Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A contemporary bistro in Bristol, 'The Forge & Fern', was looking to refresh their tableware to complement a new, locally-sourced menu. They needed something that felt authentic and  premium, moving away from standard white plates.

"Our food is all about honest, quality ingredients. The Steelite Koto V174 platters reflect that perfectly. They feel special in the customer's hands and  make our dishes look incredible on Instagram."

Oliver Davies – Head Chef

Since introducing the new platters, the bistro has noted a significant increase in diners photographing and  sharing their meals on social media, boosting their online visibility.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Unpack carefully and  give each platter a quick inspection for peace of mind.
  • Run them through a dishwasher cycle or wash in warm, soapy water before their first use.
  • When stacking, be mindful of the unique glaze. While tough, careful stacking is always best practice.
  • Let your team know they're handling premium gear – they’re durable but not indestructible!

Keeping Them Perfect

  • These plates are happy in a commercial dishwasher, but don't overcrowd the rack to avoid collisions.
  • For any stubborn food marks, a simple, non-abrasive cream cleaner will do the trick.
  • The glaze is incredibly durable, but it's always wise to avoid excessive scraping with serrated knives.
  • Regularly check for any chips and  remove any damaged items from service to maintain professional standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure which collection is right for your venue? Here are a few things to consider before you decide.

Size and  Shape

Think about your menu. Do you need classic round plates for traditional dishes, or a rectangular serving plate Steelite for sharing boards and  modern plating?

Material Matters

Vitrified ceramic like this offers incredible durability for busy environments, resisting chips and  the thermal shock of a fast-paced kitchen.

Aesthetic & Ambiance

Your tableware is part of your décor. Does a rustic, reactive glaze like Koto's match your brand, or do you need classic white porcelain?

Stackability & Storage

Check if the plates are designed to stack neatly and  safely. Good stackability is a huge space-saver in a cramped professional kitchen.

Long-Term Value

Cheaper plates might seem like a saving, but investing in a durable, glaze-damage-resistant range often costs less over time due to fewer replacements.

What Exactly Makes Alumina Vitrified Ceramic So Tough?

Ever wondered what the jargon actually means? It’s simpler than it sounds. 'Vitrified' means the ceramic has been fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the clay to become glassy and  non-porous. Think of it like sealing a wooden deck – it stops anything from soaking in, which is why it's so resistant to stains and  doesn't absorb moisture or old flavours. The 'Alumina' part is the secret weapon. It's a super-strong oxide that's added to the clay mixture, acting like rebar in concrete. This addition massively boosts the platter's strength, making it exceptionally resistant to chipping and  the general knocks of a busy kitchen. It’s a plate that’s been seriously beefed up.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for presenting signature main courses or artistic sharing platters with a dramatic, earthy flair.
  • Boutique Hotels: Ideal for elevating your room service presentation or for use in the hotel's exclusive bistro.
  • High-End Gastropubs: Use this commercial dinner platter 370x265mm to serve up gourmet roasts or impressive fish dishes, adding instant rustic charm.
  • Event Caterers: A durable and  stunning choice for serving canapés or buffet items at weddings and  corporate events.
