OT - \'PLATE SETTER\' or \'PLACE SETTER\'???

Eggtucky

Call me anal, call me an a**hole, I don't mean to be either..but the accessory shown in this pic...


Is called a plaTe setter...NOT plaCe setter!!
direct from the BGE site...
"Plate Setters
The Plate Setter is used for indirect cooking on the Big Green Egg. It is a ceramic heat shield that functions by providing a barrier between the food and the fire. The design of the Plate Setter (a flat ceramic disc with three "legs") allows sufficient airflow around the surface while preventing the flames and direct heat of the fire from reaching the food. Nothing will contribute greater versatility to your outdoor cooking than adding a Plate Setter to your accessories collection..."

I don't know the origin of the word relative to the BGE, typically a platesetter is a machine which receives a raster image from a raster image processor and in turn, creates a lithographic plate suitable for use on an offset press.

Either way folks, just FYI, it is NOT plaCe setter!! :blink: :blink:

"platesetters" are also commonly referred to items used in kilns to place clay pieces on for firing in kilns. ..and they look just like the BGE platesetters, ergo the name. . ..
