This article is intended for persons over 18 years of age.

Are you over 18 already?

Tableware: how to choose

Previously, girls, having married, did not have to worry about the availability of pillows, blankets, tablecloths and dishes - their mothers and grandmothers had already taken care of this, for long years collecting a worthy dowry. Now these traditions are becoming a thing of the past, and women are increasingly choosing household items on their own. The same is true with tableware. What kind of plates, glasses and cups can not be found in shop windows! The variety of materials, designs and colors is simply amazing. But how to assemble exactly that ideal table service that will not only comply with the rules of etiquette, but also meet the tastes and needs of the hostess? Let's try to figure it out.

What is the utensils for?

Let's start with the fact that all dishes can be conditionally divided into three groups according to their purpose:

  • utensils for cooking (pots, frying pans, saucepans, ladles, etc.);
  • serving utensils (plates, salad bowls, dishes, gravy boats, etc.). Table glass (glasses, glasses, glasses, etc.) can also be attributed to this group;
  • utensils for storing food (dishes with a lid and all kinds of containers).


Putting together the perfect dinner set

What is a table service? Bridal Registry (English "wedding registry") offers the following list of serving items: individual dinner sets in the amount of 12 pieces, dishes for serving dishes (flat, deep dishes, gravy boats, tureen, dish for vegetables), as well as utensils for tea drinking - tea service, teapot, sugar bowl, coffee pot, creamer, cake stand or cake stand. Such a set of tableware complies with the rules of etiquette, moreover, the hostess can change its composition - remove the excess or add the serving items she needs, based on the needs of the menu.

What tableware is made of: an overview of materials

Etiquette is clear. But how to please the taste of a woman in choosing dishes? At this point, the manufacturers have gone too far, their eyes just run up: unusual materials, textures, drawings. But this is only outer side, let's understand the functionality and practicality.

The practicality of dishes entirely depends on what material it is made of.

So, serving utensils happen:

  • ceramic (porcelain, faience, clay);
  • glass and crystal;
  • metal;
  • wooden;
  • plastic and paper.

You can find dishes from other unusual materials, but their numbers are so small that they are not worth our attention. Let's deal with the main ones.

Ceramic tableware

Ceramics is the most popular material for making dinnerware. Such dishes are made from clays with certain additives (mineral and organic), fired in a kiln to the state of stone, and covered with glaze. Porcelain, faience, majolica and pottery - all this can be called in one word - ceramics.

Porcelain is ceramics highest quality, and the price for it will be appropriate. Porcelain products do not allow moisture to pass through, and the glaze is so hard that it is not scratched by a steel knife. When choosing porcelain dishes, pay attention to the color (it should be warm and delicate, like cream) and its translucency, because the main hallmark such a material is the ability to transmit light. This is especially true of soft porcelain: it includes Chinese, Japanese, French and English, in terms of transparency it resembles milk glass. And do not forget to tap on the edge of the dish: high-class porcelain “sings” very melodicly and for a long time.

Advantages: superior quality, strength, durability, thinness and translucency, exquisite design.

Flaws: high price.

Popular brands: MEISSEN and HEREND are porcelain used by the Queen of England and the Rothschilds. HEVILAND - Limoges porcelain (France). VILLEROY & BOCH - decal porcelain (Germany). WEDGWOOD - porcelain for the royal court (England), etc.

Crockery much more common than porcelain, and all thanks to its reasonable price. In terms of its properties, faience is significantly inferior to porcelain: it is more porous and less durable, it absorbs moisture, and the glaze is sensitive to temperature changes (therefore, such dishes should be washed only in warm water). Faience does not transmit light even in the thin spot. And if you knock on the edge of such a dish, you will hear a deaf low sound.

Advantages: lighter weight, environmental friendliness, practicality of daily use, reasonable price.

Flaws: low strength (15-25% lower than porcelain), simple shapes and design.

pottery in everyday life, we most often call it clay (the name is not entirely accurate, because porcelain is also made from clay, but this is how it was fixed in the language). It has a red-brown color and is most often glazed only on the inside, for contact with food. Such utensils are mainly used for cooking (pots) and food storage (jugs and jars). Who has not tried dishes from clay pots! By the way, they can cook food without water and oil.

