  • Pros: The unique pattern on each plate delivers a genuine 'wow' factor.
  • Cons: The weight is substantial, which speaks to quality but may be heavy for some staff.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle in Cardiff wanted to refresh their tableware to match a newly refurbished, contemporary interior. They needed plates that were stylish enough for evening service but tough enough for their bustling lunch trade.

"We chose the Steelite Nomad Blue Ink plates because they just stand out. Our food photography for social media has never looked better, and  customers constantly comment on how lovely they are. The best part? We haven't had a single chip or break since we got them three months ago."

David Chen – Head Chef

Since introducing the new plates, The Copper Kettle has noted a significant drop in replacement costs and  a marked increase in customer-generated social media content featuring their dishes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each plate for any transit damage.
  • Give the plates a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue.
  • Brief your team on the new crockery, highlighting their quality to encourage careful handling from day one.

Keeping It Going

  • Load into the dishwasher carefully, ensuring plates do not knock against each other.
  • Although highly durable, avoid using abrasive metal scourers which could harm the glazed finish over time.
  • Stack carefully in storage. For best results and  to protect the glaze, consider using plate separators for long-term stacking.
  • The porcelain is non-porous, so it won't absorb flavours or odours, keeping them fresh for every service.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure what fits your establishment best? Here are a few things to consider when choosing professional crockery.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a fantastic all-rounder, offering a premium look with excellent durability and  heat retention. It's a smart investment for any busy venue.

Durability is Key

Look for features like 'fully vitrified', 'rolled edges', and  'glaze damage resistance'. These aren't just buzzwords; they mean fewer chips and  a longer lifespan for your plates.

Aesthetic and  Atmosphere

Your tableware is part of your brand. Choose a style that complements your decor and  food presentation. A unique design like this Nomad Blue Ink can become a signature part of your look.

Stackability and  Storage

In a professional kitchen, space is gold. Always check if plates are designed to be stacked. It's a simple feature that makes a huge difference to daily operations.

Size and  Versatility

A 255mm (10") coupe plate is incredibly versatile, perfect for main courses, generous starters, or sharing dishes. Consider how one plate can serve multiple purposes on your menu.

From Chiller to Plate Warmer: Unpacking Thermal Shock Resistance

Ever worried about a plate cracking when it goes from a cold prep surface to a hot salamander or plate warmer? That's where thermal shock resistance comes in. It's a technical term for a very simple, but crucial, benefit: the plate's ability to withstand rapid and  extreme changes in temperature without cracking or breaking.

Steelite fires its porcelain at high temperatures, making the material incredibly dense and  stable. This means you can confidently take a plate from the fridge, plate up a chilled dessert, and  know it won't be fazed by a hot environment or a blast in the microwave. It’s peace of mind built into every single plate, protecting your investment and  preventing service interruptions.
