That "boring whiteware"....

house_cat · ‎03-09-2010

Whenever they sell bakeware at QVC, they boast about its reasonable price compared to the "boring whiteware" sold at retail. Well, today, during a food presentation, David addressed the many questions they were getting from FB commenters, wanting to know where to get the boring whiteware. I enjoy the few pieces of Temptations that I have, but I really ❤️ my boring whiteware.

I like " boring " white dishes too. I add color withtable linens and other accessories. Temptations are just too busy for me and kind of limit the decorating possibilities.

I love dishes and own a few sets, plus I collect platters when I travel out of the country. I love using them and they remind me of my vacation.

In addition, I collect white serving pieces. I have a collection of solid white bowls in many different sizes. The only thing that matches is the color. Some are ornate, some are plain, but they look great when I use them together.

i can use them on a buffet or on my dining room table with any of my pattern place settings.

I have one set of temptations. They are from many years ago. They are solid colbalt blue and have rattan baskets to nest them in. I rarely use them unless I am attending a potluck. They are thick and super heavy, so different than today's offerings.

I am not interested in temptations because they have a pattern. The pattern would limit my use of them. They are pretty, but I don't buy baking dishes for decorations....they would match none of my place settings and they are expensive for what they are.

i love my boring white pieces. My not so boring food looks great in/on them too.

I'll take boring whiteware over Temptations or The Pioneer Woman's patterns any day of the week.

Whitewear is classic and is easy to create lovely table decor. Salespeople use what they can to see their items. Whitewear not boring at all.

I have collected Apilco when on sale for many many years! It gets used every day, still looks great and is so sturdy. Their baking pieces are the best!

I love white dishes! I have Nantucket basket (picked some up every time I was at an outlet store) too for a little nicer look but still casual.

Boring? Not with food on it!

“Boring White wear” lets the food and it’s colors, textures, etc. take center stage.

DS is an Executive Chef, he turned us on to "boring white" Best for "plating" displaying the food.

I love my white. I have all kinds. I don't want a mixture of patterns on my table either!

Just curious...what did David say when he addressed their questions? I missed that.

I prefer whiteware over a pattern.
