How do you choose a good platter?
A platter is an indispensable dish in every home. It allows you to conveniently serve dishes to pick up yourself, so it is perfect for everyday use as well as for parties. When purchasing, it is worth considering the following points:
- Choose a platter that suits your needs - if you are preparing dishes for a larger number of people, opt for products in larger sizes, while smaller ones will work well for serving dinner, such as chops.
- Choose crockery that will go well with your interior design. Consumers mainly opt for white ceramic or porcelain platters, which always look refined and blend in well with other items in the kitchen. There is also a choice of metal ware, which is very durable, and wooden ware, which brings a cosy atmosphere to the interiors.
- In the kitchen, crockery that is easy to clean, for example in the dishwasher, will work well. Make sure, however, that they are suitable for cleaning in this way.
- Choose a platterthatsuits your needs - the classics are, of course, oval-shaped dishes,which always look elegant, but you can also choose round-shaped tableware pieces - these are usually larger than dinner plates. We can also turn to modern, very designer rectangular platters.
What to serve on a serving platter?
Serving platters are ideal for displaying a variety of snacks at elegant parties, but also at gatherings with family and friends, for example on birthdays or name days. These types of dishes are suitable for serving:
- Vegetables, for example sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, as well as salad leaves.
- They are perfect for serving different kinds of cheese, including camembert, brie or cheddar, but also sliced meats, which, when wrapped effectively, will be an additional decoration for the table.
- The appetizer platters are suitable for serving small snacks such as toothpick appetizers, tortilla rolls or even nachos with cheese sauce in the middle.
- They can also be used for serving fruit, which is particularly suitable for parties with children. It is then a good idea to serve sliced strawberries, grapes or apples.
- Metal platters are ideal for serving hot meat, especially chops or roulades, as they will keep the food warm for longer.
Multi-purpose decorative platters
Richly decorated platters always make a striking appearance on the table. In a way, they catch the eye of those sitting at the table, who are sure to take notice of the delicious snacks. Many people also use them as a practical accessory for the hallway, where they can put their keys or wallet.
