A dinner plate is more than a simple tableware for presenting food, and it has a huge influence on dining. Selecting a proper size of a dinner plate will not only be conducive to beautifying the plate, but also contribute to enhancing the comfort and practicality in dinning. Therefore, if you are a consumer or tableware supplier, your concept about the size of the standard dinner plate would enable you to choose proper products in light of actual needs. This article will take you through the standard dinner plate sizes and selection tips, and recommend a high-quality wholesale ceramic dinner plate series provided by Yongjian-Keramik.
Definition and size of standard dinner plates
Common sizes of standard dinner plates
Generally, the diameter of the internationally common standard plates is 10-12 inches (about 25-30 cm), which is suitable for daily main dishes.
For home, restaurant or banquet occasions, different needs will lead to slight differences in size. For example:
- Family dining: prefer small plates of 8-10 inches for easy storage.
- Restaurant or banquet: prefer 10-12-inch dinner plates to accommodate rich presentation content.
Regional and cultural differences
- In Western countries, large-sized plates (10-12 inches) are the mainstream, focusing on the visual effect of food presentation.
- In Asia, the size of dinner plates is generally small, usually 8-10 inches, because family dining focuses more on sharing dishes.
Size of dinner plates with different functions
- Dinner plate: 10-12 inches, for main dishes.
- Salad plate: 7-9 inches, suitable for salads or snacks.
- Bread plate: 5-7 inches, for bread and desserts.
Impact of dinner plate size on use
Dining plating and aesthetics
- The size of the plate directly affects the plating effect: large-sized dinner plates are more suitable for exquisite decoration, while small-sized plates are more convenient for sharing dishes with family members.
- The right size of the plate can better show the color and texture of the food.
Eating habits and psychological impact
- Although large dinner plates have outstanding visual effects, it is easy for people to put too much food and cause waste.
- Small dinner plates help control the amount of food eaten and make the table more orderly.
Actual scene requirements
- Daily family meals: prefer small and medium-sized dinner plates for easy cleaning and storage.
- Commercial catering: The size of the dinner plate needs to be standardized to facilitate the operation of service staff and table placement.
How to choose the right plate size?
Choose according to the occasion
- Daily family use: 8-10-inch plates are recommended, which are both practical and suitable for small families.
- For restaurant banquets: 10-12-inch large plates are recommended, which are more in line with the requirements of exquisite plating.
Consider tableware matching
- Make sure the size of the plate is coordinated with other tableware (such as bowls, tea cups, and table knives) to avoid visual disharmony.
Consider storage and cleaning
- Although large-sized plates are suitable for banquets, they may require more storage space.
- Choose a size suitable for storage and cleaning according to the capacity of the home kitchen or restaurant kitchen equipment.
