- Why Trust The Spruce Eats?
We sent dinnerware sets to our experienced home chefs and product testers, who used them to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, and snacks during the trial period. Our testers then offered additional insights on each dinnerware set's strengths and weaknesses, rating each one on several important attributes.
What comes in a typical dinnerware set?
Basic dinnerware sets include a dinner plate and bowl and at least one or two other pieces. The additional pieces are either a salad plate and/or a coffee mug. Occasionally, two bowls are included in a set: both pasta bowlsand cereal bowls. Most dinnerware sets serve at least three people, although four or more sets are also standard.
What is the most durable dinnerware?
While you might not expect it, bone china is the most durable dinnerware. Its high-heat firing makes bone china resistant to chipping, as well as microwave, dishwasher, and oven safe. If you’re concerned about plates breaking more than overall functionality, melamine-based plates are mostly indestructible when dropped but often cannot be used in the microwave.
What is open stock dinnerware?
Open stock dinnerware is generally made up of pieces that can be purchased individually. This can be helpful when you want to assemble a collection of pieces that differs from the pre-selected set or if you need to fill in your set when individual pieces are lost. Occasionally, other coordinating dinnerware and serveware pieces that aren’t included in a set are sold as open stock if you’re interested in growing your dining collection.
