Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling gastropub in York, needed to upgrade their tableware. Their existing plates were chipping easily and showing cutlery marks, which detracted from the high-quality, locally-sourced food they served. They chose the Steelite Craft plates for their renowned durability and aesthetic appeal.
"We were haemorrhaging money on replacing chipped plates. Since switching to the Steelite Craft V576, our crockery has stood up to everything we've thrown at it. The plates still look brand new months later, and our food has never looked better."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
After six months, The Copper Kettle reported a 40% reduction in crockery replacement costs and a noticeable increase in positive customer comments on food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully inspect each plate for any transit damage before washing.
- Give all plates a full cycle in the dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and packing.
- Ensure your storage shelves are clean, dry, and strong enough to handle the weight of stacked ceramic plates.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent scratching, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift them when stacking or unstacking.
- When loading into a dishwasher, ensure plates aren't knocking against each other to minimise the risk of impact damage.
- Although tough, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh metal utensils which can damage the glaze over time.
- Stack plates of the same size and shape together for stability and to prevent unnecessary pressure on the rims.

The Steelite Advantage: An Investment in Consistency
Choosing Steelite isn't just about buying a plate; it's about investing in your brand's reputation for quality. With a legacy forged in the heart of the potteries in Stoke-on-Trent, Steelite has become a global benchmark for professional tableware, trusted by chefs who can't afford inconsistency. The Steelite Performance collection, including this V576 coupe plate, is the embodiment of that trust.

Explore more from SteeliteWhat Makes 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic' So Resilient?
Ever wondered what puts the 'performance' in Steelite Performance tableware? A big part of the answer is 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic'. Let's break that down. 'Vitrified' means the ceramic has been fired at an extremely high temperature, turning it into a glass-like substance. This makes it non-porous, so it won’t absorb water, grease, or odours, and it’s naturally stain-resistant.
The secret weapon, though, is 'Alumina'. This is simply aluminium oxide, a super-hard material, which is added to the clay mixture. Think of it like adding steel rebar to concrete. It dramatically increases the structural strength of the plate, making it far more resistant to chipping from knocks and bumps. So when you see this feature, you know you're getting a plate that’s scientifically engineered for the tough life of a professional kitchen.
