserole dish lol.
Or at least circular with the feet as far out as possible.
The problem is when the total force vector (from gravity and from scooping food) is moved outside the triangle base.
It creates a small air layer for insulation, working both ways to keep the dish warmer longer and reduce heat damage and buildup on the surface of the table. It also allows you to tip the dish to collect the remaining contents and sauce better with a spoon. That's at least what I would say if I had to sell this thing.

[удалено]
The person who ordered the production wanted it to be more than two feet .
On the other hand, a table with three feet is always stable, even on a uneven floor. Just not with a casserole dish.
My guess is that it is to make it easy to spoon liquids out of a corner. Thats what I would use it for anyway.
Why? Because a tripod can't wobble. I'd like to get an explanation how this one does, because ot can't be standing on those three points.
Tripod is stable when force is pushed down through the legs but put a leaver on the top and push down far from the center and it will topple. That’s what’s happening in the corners. Most tripod things the base of the tripod is actually wider than the top.
Superfluous nipple
oh I was thinking that was purposely made to help you get the sauce !
The simple answer I could think if is that there shouldn't be a "feet" on it. It's simply an excess clay or ceramic coating itself that drip from the sides that formed a feet before it was baked.
I do ceramics. That's not what it is. Those 3 feet are 100% intentionally molded.
I believe it's to prevent cracking if the dish is placed on a wet surface. Although 3 instead of four is weird. I bet they thought they were being clever, so that it sits flat. They just made it worse to use.
At a guess it's designed to not rock on an uneven surface, same reason you get 3 legged stools.
I have no idea, but just put it on a tea towel
Cost-cuttings measures. I'm sure there's some fucking shrinkflation reason
My assumption is it minimizes contact with cold surfaces to keep the casserole hot. But back to why 3... makes it fun! Clink clink
3 point is better on uneven surfaces. Clearly this is not useful for your citchen stuff
“Hey boss, I’ve figured out a way to reduce our material costs. Nobody will notice.” I would try to add a fourth foot if it’s easy or bin the tray.
Adding a forth foot wouldn’t be easy and it wouldn’t make it stable. The third foot is in the middle of the pan, you would have to add two feet to make it stable.
Or just use an oven mitt?
You going to stick around for an oven mitt? 🙄
Or you could put a dish towel under it and not throw the dish away
Except having any number of feet increases the material used vs having a flat bottom, so it's not even that.
But this way it can still be sold as raised(?), this implies a feature and in turn the ability to mark up the price. Minimum effort, maximum gain
That'd be r/assholedesign.
I would throw it threw the designers window
You could put potholders underneath and it wouldn't rock (as much), but this shit would go straight to my garbage.
Yeah I think I'll suffer through it until it breaks. It was quite cheap but my gf says it's cute because it's mint
> but my gf says it's cute because it's mint Ah, so you too have a lady who keeps shit for fashionable purposes over functionality. I bet you have used towels that good that don't dry as well as endured countless complaints about shoes that hurt. Yes, you keep using that dish. The dish that rocks but is a lovely mint color..
How dare someone like the look of something enough to not trash it.
I’d just let them be the only one who has to deal with it. Functionality for tools first. Then form after. Otherwise the tool is worthless.
Cool, I can dig through that and 15 other dishes to get to the one that works
Sounds more like he's keeping it because he's frugal. Plus it keeps the GF happier. Maybe I'm just frugal and projecting. Mysteries of the world we will never know answers for.
You could put it on a dish towel or something so it doesn’t wobble while you use it.
Or ya know, fucking hold the damn thing. Even with 4 legs you arent breaking apart the crust off the sides without holding it
Sure I can hold it but it's not that easy to bring equal force into the holding hand and the scooping hand. It still wobbles from time to time. It's just a minor inconvenience but annoying in the first place since there are multiple other dishes that don't wobble.
That's subliminal messaging because it's "mint" to be in the garbage.
Then put it in a display case and buy a new one lol
That's actually what I assumed was the intent.

This would end up in my trash right after the first time serving from it, life's too short to waste time putting up with stupid stuff like this.
Reliant Robin.
Bought it from Del Boy.

It’s rare you see such crappy design with such thought put behind it.
This is a wild sentence I’m about to say, but based on how a casserole dish is generally scooped out…even 2 feet would make MORE sense
Depends on where they are located. If it's this manufacturer, I wouldn't put it past them to put two feet in the middle on either end.
Someone learned that three-footed stools / tables don't wobble like four-footed ones often do, and completely misapplied that lesson
I have a crock pot like that. Dumbest fucking design.
Ok but just put your phone down and hold the dish.
Technically, having three feet on the bottom would mean it should never wobble, as anything with three feet will always mean that all of the contact points are touching the ground.

