serving platter
Large flat plate
A serving platter is a large, flat dish used to present and serve food, typically at meals with multiple diners.
Platters are usually oval or rectangular, sized to hold substantial quantities—a roast, sliced meat, or arranged appetizers: She carried the turkey to the table on a silver serving platter.
The term emphasizes the dish's function in communal dining rather than individual portions.
