Your Dinnerware Questions Answered
What is the best dinnerware for everyday use?
Porcelain, for most households. It resists chipping, scratching, and staining better than earthenware, and Tramontina porcelain adds a translucent glaze that helps prevent chips while staying dishwasher and microwave safe.
How many pieces are in a dinnerware set?
Dinnerware sets are usually sized by place setting, with four- and eight-place settings the most common. Tramontina sets run from 12 piece plate sets like Enseada, Rustic, and Sissi to the 20 piece Ingrid dinner set, which adds tea cups and saucers. Glassware, flatware, and serveware live in our full tableware collection.
Is porcelain dinnerware dishwasher safe?
Every piece here is. The glaze on Tramontina porcelain dinnerware helps prevent chipping and makes plates and bowls easy to clean, so a nightly dishwasher cycle is no problem.
Is porcelain dinnerware microwave safe?
Reheating is one of porcelain's strengths, since it distributes heat evenly, and the Tramontina pieces are made for microwave use. Skip metallic-rim pieces in the microwave and avoid heating empty dishes. For anything that needs to bake, reach for our bakeware made for the oven.
What’s the difference between porcelain and stoneware dinnerware?
Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures than stoneware, which makes it harder, denser, and more chip-resistant. Porcelain is also typically thinner, lighter, and brighter white, while stoneware leans rustic and textured. Both have their place, depending on the look you want at the table.
How do you keep dinnerware from chipping?
Stack plates with felt or paper liners between them, store bowls separately rather than nested tightly, and keep stacks a reasonable height. The glaze on Tramontina porcelain helps prevent chips to begin with.
Can I mix and match Tramontina dinnerware patterns?
Absolutely. Plain pieces like the Paola bowls pair easily with decorated lines like Carmen or Dulce, and a matching set of flatware ties the whole table together.
What size dinner plate should I buy?
Standard dinner plates are 10 to 11 inches across, which fits most modern meals and standard cabinet space. Charger plates and oversized dinner plates run 12 to 13 inches and are typically used for entertaining rather than weeknight dinners.