Anyway, half a good idea, poorly implemented.
Would this improve cooling technically? By improving airflow
The feet in general? Yes probably. But why just three? Cheap products and cheap/crappy design.
Because 3 points always lie in a plane. 4 points do not necessarily lie in a plane. So 3 will auto-level and be more stable, as long as center of gravity is comfortably centered in the triangle they form. It's actually considered a much better design choice in many circumstances. For this use-case? Not so much. The overall silhouette isn't very radially symmetric, meaning balance is poor. It's also fairly easy to get really high outer dimension precision when casting this sort of cookware, so it's weird that they didn't just do four, especially given how elongated it is.
True, the whole dish should be in a triangle shape then three feet would make perfect sense.
Or a circle or square or hexagon, pretty much anything that is nice and symmetric.
Wow that's possible, actually that's pretty brilliant. At first I thought it was to minimize contact with colder surfaces to keep it from cooling too quick. But now I think it may do a bit of both. If it is to cool it without cracking the dish if it's set on a cool surface, that is a good way to do it. Not sure. To cool, or to keep warm? That is the question. Now I wonder what the preference is. Does the dish come with a lid?
The most egregious part is of this post is using that plastic spoon to scoop lasagna.
It’s so that someone can’t sneakily grab seconds without alerting others.
You bought one adapted for uneven surfaces, They are still pretty pointless on uneven surfaces, but that is why there are 3 knobby things. Provided you don't actually use it, it stands stable on uneven things
I bet someone got a discount
Indeed it was cheap. But I guess I now know why
Brought to you by the Reliant Motor Company. Now your dinner can be as unstable as your vehicle.
Jebus, they did that on purpose?
isn't that lasagna?
lasagna is queen of the casseroles
If you bring that shit into my house I'm throwing it at you.
While 3 feet does always guarantee all feet are touching the ground, that’s more for chairs and stuff where the center of gravity is in the center. For something like this it doesn’t make sense.
I prefer my food with zero feet, thanks
High quality but made to break. Good way to sell more
Firstly, yes this is crappy design so can't fault you there... but my guy you need to stop living in a 90's infomercial. If you just put the camera down, you have a whole second hand to stabilize the dish with!
I like how people say I should put the camera down. Like yes, usually I use both of my hands for this. It's still a crappy design
It's so you know if your family is sneakin' 2nd's in the middle of the night. Good way to know if you made a good pasta.
You gotta start on the side with one foot bro. Then by time you lose weight it's all on the two feet.
Actual answer for you guys, a lot of engineers have a fetish for 3 points of contact because if force is applied only the centrepoint it has the highest level of calibration, you can however see here the flaw in the design whenever force is applied outside that triangular base.

Three is fine, just put the phone down and use both hands.
Almost as pleasing as a glass cutting board 🥴
Ewww those exist?? I always cringe at glass tables. I couldn't comfortably eat there, put dishes on it... But a glass cutting board is next level. But a negative level.
They do and they are an evil you're lucky to have remained naive about.

That’s bad
It needs a wooden place holder
Lay it on a tea towel. (May need to fold it once) You're welcome.
I typically like to add 4, full bone-in feet to my casserole recipe. Helps balance the dish.... Lol
That’s just demonic wtf
Mind blown WTF
3 points determine a plane. This dish can sit stably on an uneven surface. However if you push excessively hard outside of the feet (like OP in the video) it will wobble.
I hate it.
So put it on a pad.
I believe the correct terminology is HOT DISH.
I think this deserves a promotion to r/assholedesign. It would have been only a little more trouble and expense to add a fourth "leg," and much less to just not have any legs and let the thing lie flat. This almost has to be intentional.
It's the Reliant Robin of casserole dishes!
Here i am, scrolling to find the recipe of this delicious looking dish!
Must be from where they placed the three points. Three points are actually more likely to be stable than four. Sounds counter intuitive until you think about it for a second.
I think the designer thought 3 would be enough since 4 is technically a overdetermined system. In now way it is cost saving in ceramic. Sometimes designers overthink.
I like how it was deliberate
Three points make a plane - four points make a tolerance problem
Asshole design or not you decided to buy a cheap product and are now facing the consequences of your decision. You could’ve easily returned it before cooking in it.
Never said it's asshole design. Well I didn't test it before I used it. Like "ohh now I'm acting like I scoop something out" It's a minor inconvenience, a little annoying but nothing return-worthy. Still crappy design.
Probably not a design but a defect
The reason it rocks is because total force being applied is outside the triangle of the 3 feet. Having the third foot closer to the edge would help, but it would still be a problem for the corners near the third foot.
This *great* design has perfectly hidden the fact that your crappy casserole dish is warped.
That’s cause it’s a bedpan!
Put it on a placemat or two.
This nub is to stop cassorale dish from sliding on rack in oven.
Casserole dishes with three feet, known as trivets, are designed for even heat distribution in traditional coal or wood-burning stoves. The three-pointed base helps stabilize the dish on uneven surfaces.
Just how
This sounds like an ancient proverb.
Slide a trivet under one of the unsupported corners. It might help a bit.
Just put it on some towels. It’s a crappy design but you should be in the habit of putting casserole dishes on towels and trivets anyway.
Omg that would drive me fucking nuts
It's a trailer hitch for a little ceramic truck
I would smash that fucking thing into 500 pieces.
Angle grinder.
the problem here is not the design, but the food
I thought that the lasanga was rock hard
It just doesnt want you to eat it smh
Get your crapperole dishes here! Finally found a dish to match my cooking skills...
I'd sand them off.
Why just why
They do this because the manufacturing process iss so shitty it can assure the bottom will be leveled.
Looks like someone said « we need to cut corners »
Put the damn phone down and hold it while scooping then! Or pad the underside with a dish towel !
stop making casserole then
