"Day of the buffet": We celebrate this with lots of crockery
2.1.2024
Translation: machine translated
Food lovers have something to celebrate today: 2 January was designated "Buffet Day" in 2011. I'll show you what crockery the shop has in store for your next party here.
There is a day of remembrance for every occasion - at least if you browse the calendar of curious public holidays. People who like to eat have also been commemorated. US food blogger John-Bryan Hopkins made sure of this and created National Buffet Day 13 years ago (in the USA)
Of course, buffets are not only available in the USA and they don't just have to take place in all-you-can-eat restaurants and hotels. Organising one at home is also fun. Especially if you have a knack for plating: As we all know, the eye eats too. If you urgently need to stock up your crockery cupboard for the next party, it's worth taking a look at our shop.
Serving platters
A plain white porcelain serving platter can look just as pretty as a slate platter. Or you can combine the two to create a colour contrast. If you prefer a more rustic look instead, Bloomingville is a good choice. Their "Taki serving tray" is made of mango wood and adds a touch of country house style to the table. Thanks to the slight inward curve and the handle, the tray should be easy to carry or pass around the table.
Bowls
The all-rounder of every buffet: the bowl. It's the place to be for salads, bread or desserts. If you like asymmetry, you might like the oval bowls from APS. The stoneware bowl from Bitz, on the other hand, has a slightly larger capacity. It has a diameter of 30 centimetres. In addition to black/bronze, it is also available in other colour combinations.
Etagere
The good old etagere is a real stacking artist. They often form the centrepiece of the table. The model from Gusta could be a new eye-catcher on your buffet. It offers space for snacks and finger food on four round raised levels. Its wooden shelves are made of bamboo and each have a diameter of 16 centimetres. The leather loop at the top is very useful for carrying the tower. The two-tiered etagere from APS is a bread basket and serving platter in one. Particularly practical: this piece consists of five parts that you can insert into the two tiers as you wish. So you can decide for yourself how many plates or baskets it consists of. If you like vintage, take a look at the classic trivet from Loberon. The "Olathe" etagere is made of fir wood and is 65 centimetres high.
Cutlery
Of course, all bowls and serving platters cannot do without the matching cutlery. For example, the fork from the Swiss brand Victorinox could help. The stainless steel blade is 15 centimetres long. It is dishwasher safe. You can also find a wide range of other utensils such as gripping tongs and salad servers in the shop.
Nice to have
These products are not necessarily part of the standard buffet equipment, but can be an enrichment. For example, the napkin holder from Sagaform, which is made from natural materials. An oak ball prevents the napkins from slipping. The transparent drinks dispenser from Navaris holds 5 litres and is easy to fill thanks to its large opening. Thanks to its high wooden feet, you don't have to place it directly on the edge of the table to place a glass under the tap. And the tapas set from Micasa has space for small items.
