I really like this one too -I plan on getting a couple more before the end of Feb! I just had a past host order 5 of them....she had ordered 2 before, but wanted to have enough for her whole family... She uses them for individual pizzas, nachos, and dim sum! She has 2 sets of the petite squares, and she heats up the individual dim sum plates for her family, and sets a square in the middle of each plate....then their Dim Sum stays warm while they eat. I thought that was a great idea.
