An 18-piece green dinnerware set gives you six dinner plates, six dessert or breakfast plates and six deep plates in one purchase. That sounds straightforward, but product pages do not always make it immediately clear exactly what you will receive. If you focus only on the colour or an attractive photo, you could end up with a set that is not suitable for the microwave, is difficult to fit in the dishwasher or does not fully meet your everyday needs.
Pay particular attention to these three pitfalls:
Stoneware dinnerware, usually referred to as stoneware, often has a slightly heavier feel and a robust, handcrafted look. This works well on a modern dining table with natural tones. However, the weight can be noticeable: according to the product information, the Secret de Gourmet Colorama set weighs 9.65 kg, excluding packaging.
Porcelain generally looks smoother and feels lighter. According to the product description, Secret de Gourmet’s Green Harmony set is made from porcelain. The product information lists a green design with a 26.5 cm flat plate, a 19 cm deep plate and a 20 cm dessert plate.
Neither material is automatically suitable for every application. Look for explicit symbols and product details covering the dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer.
For dinnerware for 6 people, the most practical combination is:
Also check the diameter. A dinner plate measuring around 26 to 28 cm provides enough space for a standard main meal, but takes up more room in a kitchen cupboard and dishwasher. A deep plate is useful for soup, pasta or rice dishes. According to the specifications, the Colorama set includes a 27.5 cm dinner plate, a 19.5 cm dessert plate and a deep plate measuring 20.5 cm in diameter, with a height of 5.5 cm.
For everyday use, dishwasher-safe dinnerware and microwave-safe dinnerware are practical features. According to the product details, the Colorama set is suitable for both appliances. The same information states that the set is not suitable for use in the oven or freezer. This distinction is important: microwave-safe does not automatically mean oven-safe.
Always check that the manufacturer explicitly lists these features for other sets. If a feature is not mentioned in the product information, do not automatically assume that the product is suitable for that purpose. If in doubt, follow the instructions on the packaging or on the underside of the dinnerware.
The following choices are based on verifiable details such as material, contents, dimensions and stated care features. Colour and style preferences remain a personal choice.

The product information lists the material, colour, contents and limitations. According to these details, the set is not suitable for use in the oven or freezer, so you do not have to guess whether it can be used for these purposes.

Check these points before completing your purchase:
Yes, provided the set consists of six flat plates, six deep plates and six dessert or breakfast plates. Always check the exact contents. The Colorama and Green Harmony sets are described in the product information as 18-piece sets for six people.
This varies from product to product. According to the stated specifications, the Colorama set is suitable for both the dishwasher and microwave. For other sets, check the product page or packaging. Do not use dinnerware in the microwave unless it is explicitly stated to be microwave-safe.
Its lifespan depends on how it is used, the glaze, temperature changes and how you stack and wash it. Stoneware is suitable for everyday use when the manufacturer states this, but it remains breakable. Avoid hard knocks, sudden changes in temperature and using damaged plates.
