Pendahuluan
Plating adalah teknik penyajian makanan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan nilai estetika dan daya tarik hidangan. Teknik ini tidak hanya mempengaruhi penampilan tetapi juga memberikan pengalaman sensorik yang lebih baik bagi konsumen. Plating yang baik mampu membangun kesan pertama yang positif sebelum makanan disantap.
Elemen Penting dalam Plating
Untuk menciptakan plating yang menarik, beberapa elemen utama yang perlu diperhatikan meliputi:
Komposisi dan Tata Letak
Menentukan pusat perhatian hidangan.
Menyeimbangkan warna, tekstur, dan bentuk bahan makanan.
Menggunakan aturan sepertiga atau titik fokus untuk menciptakan keseimbangan visual.
Konsep dan Tema
Menyesuaikan plating dengan tema restoran atau konsep hidangan.
Misalnya, plating minimalis untuk makanan modern atau plating rustic untuk makanan tradisional.
Tekstur dan Warna
Menggabungkan berbagai tekstur untuk memberikan kontras menarik.
Warna-warna yang cerah dapat meningkatkan daya tarik visual.
Penggunaan Peralatan yang Tepat
Pemilihan piring dengan bentuk dan warna yang sesuai.
Penggunaan alat seperti pinset, ring mold, dan kuas untuk detail tambahan.
Teknik Plating yang Populer
Berikut adalah beberapa teknik plating yang umum digunakan dalam dunia kuliner:
Classic Plating
Menggunakan metode dasar dengan komponen utama di tengah piring, dikelilingi oleh garnish dan saus.
Minimalist Plating
Menampilkan hidangan dengan komponen sederhana dan elemen yang tidak berlebihan.

Tips dan Trik dalam Plating
Gunakan Negative Space
Jangan memenuhi seluruh piring, biarkan sedikit ruang kosong agar hidangan lebih menonjol.
Gunakan Garnish dengan Bijak
Pilih garnish yang memiliki fungsi, bukan hanya sebagai hiasan.
Hindari Overcrowding
Jangan menumpuk terlalu banyak elemen dalam satu piring, karena bisa membuat tampilan berantakan.
Perhatikan Proporsi
Pastikan setiap elemen makanan memiliki ukuran yang seimbang agar tidak mendominasi hidangan lainnya.

Food plating Tips
Elevation
Try to make high
www.facebook.com/delhindra
Contrasting Colors
Use contrasting colors.
Food will look more attractive if added with a little color contrast from
the dominant color
www.facebook.com/delhindra
Similar Colors
Combine similar color plus a little extra color so as not to be boring
www.facebook.com/delhindra
Plate Shape
Try with various forms of plates, using the round plate the results are
very good so we try on the Square plate the results might be more
perfect
www.facebook.com/delhindra
Plate Size
Consider 2 times which one is better for our food, served with large or
smaller plate
www.facebook.com/delhindra
Plate Color
In general, white plates are the best while black plates with brightly
colored foods look awesome.
For patterned plates or many colors it is very difficult to make food plating
because the plate itself is a presentation too.
www.facebook.com/delhindra
Take a Photo
www.facebook.com/delhindra
Take a picture to evaluate the results of our food plating so that in the
future it can be improved
Such as the color, food height, shape, size and color of the dishes are
not good enough, maybe the food portions are not balanced, etc.
