Square Plates | Plain White Dinner Plates | 293mm X Squared | Churchill W911

Q: Are these plates sold individually?

A: These Churchill W911 square dinner plates are supplied in a box of 12, which is ideal for professional kitting out and  ensuring consistency.

Q: What does 'fully glazed foot' mean?

A: It means the bottom ring of the plate is sealed with glaze, just like the top surface. This makes it smooth and  prevents it from scratching other plates when stacked.

Q: Can I use these plates in a salamander grill?

A: While they are heat resistant and  microwave safe, subjecting them to intense, direct overhead heat like a salamander is not recommended as it can cause thermal shock and  lead to cracking.

Q: How heavy are these plates?

A: As professional-grade porcelain, they have a reassuring weight that signals quality to the diner, but they are ergonomically balanced for comfortable handling by serving staff.

Q: Will the square shape chip more easily than a round plate?

A: Not at all. Churchill designs these plates with reinforced, rolled edges that are specifically engineered to be highly chip-resistant, regardless of the shape.

Q: Is the white colour a bright, pure white?

A: Yes, it's a classic, brilliant white that provides a high-contrast background, making the colours of your food ingredients appear more vibrant and  appealing.

Q: Can acidic foods like tomato or lemon stain the surface?

A: No, the super vitrified porcelain creates a non-porous surface, meaning it's highly resistant to staining from acidic or strongly coloured foods.

Q: Are the dimensions exact?

A: The stated size is 293mm (11.5 inches), which is the standard manufacturing dimension. As with all ceramics, there can be a very minor variance, but they are made to strict tolerances.
