- Built to Last: The alumina-fortified body is impressively chip-resistant, even on the edges.
- Modest Design: Its simplicity is a strength, but it might be too plain for some concepts.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth was struggling with constant chipping and breakages from their standard high-street crockery during hectic tourist seasons. They needed a more professional solution that maintained a quality feel for their seafood-focused menu.
"We were replacing plates almost weekly, which was both costly and frustrating. The Steelite Simplicity V0184 combi tray immediately felt different – sturdier, yet still refined enough for our presentation standards. They’ve handled a full summer season without a single chip."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a 45% reduction in their crockery replacement budget within the first six months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each platter for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give all trays a full cycle in the dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
- Store on appropriate racking or shelving, ensuring they are not placed under heavy or sharp items.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid scratching, rinse off abrasive food debris before loading into a dishwasher.
- Stack platters of the same size and shape together. Avoid mixing with metal cookware in the same stack.
- If stubborn stains from things like curry or tomato appear, a pre-soak in a gentle solution will usually lift them right off.
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers; a non-abrasive pad is all that's needed for tough spots.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Alumina Vitrified Ceramic?
A: It's a high-quality ceramic that has been fired at very high temperatures to make it non-porous and strong, with alumina added to provide extra durability and chip-resistance.
Q: Are these platters genuinely safe for oven use?
A: Yes, their excellent thermal shock resistance means they are designed to go from cold to hot environments, like a commercial oven, without cracking.
Q: Can I use these in the microwave?
A: Absolutely. They are fully microwave-safe, making them perfect for reheating individual portions or components.
Q: How well do these platters stack?
A: The Steelite Simplicity range is designed for professional kitchens, featuring a stable foot that allows for neat and secure stacking to save space.
Q: Will they stain from foods like beetroot or curry?
A: No, the vitrified, glazed surface is non-porous and highly stain-resistant. Food residue washes off easily, keeping the white finish pristine.
Q: What is the best way to clean them?
A: They are fully commercial dishwasher safe. For any tough, baked-on food, a short soak and a non-abrasive pad will work perfectly.
Q: I'm seeing grey marks on my plates, what are they?
A: These are typically 'metal marks' from cutlery, not scratches in the glaze. They can usually be removed with a specialised porcelain cleaner or a gentle acidic solution.
Q: Are these sold individually or in a pack?
A: This product, SKU V0184, is sold in a box of 12 platters to ensure great value for commercial buyers.

Explore more from SteeliteWhat 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic' Actually Means for Your Kitchen
You'll see 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic' on a lot of high-end crockery, but what is it? Think of it as a two-part upgrade. 'Vitrified' means the ceramic has been fired at an extremely high temperature, which melts the clay particles together and makes the final product non-porous. This is why it resists stains and doesn't absorb moisture or odours. Then comes the 'Alumina' part – this is a powerful strengthening agent, like adding carbon fibre to a structure. It's mixed into the clay to give the finished platter immense structural strength and resistance to chipping, especially on vulnerable edges. So, you're not just getting a nice plate; you're getting one that's been scientifically engineered to survive in a tough commercial environment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bistros & Restaurants: Ideal for elegantly presenting starters, sharing plates, or signature desserts with style and durability.
- Event & Contract Caterers: A robust, stackable, and professional commercial white serving tray that withstands transport and frequent use.
