A sizzling platter serves food the way a restaurant does: heated, arriving at the table still cooking, with the sound and smell that makes everyone look up. This one is black stoneware at 25 x 15cm and 620g — a substantial individual serving size for a steak, grilled meat, fish, prawns or a hot starter. Stoneware's advantage is heat retention: it holds temperature far longer than a plate, so the last mouthful is as hot as the first, which is the single most common failing of home-served grilled food. It suits home cooking, restaurants, hotels and hospitality venues where presentation is part of the dish.

Buying guide
Heat the platter gradually rather than shocking it — stoneware handles high heat but dislikes sudden temperature change, so never put a hot platter onto a cold wet surface or under cold water. Always serve it on a wooden underplate or a trivet, and warn guests that it is hot; a sizzling platter reaches temperatures that will burn on contact. Let it cool completely before washing. Season food on the platter rather than adding cold sauce to a very hot surface, which spits. Store it flat rather than stacked under heavy items, since stoneware chips at the edges.
How it compares
Against a plate, stoneware holds heat so food stays hot to the last bite. Against a cast iron platter, stoneware is lighter and does not need seasoning, though cast iron takes higher heat. For serving cold dishes, any platter will do — this is specifically for hot food.
