Die richtige Wahl des Keramikgeschirrs für verschiedene Gerichte

The right choice of ceramic tableware for different dishes

Reading time: 7 minutes

Ceramic tableware is not only a beautiful eye-catcher on the table, but also functional and versatile. Depending on the dish and occasion, there are certain types of ceramic tableware that are ideal. In this article, you will learn how to choose the right tableware for your dishes and what you should pay attention to.


1. Soups and stews

For liquid dishes such as soups and stews, choosing the right ceramic tableware is crucial to retain heat and provide a pleasant dining experience. Stoneware bowls are ideal as they retain heat well and offer a rustic look that is particularly appreciated for traditional dishes. Deep dishes are important here to serve the portions attractively and prevent the food from cooling down​ ( The Kitchn ).


2. Pasta and risotto

When presenting pasta or risotto, tableware plays a big role. Wide, flat plates are particularly suitable for showcasing these dishes. A colorful set of tableware can add color accents and enhance visual enjoyment. Make sure the plates are large enough to spread the pasta or risotto out widely, which not only makes the dish look appealing but also easier to eat.


3. Salads and starters

For salads and appetizers , medium-sized bowls or flat plates are ideal. Ceramic dishes with a slight indentation are perfect for holding dressings and sauces without them spilling over the edge. A vintage tableware look can be an elegant choice here for special occasions or theme nights, while brightly colored bowls from a colorful tableware set add extra freshness and vibrancy to the salad​ ( Pito ).


4. Meat dishes and main courses

For meat dishes and other main courses , large, flat plates or platters are recommended, which offer enough space to present the different components of the dish attractively. Choosing stoneware tableware sets can be an advantage here, as stoneware is robust and retains the heat of the food for longer. This is especially important for dishes that should be served hot, such as steaks or roasts.


5. Dessert

For desserts, smaller ceramic dishes are suitable, which give the dessert the right setting without overwhelming it. Bowls and small plates made of porcelain or stoneware are ideal here. A colorful set of dishes can emphasize the colors of the dish, especially with fruity desserts or ice cream. Make sure that the dishes go well with the sweet dishes served and round off the presentation.
