An 18-piece mint green dinnerware set can instantly give your dining table a modern look. However, an attractive product photo does not tell you everything. Pay particular attention to the set’s contents, dimensions and usage limitations. This will help you avoid buying dinnerware that looks great but does not fit your dishwasher, microwave or everyday cooking routine.
With an 18-piece dinnerware set, you would usually expect three items per person:
Always check this in the product information. A set containing cups, bowls or cutlery will have a different arrangement. For everyday use, it is also worth checking whether individual items can be purchased separately at a later date.
Mint green dinnerware with a glazed finish can add colour and shine to your table. However, the finish may vary slightly between production batches. Therefore, check the returns policy and, once your order arrives, make sure that all the items are the same shade.
Pay attention to the material too. Stoneware dinnerware is generally heavier than porcelain or fine earthenware. This gives it a solid feel, but it takes up more space in the kitchen cupboard and may be heavier to load into the dishwasher.
Microwave-safe dinnerware and oven-safe dinnerware are two different properties. According to the product information, a plate may be suitable for use in the microwave but not in the oven or freezer. Do not put it in a hot oven unless this is expressly stated on the packaging or product page.
The Secret de Gourmet Colorama set is made from stoneware and has a glossy mint green finish. It is a good choice if you are looking for a colourful alternative to white dinnerware. However, stoneware has a higher product weight: this set weighs approximately 9,65 kg, excluding packaging.
Do not use damaged items for food. Small cracks or chips may become larger with continued use. Check new plates for damage in transit as soon as they arrive.
The set is designed as dinnerware for 6 people and contains 18 pieces. The stated dimensions are:
A deep plate of this height is practical for soup, pasta, curry or dishes with sauce. However, check beforehand that the plates fit in your kitchen cupboard and dishwasher. The rim and overall height may affect the available space in a dishwasher rack.
According to the product description, this Colorama dinnerware set is:
Preferably, do not heat a plate intensely straight after taking it from a cold environment. Although the product information states that it can be used in the microwave, it is still sensible to follow the instructions on the packaging and not use damaged items.
