About products and suppliers

Dinner sets are kitchen utensils such as dishes, glassware, and cutlery used to bring and serve food on the table. They are different from cookware because most of them are not involved with heating. Culturally, dinnerware sets are identical to regions. For instance, in the Middle East and India, the serving of food is limited to large dishes and trays. The US and Europe, in contrast, use dinner plates, spoons, and forks at the very basic. Knowing this helps you determine which regions demand your products more. Thus you are more likely to earn more when you supply plates and bowl sets in Western nations compared to large trays.

How do you set a dinner table?

To achieve the practical and decorative purpose of dinnerware, you need to set them correctly. Common types of dinnerware settings are basic, casual, and formal. Basic dinner settings require a fork, napkin, glass, and a melamine plate. You can use ceramic or lustrously finished Corelle dinner plate sets in place of ceramic. To set up a basic dinner table, place the dinner plate right in front of the chair, followed by a napkin and the fork on the left. On the right is a knife, and next to it is a glass which may be substituted for a coffee cup.

Casual dinner sets are slightly complicated, involving salad and dinner forks, soup and teaspoons, dinner knife and butter spreader, bread and serving plates, and water and wine glasses. Make sure the forks, butter spreader, and bread plate are on the left, while on the right, place the glasses, spoons, and the diner knife.

Lastly, in addition to the casual setting’s silverware, in a formal setting, a dessert spoon and fork, an extra wine glass, a salad knife, and a cup and saucer are included. Though this formal dinner table setting method is standard in fine dining restaurants, use it at home when serving more than three courses.
