Plates, wide rim, oval, show & glass

Today the 31st January 2008…… (this post was in my draft unpublished for some reason)I received some new plates. From bottom left clockwise.

A Show Plate which has a round center raised with arched edges, looks impressive but has a feel that it will not last our tuff surrounds.

The next is an oval deep bowl with a very delicate center indent, ideal for pasta or salads.

Now the really deep wide rim huge bowl, this is special in that it has a deep center which actually holds the same amount of liquid as our standard soup bowl and is very deceiving. With the wide rim it gives a greater feeling of massive.

Now to my favorite, the Glass plate with bubbles in, if that’s a good way to explain it. The only negative thing I find about the glass plate is that it has little or no raise on the edge which makes it difficult to place on the table and pick up.

It is always exciting to receive new and modern equipment an plates are a very important part of the restaurant equipment. With great plates you have a place to present your food to showcase it to the maximum. You have then 50% of the meal in the bag The Presentation. The rest is down to you to ensure it is cooked to perfection and tastes great.

Happy cooking.
