You've spent hours cooking up a nice little dish for your guests. Everything is ready to delight them.
But then, once your plates are nicely laid out in the kitchen, how do you serve them one by one, still hot, to the dining room table?
Follow me in the kitchen, I'll explain everything to perfect your "plate service" thanks to 3 very practical tips!
All you have to do is preheat your oven to 60° then place your plates in it for 10 to 15 minutes.
It is a simple and effective solution for heating plates. And don't worry, you can totally put plates in the oven.
But be careful, do not exceed this temperature of the traditional oven, because beyond that, you not only risk burning your fingers when taking out your plates, but you could also weaken them.
Slide your plates into your microwave and heat on maximum power for 2 min.
Be careful, don't forget to put a bowl or a cup of water on top of your stack of plates, otherwise you risk damaging your microwave.
Put your plates in your sink and run the hottest water possible. Let them soak for 5 min.
The only downside to this method? You will then have to wipe them one by one before filling them!
There you go, you are now ready to serve hot plates to your guests :-)
You now know how to properly heat the plates to serve a meal worthy of the great chefs!
And if you lack recipe ideas for entertaining, I advise you to cook this succulent beef bourguignon or this sautéed pork with caramel.
