When we do use plates, it just depends on what food is going on it--if it'll fit on a small plate, I would rather use that because it takes up less space in the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355596 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:55:31 +0000 wahine08 355596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are giant.. we have fiesta ware style plates and they're heavy and big. They were DH's before we moved in together but they're in such good shape, we still use them! Not good for portion control! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355593 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:54:12 +0000 Meridian 355593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually use 10" dinner plates.

When we sit at the table, we'll sometimes use plates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355553 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:33:24 +0000 MediaNaranja 355553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to use bowls more often than places. Most of the things we eat are soupy/saucy, so I like have it contained in a bowl. Plus, it helps me portion control better. DH always uses a dinner plate, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355538 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:28:27 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 355538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we usually use the medium plates, or often bowls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355507 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:13:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 355507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use dinner plates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355504 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:10:34 +0000 Alivoo01 355504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the large plates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355373 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 08:10:34 +0000 pastemoo 355373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>medium ones... more because the big ones are in an awkward place for me to reach </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355371 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 08:10:05 +0000 autumnlove 355371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use our large plates! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-are-the-plates-that-you-eat-off-of#post-355355 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 07:48:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 355355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have large dinner plates and I wish we had some medium shape ones!
