Choosing your presentation dish

Which shape for which service?

Rectangular formats suit linear plating, finger food and loaf cakes. Round shapes work for tarts and centred compositions. The choice depends on the type of food and the layout of the table or buffet.

Porcelain or glass?

Porcelain offers durability and visual neutrality, suited to intensive restaurant use. Glass brings transparency and lightness, useful to highlight colourful preparations.

What size for how many guests?

A large dish makes sharing service easier for several guests, while a smaller format suits individual presentations or small tables. Also consider storage space and dishwasher compatibility.

Oven and dishwasher safe?

Some presentation dishes can go in the oven for serving straight from cooking. Check the details of each reference, particularly for glass or decorated models.
