Materials include porcelain, ceramic, stoneware, and plastic

When shopping for dinnerware, there are various materials to choose from, each with its own qualities, features, price points, and drawbacks. Here is a detailed guide focusing on four of these materials: porcelain, ceramic, stoneware, and plastic.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a type of ceramic made from refined clay fired at very high temperatures of approximately 1,200–1,450°C. This process results in an extremely hard, shiny, and often white and translucent material. The earliest forms of porcelain originated in China around 1600 BC, and this association popularised the term 'fine china' or 'bone china' when bone ash (made from animal bones) is added to the clay to create an even more durable material. Porcelain is the strongest and most durable ceramic dinnerware, and it is commonly used for formal dining occasions due to its elegant appearance. However, it can also be used daily to add a touch of elegance to any meal.

Ceramic

The word "ceramic" derives from the Greek and translates as "of pottery" or "for pottery". It refers to objects formed with clay and hardened by firing, such as pottery and earthenware. Clay is a natural material created by weathered rock, and it permanently hardens when baked at high temperatures, making it ideal for crafting tableware. Earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain are the three main types of ceramic.

Stoneware

Stoneware is a type of ceramic or pottery fired at relatively high temperatures, typically between 1,100–1,300°C. It is made from a particular type of clay and sometimes has vitreous (glass) material added to it for strength. This results in a more durable material than earthenware, with a denser and more stone-like quality. Stoneware is typically used for casual, everyday place settings and is known for its versatility and ease of maintenance. It is safe to use in the microwave, dishwasher, oven, and freezer, but it should not be exposed to sudden or extreme temperature changes.

Plastic

Plastic dinnerware, such as melamine, is an excellent option for those seeking unbreakable plates. It is lightweight, sturdy, and has a glossy finish. Plastic dinnerware is ideal for children and outdoor use as it is virtually indestructible. It is usually dishwasher-safe on the top rack but should not be heated in the microwave or oven. When choosing plastic dinnerware, look for BPA-free options to ensure the safety of your food.

Microwave and dishwasher-safe options exist
