What are wooden serving platters best suited for?

The natural charm of a wooden serving platter brings warmth and cosiness to your table. Whether you want to arrange a cheese and salami platter, slice bread, present antipasti or barbecued food, our wooden serving plates help you serve it all in style. You'll find various wood types and finishes, for example elegant acacia wood or bamboo. The natural grain makes each platter unique and combines well with chopping boards in similar wood types and with kitchen utensils in stainless steel or glass.

What are the differences between serving platters in stainless steel and porcelain?

Stainless steel serving platters stand out for hygiene, robustness and a modern look. Therefore, they suit modern and industrial interior styles brilliantly. They're dishwasher-safe, rust-free and also suitable for use in the garden or on the balcony. Serving platters in porcelain or ceramic, on the other hand, exude elegance and classic style. Porcelain is heat-resistant, long-lasting and versatile to combine. It's perfect for festive occasions, Sunday brunch or coffee gatherings. Both materials are easy to care for and keep their beauty for a long time. If you combine them – for example a stainless steel serving platter with porcelain tableware and stainless steel cutlery – you can create exciting stylistic contrasts on the table.

Should I buy a small or large serving platter?

Small platters are perfect for serving snacks, starters or desserts, while large serving platters and XXL models offer plenty of space for buffets, family celebrations and receptions. This way everything can be presented clearly, from finger food to barbecued food. Whether for a few guests or large gatherings, the right serving platter makes entertaining easier. If you want to expand your buffet with sides and dips, you'll also find matching bowls and small dishes with us. And for even more presentation space in a small area, take a look at our cake stands and tiered servers.

Is a rotating serving platter worth it in both small and large households?

Definitely. Whether on the dining table, on the bar, for coffee and cake or snacks in the living room, with a rotating serving platter, sociable gatherings (with varying numbers of participants) are even more fun. All dishes can be comfortably reached from all sides. Rotating serving platters are therefore ideal for tapas, dips, starters, Asian dishes or finger food. You'll find a practical, space-saving version with us that you simply place in the middle of the table – and everyone can help themselves. This encourages togetherness and makes eating communicative.

Are there serving platters with lids or handles?

At IKEA you get serving platters with lots of practical details. On serving platters with lids, you can serve food particularly elegantly. They keep food fresh, protect it from insects and dirt and are good for transport. If you're looking for other mobile options, also take a look at our serving platters with handles for easy carrying – or discover IKEA serving trolleys with multiple tiers on wheels. Handy extras like dividers and stackable platters make serving easier and storage more efficient – a small detail that makes a big difference.
