Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Pho House, a popular Vietnamese street food kitchen in Liverpool, was struggling with the high cost and  hassle of replacing their ceramic spoons, which were constantly getting chipped during busy lunch rushes.

"We were throwing away a handful of chipped spoons every week. It felt incredibly wasteful and  unprofessional. We needed something that looked good but could withstand the pace. These melamine spoons from EasyEquipment were the perfect fix."

Liam O'Connell – Head Chef

After switching to the APS GF067 soup spoon, The Pho House completely eliminated breakages, leading to an estimated 75% reduction in their annual crockery replacement budget and  a smoother, more efficient service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, give the spoons a quick check to ensure they're all present and  correct.
  • Always run them through a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use.
  • That's it! They're ready to be added to your cutlery stations or table settings.

Keeping It Going

  • These spoons are fully commercial dishwasher safe for quick and  easy cleaning.
  • To avoid any potential surface dulling over time, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh steel wool.
  • Stack them neatly in cutlery trays or drawers to maximise your storage space.
  • Crucial tip: Melamine is not suitable for microwave use, as it can damage the spoon and  the appliance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure what's best for your busy service? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose wisely.

Durability vs. Aesthetics

Consider the environment. For high-turnover areas, durable melamine is a smart choice to minimise replacement costs. For fine dining, porcelain might be preferred.

Match the Menu

Ensure your crockery suits your food. This Asian soup spoon melamine design is perfect for broths and  noodle dishes, enhancing the dining experience.

Check for Stackability

Space is always at a premium in commercial kitchens. Choosing items that stack securely, like this spoon, is a simple but effective space-saving trick.

Think Long-Term Value

A slightly higher upfront cost for a robust product often means a much lower total cost over time, thanks to fewer breakages and  re-orders.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

Always opt for items that are commercial dishwasher safe. It streamlines your clean-up process and  ensures top-notch hygiene with minimal effort.

Why is Melamine a Commercial Kitchen Staple?

Ever wondered what makes a white melamine soup spoon so tough? It's all down to the magic of being a 'thermosetting plastic'. Think of it like baking a cake: once you've mixed the ingredients and  baked it, it sets permanently into its final, solid form. You can't melt it back down into batter. Melamine works the same way. During manufacturing, it's moulded under intense heat and  pressure, which creates incredibly strong chemical bonds. This means, unlike a standard plastic container that might warp in a hot commercial dishwasher, melamine holds its shape, strength, and  integrity. This process is what gives it that ceramic-like hardness and  makes it so resistant to chips, shocks, and  scratches in the real world.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pan-Asian Restaurants: An essential for authentically serving up ramen, pho, laksa, and  wonton soup to diners.
  • Workplace & School Canteens: A budget-friendly and  virtually unbreakable choice for high-traffic, self-service soup stations.
  • Hotel Buffets: Offers a safe, durable, and  professional-looking option for guests at the breakfast or lunch buffet.
  • Event Caterers: Lightweight and  stackable, these are perfect for transporting and  serving at functions without breakages.