There is also pottery for tableware. Eating from such plates is especially pleasant: they perfectly retain heat, carry a rustic flavor and create a cozy atmosphere at the table.

glass ceramics

This is a new generation material for the manufacture of dishes, which has a lot of advantages. What is it? Glass is first processed high temperatures ah, and then it crystallizes - this is how glass-ceramic is obtained. This material is not afraid of temperature changes: such dishes can be used for cooking in the oven or microwave, as well as for freezing food - nothing will happen to it.

Advantages: strength, environmental friendliness, ease of care, multifunctionality. Affordable price.

Flaws: not suitable for fine dining.

Most Popular Brand: Luminarc (France) — a huge range of glassware made of impact-resistant glass (from glasses and cups to plates and salad bowls) — perfect option for daily use in the kitchen, besides very budgetary.

Glass and crystal

Speaking of tableware, you can not ignore the glasses, glasses and glasses. This set of serving items is most often called table glass, but it is not always made from glass. Another transparent material for the manufacture of drinking utensils is crystal. What is the difference? It's all about transparency. “But glass is also transparent!” - you will say and you will be right. But in comparison of glass with crystal, the latter wins. It depends on the amount of lead added to the composition. If the lead content is above 10%, then the dishes can already be called crystal. Crystal tableware of the highest quality contains 30% lead. By the way, lead adds not only transparency to dishes, but also hardness and strength. And crystal “sings” much more melodicly.

Crystal Benefits: strength, perfect transparency, the ability to apply complex patterns.

Flaws: difficulty in care: so that the crystal does not lose its luster and does not become cloudy, it must be washed periodically in a weak acid solution (vinegar or lemon juice) and dry with a towel. High price.

Glass Benefits: A variety of shapes and colors, reasonable price.

Flaws: fragility.

One of the most popular elite world brands for the production of crystal is Waterford crystals (Ireland). Their products contain a record lead content of 33%, the production process is done by hand.

In Russia, crystal tableware has been made since 1756 at the Gusevsky Crystal Factory. Crystal, produced at the plant in the city of Gus-Khrustalny, is still popular in its homeland, and has also won world recognition.

metal utensils

For the manufacture of individual sets of dishes, metal is not used, but for serving tableware for general use - completely. Most often it is silver, cupronickel (an alloy of nickel and copper) and nickel silver (an alloy of copper and zinc). It is important that metal utensils had a protective coating (silver, tin, nickel) at least from the inside, otherwise it can only be used for decorative purposes.

Advantages: table decor with unusual plates, sugar bowls and coffee pots.

Flaws: difficulty in care, high price (silverware).

Wooden utensils

Wooden utensils are not suitable for cooking, but they are great for eating. Wooden plates, bowls and salad bowls are mostly common in Russia and Asian countries. Although in our country the tradition of using wooden utensils is a thing of the past, we all remember our grandmother's wooden bowls and spoons with Khokhloma or Gorodets painting. However, with the advent of Asian cuisine, wooden dishes also returned to Russia, although with the preservation of the oriental style.

Wooden utensils perfectly preserve food, and sometimes even enrich it with a new taste, for example, juniper or larch barrels are ideal for marinades, and wooden utensils are also “friends” with butter and honey. Important role plays what kind of wood the dishes are made of: it should be larch or conifers. Choose plates with a wall thickness of 5-8 mm, on thinner or thicker objects, cracks form faster. Be careful: the packaging should indicate that the dishes are intended for eating. If there is no such information, then ask the seller for a hygiene certificate. Before you start using wooden dishes, you need to oil them: wash, dry and grease with vegetable oil (linseed is best). Let the oil soak in, then wash the dishes as usual. In order for wooden utensils to serve you for a long time, periodically repeat the “oiling” procedure.

Advantages: strength (does not break), environmental friendliness, naturalness and comfort.

Flaws: darkens over time, can accumulate the smell of food, it is undesirable to wash in dishwasher.

Bamboo

In continuation of the Asian theme, fashion came to us not only for dishes made of wood, but also bamboo. Entire shops with products made from this material are opening: clothing, bed sheets, pillows and blankets, towels, interior items, and, of course, dishes. Bamboo grows very quickly - a few centimeters per hour, besides it easily decomposes in soil or water, therefore it is considered environmentally friendly and non-toxic, and most importantly, it does not upset the balance environment. Bamboo utensils - great option for a picnic, as it is very light, besides it does not break.

Advantages: environmentally friendly, has antibacterial, antimicrobial and hypoallergenic properties, does not change color during use, can be washed in a dishwasher. Affordable price.

