Dinner bowls: not quite a bowl, not entirely a plate
If you’re taking a deeper dive into cooking for that special someone or the entire family, get plateware that will help you put your culinary creations on display and raise the elegance of the experience.
Think of deep plates as providing an amphitheater-like stage for your dishes that cradles and holds sauces and ingredients in place. As opposed to flat plates, bowl plates make it easier to plate eye-catching meals and to keep the look you’re after together as you take plated dishes from the kitchen counter to the dining room table.
Picture seared venison or braised carrots seated atop risotto surrounded by a dark moat of mushroom demi glaze. Get the perfect pasta plate for holding tortellini en brodo or for helping you twirl your Sunday night spaghetti. Besides helping you serve up brothy dishes like mussels or clams and spaghetti, deep plates are elegant serving dishes for soups, rustic bread and starters like Caesar salad that require a healthy bit of mixing free of worry about making a mess. Use bowl plates to hold aioli or dipping sauces for appetizers such as fried smelts or roasted potato wedges.
