Things You'll Need:
- Dinner plate or bowl
- Ruler or tape measure
-
Step 1
Choose a point on the outside edge of your plate or bowl.
-
Step 2
Extend your ruler or tape measure across the face of the plate to the opposite edge, so your ruler is dividing the plate exactly in half.
-
Step 3
Read the measurement between the opposite edges. Include any border or lip on your dish, not just the usable surface. This is the diameter of your dish, which is always listed on labels and packaging for new dishware.