Flaws: Do not heat in the microwave, do not soak - bamboo decomposes in water.

Plastic and paper tableware

Of course, it would never occur to anyone to set the table with plastic or paper dishes, except perhaps at a picnic. That is why such dishes are called disposable - after use, they should be thrown away. Plastic dishes are very popular precisely because of their practicality, but very harmful to the environment, because they practically do not decompose. By the way, for this reason, France passed a law on the abolition of the use of disposable plastic tableware since 2020. A good analogue of plastic is paper tableware: it is more environmentally friendly and is not inferior in quality. Nevertheless, the place of use of disposable tableware is exclusively in field conditions.

Advantages: ideal for when you can't wash the dishes.

Flaws: unecological, unaesthetic.

As you can see, the variety of materials from which tableware is made is very large, and each housewife makes a choice based on her needs and preferences. Wise housewives have two table sets available: for daily use and for special occasions. For every day, it is better to choose a more practical and a budget option, for example, high-quality faience, dishes made of wood or bamboo. Elegant porcelain is perfect for holidays or meeting guests.

On a note: it would be nice to have a couple of extra plates in reserve in case a plate from the service is accidentally broken. And remember: tableware must be comfortable, hygienic and have an aesthetic appearance, no matter what material it is made of.

Dinnerware

Dinnerware- household items intended for serving and eating. It is often believed that tableware is included in the kitchen, but this is not so, they have different purpose in the economy.

How to choose dinnerware

When purchasing tableware, first of all, you should pay attention to the material of manufacture. The tableware we use on a daily basis is usually made of ceramics and glass. Dishes of a higher rank are porcelain and faience. Porcelain ware is more durable and has a snow-white translucent shard, emits a clear long sound when lightly struck on the edge of the product. It is divided into categories:

  • Manufactory - hand-painted porcelain. Such dishes are expensive, the price of some sets is equal to the cost of an expensive car.
  • Decal - the dishes are decorated with decals. The relief pattern is applied by perforation or engraving.

High-quality porcelain dishes are never completely painted; there must be free space on it - the so-called "white body" of porcelain.

Faience tableware has a white porous shard. Faience is not translucent, makes a dull sound when lightly hit on the edge of the product. This is due to the low firing temperature. The durability of the glaze in faience dishes is lower compared to porcelain.

When purchasing tableware, you should also remember that it should be the same in color, shape, material and blend harmoniously with the place where you have dinner Zone. If the dishes are bought in addition to those that are already in stock, then it is advisable to choose a new one so that it fits the old one. This approach will help you when setting the table.

So, we have prepared food. Now we need to set the table for dinner.

What utensils do we need for dinner?

(Children name the dishes and put them on another table).

When all the items of tableware are on the table, the teacher says:

What is this dish for? (For lunch)

The utensils that are needed for dinner are called DINING ROOM.

The teacher offers to repeat in chorus and several children individually.

The lesson continues, the teacher draws the attention of the children to the dishes that remained on the table.

Guys, what do you think, what will this dish be useful for?

(Cup, saucer, sugar bowl, teapot)

To drink tea.

The utensils that we need when we drink tea are called TEA ROOM.

Children repeat the word in chorus.

Today we learned that dishes are different, because they are used in different ways. It can be kitchen, dining, tea.

Physical education minute "Washing the dishes"

We opened the water faucet

(make rotational movements with the hand 4 times, as if opening a tap)

And washed the dishes

(put right palm on the left and make circular movements on it, as if washing a plate)

Rubbed, rubbed, washed, washed

(the same movements, but with the left hand on the right)

Rubbed, rubbed, washed, washed

All around in water and soap.

(Spread arms to sides).

II part

Let's drink tea. But it's boring to drink tea from white cups.

The teacher shows the children paper cups.

And to make the cups beautiful, let's decorate them.

I have a brush (shows), with the help of it we will turn into masters. The teacher asks you to close your eyes.

We found ourselves in the workshop, and I suggest you go to the work tables.

(Watercolor paint, jars of water, brushes, coasters, rags are prepared on the tables).

The attendants hand out paints, brushes, rags. Children decorate the cups with different familiar elements. (circles, strokes, dots, sticks, rings, etc.)

Evaluation of works.

After painting, children clean up on their own workplace (wash brushes, cups)
