Oval Plate | Chef's Serving Plate | 347mm | Churchill DY127

Q: What does 'super vitrified' mean?

A: It's a high-temperature firing process that makes the ceramic non-porous, exceptionally strong, and  resistant to chipping, stains, and  odours. It's ideal for heavy-duty commercial use.

Q: Are these plates genuinely safe for a commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, they are specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures and  potent detergents used in commercial dishwashers.

Q: What is the benefit of a glazed foot?

A: The smooth, glazed base prevents the rough, unglazed foot of one plate from scratching the decorated surface of the plate beneath it when stacked.

Q: Can I use these plates in a microwave or oven?

A: They are microwave safe for reheating. They can also be used in an oven for warming, but as with any ceramic, avoid extreme temperature changes (like freezer to hot oven) to prevent thermal shock.

Q: How resistant are they to cutlery scratches?

A: The superior glaze finish is engineered to be highly resistant to marking and  scratching from everyday cutlery use.

Q: Is the colour consistent between batches?

A: Churchill is renowned for its manufacturing consistency, so if you need to order more plates in the future, you can expect a very close match in colour and  size.

Q: Is this 347mm Churchill serving platter 347mm suitable for main courses?

A: Absolutely. At nearly 14 inches long, its size is generous enough for most main courses, especially long cuts of meat or whole fish, as well as sharing platters.

Q: Are the plates heavy?

A: Each plate weighs 0.78kg. This gives it a solid, quality feel without being overly heavy for service staff to carry.
