Hecef
Instagram's favorite platter. The natural stone looks effortlessly stylish, and you can chalk labels directly on the surface. Cheese has never looked better.

For regular entertaining: 3-4 in varied sizes and shapes. One large for mains, two medium for sides/appetizers, one casual/outdoor option. Build your collection based on how you actually entertain.
Check material: porcelain, stoneware, and some ceramics are usually oven-safe (check max temps). Never: melamine, wood, or slate. Glass varies—verify before heating. When in doubt, transfer to platter after cooking.
Damp paper towel under the platter on buffet tables. For food on platter: a bed of greens, rice, or sauce prevents sliding. Professional caterers use rubber grippy mats—Amazon has them.
Quality platters last decades and appear at every gathering. Unlike plates that sit in cabinets, platters are displayed—guests notice. Invest in pieces you love looking at. That said, outdoor/casual events don't need fine porcelain.
