Guests arriving for dinner in 30 minutes

Get several long sticks. Spin a plate on each stick. Problem solved.

The stick is both stiff enough and not until the door opens

It looks like a sliding door, so it's even easier. Just slowly slide it open enough to get a serving spoon or spatula through to hold the bowls.

Yep, forget the glass. I would probably break the window above it under a bath towel and remove them one by one. Buddy required. Not saying to try it.

Edit: Expletives. Just open the right hand side.
