Without dishes there is no and will not be a comfortable meal and its preparation - this is obvious. And if in ancient times people used rather primitive, and sometimes even ugly devices for cooking and eating, then today one of the criteria for acquiring kitchen utensils is its aesthetics, and not just functionality. Beautiful and stylish dishes are important for all household members taking part in family dinners, celebrations and culinary experiments.
Decorative and collection
However, devices may not be used for their intended purpose. It happens to see those who deserve to take the most prominent place in order to admire them. For example, this is a stylish tableware for the home, made by very talented craftsmen-designers. The aesthetic pleasure received from the contemplation of such a masterpiece, connoisseurs of the beautiful are not even able to describe. Masters invest not only all their talent and imagination in the design of decorative utensils, but also ethnic particles of the locality in which they live. This beautiful and original dishware, of course, has a huge cost. However, this fact is not restraining for true connoisseurs of everything exclusive and sophisticated. Plates of various shapes and designs, dishes, tea cups, fruit coasters - all this looks so magnificent that it often remains forever a decoration, although it has been able to serve faithfully for more than a dozen years to its owners.
Beautiful and functional
Stylish kitchen utensils may not have such a huge price as collectible decorative items. However, she is able to decorate this corner of comfort and deliver a lot of pleasant moments to those who use it or admire it.
Oven Forms
Glass refractory forms for use in the oven are very pleasant, according to many hostesses. The positive qualities of this category of home stylish dishes for the kitchen include its appearance and transparency of the walls. Casseroles and cakes made in glass allow you to follow the nuances in the cooking process. Your food will not remain raw inside, as it happens if the contents of the container are not visible.
Glass is environmentally friendly. It does not react with products and does not spoil the taste and aroma of the dish. Glass molds for the oven have an aesthetic appearance. And for this reason, this category of kitchen utensils is a very stylish tableware for serving a dinner and even a festive table.
Tempered thick glass does not only tolerate very high temperature conditions, it can also keep food in the refrigerator (not in the freezer). The good qualities of cookware include the tolerance of cleaning agents (which cannot be said about other non-stick pans and pots).
Of course, your food will not burn during cooking, but do not forget about the careful handling of any dishes, and glass too. Do not place such utensils from a hot oven directly on a chilled surface. This rash action can rob you of your favorite casserole dish. Dishes may burst, making it completely unusable.
Faience and porcelain
This comfortable and stylish tableware is one of the most commonly used household items. Each house has a set of plates and other food attributes suitable for them. Salt shakers, pepper shakers, oilers, tea cups and earthenware mugs have increased hygiene due to the fact that they are glazed objects. Glaze protects the pores of dishes from the penetration of organisms not very friendly to the human gastrointestinal tract.
Design and color palette
The most common are round versions of plates and saucers. Although right now, rectangular ones are increasingly being used. The color scheme used in the production is distinguished by its diversity. Kitchen plates and mugs can have not only classic shades, but also more modernized ones. Now, according to customer reviews, greater preference is given to square stylish dishes (plates) of dark shades. Black plates do not surprise anyone today.
Utensils made from these materials are easy to clean. Earthenware can even be washed in a special dishwashing machine. Just do not load appliances with sparkles and rims in your dishwasher.
Stylish dishes - terracotta
Clay bowls, cups and baking pots are called one common term - terracotta. For their manufacture, red clay is used with firing at high temperature. Clay utensils calmly endure exploitation in the oven, however, open fire is destructive for it.
Good points and not so
Hazardous toxic substances are not released when such dishes are heated, respectively, food cooked in a pot is safe. The surface of the pottery does not collect scale; its walls always remain clean in this sense.
But such dishes absorb the smells quickly, and they do not disappear for a long time. For this reason, try not to store too aromatic products (onions, garlic, fish) and dishes in which such products are present.
Crystal
Stylish glassware from crystal will always be desired in any dining room. We are talking about good expensive crystal. Such a transparent and emitting a gentle musical ringing, if you lightly touch it with something. In crystal glasses, wine looks like a girl in an evening dress - elegant and solemn. Salad bowls, fruit vases and wineglasses made of their crystal and decorated with a shallow pattern or face are the essential elements of a festive table.
Stylish tableware made of thin glass or crystal, of course, looks great. However, care crystal things require special. Always remember one rule: it is forbidden to wash crystal with hot water! Microscopic damage appears from such thermal effects on the fragile walls of wine glasses and salad bowls. You may not notice this at first. And then it will be too late. Crystal from hot water jets becomes cloudy and ceases to look solemn.
Disposable
High-quality stylish disposable tableware took hearts and even compartments in the closets of many housewives. Reviews of such disposable devices in most cases are positive. However, there is nothing surprising here. The one-time option is great for picnic trips. The dishes are light, and transporting them to a gathering place for a picnic is not difficult. You know for sure that nothing will break on the way (as it would be with ceramics and glass), and after a fun holiday in the lap of nature, you can not think about who and how to wash it all.
In addition to a picnic, disposable appliances can be taken with you for mushrooms and berries - in order to refresh yourself in nature. For long car trips and for traveling by train, plastic disposable tableware is a good option. The design of the plastic sets is pretty cute. This allows the use of such devices not only in natural conditions. During a noisy fun party taking place in the country or in the house, you can use them too.
Young housewives today also hate splashing under the tap or in the basin when washing used dishes, so that they, without hesitation, buy such sets and use them in everyday life. They feed their household from plastic utensils and eat themselves. And then they just take the used sets of dishes into the trash. Nevertheless, these young ladies must remember that they are the keepers of comfort. But beautiful and high-quality dishes for comfort are very important.
After picnic
There is nothing easier and more convenient than replacing washing a huge mountain of dishes with half-eaten leftover food to get rid of it. We simply collect the leftovers in a garbage bag and send them to the garbage chute. We do the same with dishes used in the woods on a picnic: we grab them in a trash bag so as not to pollute nature and, having reached the first trash, we get rid of ballast.
