Homemade Platter

If you’re going to a party and bringing along an elaborate dish, you’ll need a platter to be able to transport and present it. If you don’t have a large enough platter, you may have a difficult time getting the food to its destination safely. If you’re in a pinch, you could simply construct your own makeshift platter out of aluminum foil.

Simply get a piece of cardboard and wrap the whole piece in aluminum foil. It’s really that easy. If you’re making something fresh out of the oven, the foil will even help to keep the food warm, as the foil holds the heat a little better than a simple plate. If you don’t like how it looks with the metal exposed, you could also cover your homemade platter with a towel to improve the presentation.
