  • Best Feature: The alumina-enhanced body is exceptionally durable for its artisanal look.
  • Heads-Up: The organic shape means they don't stack as tightly as standard round plates.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Tawny Owl, a gastropub in Shrewsbury, decided their menu, which focused on colourful, locally sourced produce, was being let down by their plain white crockery. They needed tableware that would reflect their brand's natural, high-quality ethos and  make their vibrant dishes pop.

"The moment we plated our seared scallops on these Steelite Craft green plates, we knew we'd made the right choice. The colour just makes everything look richer and  more appetising. We've had more customers photographing their food in the last month than in the whole of the last year!"

Robert Finch – Head Chef

The pub saw a significant uplift in their social media engagement, with customers frequently tagging them in photos that showcased the distinctive green freestyle plates.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Give the plates a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue.
  • Familiarise your team with the new shape, as they will stack differently from standard round plates.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent scratching, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift and  stack them carefully.
  • Although highly durable, avoid using abrasive metal scourers which can damage the fine glaze over time.
  • The fully glazed foot helps prevent scratching, but ensure shelving is clean and  free from grit.
  • Use a pre-rinse to remove stubborn food before the main wash cycle to maintain the plate's pristine finish.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure which plate is the perfect partner for your menu? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing professional tableware.

Material Matters

Vitrified ceramic, like these Steelite Craft V049 plates, offers supreme durability for busy settings. It’s the go-to for pubs, hotels, and  restaurants needing tableware that lasts.

Shape and  Style

Coupe plates offer a borderless, modern canvas perfect for dishes with sauces. Consider a freestyle or organic shape to add a rustic, handcrafted feel to your service.

The Power of Colour

While white is a classic, coloured crockery can transform a dish. Earthy tones like this green make fresh ingredients appear more vibrant and  appealing.

Stacking and  Storage

Check if plates have a glazed foot. This small detail prevents the base from scratching the surface of the plate below it, extending its life and  look.

Match the Menu

Ensure your crockery complements your food. A visually interesting plate like this is brilliant for simple, elegant dishes, allowing the plate to be part of the presentation.

What Does 'Alumina Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

You see 'alumina vitrified ceramic' on the specs, but what does it really mean? Let's break it down. 'Vitrified' means the ceramic has been fired at such a high temperature that it becomes non-porous and  glass-like. This is your first line of defence against stains and  absorption. But Steelite takes it a step further by adding 'alumina'—a super-hard compound also known as aluminium oxide. Think of it like adding steel rebar to concrete. This addition massively boosts the plate's strength, making it far more resistant to the chips and  knocks that are inevitable in a fast-paced professional kitchen. So, you get the beautiful look of artisan pottery with the powerhouse durability needed for commercial service.
