Which is better for a family dinner?

The dinner plate for eating, the platter for serving. Most households want both: plates for each person and one platter for the main dish.

Is the platter worth the extra $3.51?

Only if you need a serving piece. At $10.50 versus $6.99, the platter buys size, not better material. Both are the same Vitrelle glass.

Do they chip or break easily?

Corelle's Vitrelle glass is tempered and laminated in three layers, and the brand markets it as break and chip resistant. It is still glass and can break if dropped on a hard floor.

Can both go in the oven and microwave?

Yes. Both are microwave safe and safe in a preheated oven, and both are dishwasher safe. Follow Corelle's use and care instructions for temperature limits.

Will the floral pattern fade in the dishwasher?

No. Corelle states the pattern is fired on and won't wash or scrape off, so normal dishwasher use is fine.

Can I use the dinner plate as a salad plate?

Yes. At 10.25 inches it works as a lunch or salad plate, and the platter can serve salad for the table.
