I'm new & needing to add a SA larger serving piece for various recipes. Which would you recommend? I'm torn between the Lg Square, Lg Round or Lg Rectangle? I love the dots, but not sure how long they'll be around. TIA.
 
I have all that you mention. I use the #2034 Large Round Platter the most often for myself and for Shows. It's easy to take places, is a beautiful plate for our 12" Skillet Cake, and easy to store. I used the Large Rectangular platter about three times in the year I have had it, and the Large Bowl only a few times. When I bought them I just thought I had to have them but they are heavy to take to Parties and with just the two of us, we don't need them that often.

Last night I packed it snuggly next to my Collapsible bowl in my crate. Lots easier than the large bowl would have been. I agree with you on the dots. It is difficult to guess what will be among the new products. I have the Large Dots bowl too, and have only used it at two parties, and not once at home.
 
I agree with the large round platter and the tray. It goes with alot of recipes and can be used even as a serving tray. This has made a home in my backseat since I've been taking it to all of my shows.
 
I love all of them, but am partial to squares. I think they just look classy! :) And polka dots are always in style...at least they'd better be, I love them!
 
I hope the Dots stay around for a while!

I use the Large Round Dots Bowl at almost every show! When I do the 30 minute chicken, I transfer the chicken to it, and carve & serve it from there - and I use it for all of my salads.

Thanks for all of your great advice. Is the Round Platter OK for say, the Cheeseburger Salad?
 
You just have to make sure you "pile" it on nicely so it doesn't start falling down the edges. I got the dots large round bowl off the supply order for the Cheeseburger Salad and One Pot Creamy Pasta.
 
I like the big white rectangular one, but am partial to the dots also.
I love my appetizer caddy set and plates, always get compliments on those.

Kacey, any particular reason you are partial to squares?? :-)

Yeah, because I'm a round peg trying to fit into a square hole! :) LOL

If I were going to use a platter for the salad, I would use the rectangle platter w/ handles or the cranberry rimmed oval platter.
