I wouldn't use it for a plate: 1)They aren't that big-unless you eat small portions & 2)The interlocking edges are sharp & you might cut/scratch yourself trying to hold/use it as a plate. It would be cheaper & better to get 3 plates from a dollar store!

I don't think so. The sides are about 2" high, and they would be kind of small. I would think for the price you could get some real plates that would work better.

As stated in the description, it's 2 inches deep, and 6 inches wide and 9 inches long. So, I think it's a bit deep for a plate, and rather rectangular, but if those dimensions seem to fit your needs, then go for it!

I used it as more of a fill in for when I had no access to 'real food' it's a bit thin to be a meal replacement as it's not as thick as a shake. It may fill you up depending on the situation but I have to say I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose. It's more to give you the nutrients you may be missing from not eating properly all the time.I hope this helps.

yeah...I'd be a little hesitant to put drinks on it since it doesn't have an edge, but it would work fine for food. I've used mine for that in the past!

We use them as our everyday dinner plates. They will work for individual dinner steaks with 2 sides. We absolutely LOVE these plates. They make our meals look so pretty.

No, it's not really big enough to hold dinner plates for serving. I agree with others - a couple of dessert plates. It's better for putting small food items on for people to take from.

The Mini is a small size. And no, a dinner plate would not fit. I had to buy 6 inch pyrex dishes so I could use the Mini for some recipes. However, since I am cooking just for one person, this is okay for me. I like the Mini but it probably is not suitable for a family. Keep in mind that if any plate (or other dish) is not "oven safe" I believe it should not be used.

Yes! That's what I'm using it for, with matching hammered silver servers. It's very elegant and stylish as a salad bowl. My guests were impressed! I also got the smaller matching bowls, which are a little small for personal salad bowls, but wonderful for dessert (like ice cream, etc), or for nuts or other small appetizers, etc. I'm very happy with the whole set.

I use this for our breakfast area for dining purposes only and would not recommend putting any heavy objects other than dinner ware on it. It is pretty sturdy and stable for dining use. But if you want to re purpose it for any other use you might want to check with the manufacturer.

I guess that really depends on how hungry you are. It works great for pot pie for my wife I to share with a small side salad etc. Would be great after shoveling snow all morning.

I think it would be OK. I have a stack of large corelle dinner plates, small dessert plates, and two stacks of small dessert bowls and it has held up for years. I was nervous about this much weight as the legs didn't seem perfectly level but there has been no moving or shifting - I think the weight helps it not move much though. Hope that helps. Enjoy the holiday season!

I believe it would work well as a Cookbook stand, as it is very sturdy. I have a Gold plated Decorative plate from Greece that is very heavy, so I needed a good sturdy stand for it, and it works very well.

I wouldn't use it for that purpose. I would be more inclined to buy Avery small crockpot for that purpose. This griddle is just for cooking.

I wouldn't buy this specifically for that purpose. i suppose you could make Potatoes au Gratin in this, but I would suggest a baking dish, such as a pyrex or a ceramic baking dish.

I bought the table because I needed a table for my hobbies. Although I wouldn't suggest using it for a dining table, I suppose it would work great as a buffet table. I am quite happy with this table as it is perfect for what I need it to do.

It is a pie plate, just like pyrex or aluminum. It is attractive enough to use for a serving dish, and I suppose it might be nice for individual pasta. It would not be practical for cereal because it it too wide and not deep enough. There are better deals on cereal dish sets. Corelle Livingware Corelle Fun Packs, 5 Pieces, Winter Frost White

It can be every time my wife and I use it for anything it just ends up. Being our meal. But if you portion yes and we have used it for guests eating with us to so I would say yes.

I apologize....I was just now able to get this item out of my closet to check. It definitely would not hold regular dinner plates. The plates that come with the set are approximately 8 inches and what you don't see is that they have depth to them (almost like a bowl). This allows them to sit securely on the metal stand. A regular plate (big or small) would likely slide off. I hope this information helps. Again, I'm sorry for the delay in responding. Good Luck!
