What type of container are sauces served in at the tables?

Sauces are typically served in ramekins at the tables because they are designed to hold small portions of condiments and sauces, making it easy for guests to access and use them without the risk of spills. Ramekins are usually small, durable, and easy to handle, which is ideal for a dining setting where sauces like salad dressings, dipping sauces, or spreads are used. Their size allows for individual serving, ensuring that diners can enjoy the sauces while minimizing waste. Other containers, such as bowls or plates, may not provide the same level of convenience or portion control, and glass jars could pose an issue with handling and pouring for guests.
