How to say "platter" in Japanese

• 皿さらJLPT N3approx.Common
  nounCovers the tableware sense of 'platter': a large plate or dish for serving food. It is the common word for plates and dishes, and the one you want when 'platter' refers to tableware.
  あなたが皿さらを洗あらっている間あいだに、私は床ゆかを掃除そうじします。↗

  I'll sweep the floor while you wash the dishes.
• 円盤えんばんCommon
  no-adjectiveDenotes a flat, circular object; its main senses are 'disk' and 'discus'. Its 'platter' gloss fits that disc-like sense, not tableware: for a large serving dish, 皿 is the word.

Use 皿 for the tableware sense of 'platter' — a large dish for serving food — and 円盤 when 'platter' refers to a flat, circular disc rather than a dish, since 円盤 denotes a disk or discus.
