Expert Review and  Insights

The Steelite Spyro range is a fantastic choice for any establishment that values both form and  function.

  • Best in Class Durability: The alumina vitrified body significantly reduces chipping, a huge cost-saver over time.
  • Classic Styling: The design is timeless, but might not suit extremely minimalist or avant-garde concepts.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rose & Crown in Canterbury, Kent, needed to refresh its tableware for their famously popular Sunday carvery. Their existing gravy boats were a mix-and-match collection that looked tired and  were prone to chipping, detracting from the overall dining experience.

"We switched to the Steelite Spyro gravy boats and  the difference was instant. They look brilliant, they feel sturdy in the customer's hand, and  they just glide through the dishwasher. They handle the Sunday rush without a single chip so far."

Michael Edwards – Landlord

The change resulted in a 90% reduction in tableware breakages within the first three months and  overwhelmingly positive feedback from regulars on the improved presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • On arrival, carefully unbox and  check each piece for any transit damage.
  • Give each sauce boat a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run it through a dishwasher cycle before its first use.
  • Ensure you have adequate and  safe shelving space for storage.

Keeping It Going

  • While dishwasher safe, avoid overcrowding racks to prevent items from knocking together.
  • Use a soft cloth or non-abrasive scourer for any stubborn, baked-on food to protect the glaze.
  • To prevent stains, rinse promptly after use, especially with rich sauces like tomato or bolognese.
  • Handle with care when stacking to maximise the life of your tableware.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material is Key

Look for terms like 'vitrified' or 'alumina'. This indicates superior strength and  durability, which is essential for a commercial environment to minimise replacement costs.

Check the Capacity

Consider your portion sizes. A 340ml boat is great for tables of 2-4, but you might need larger or smaller options for different dishes or service styles.

Think About Storage

While not always perfectly stackable, consider how pieces will fit in your kitchen. A uniform collection from one range, like Spyro, often stores more efficiently than a mix of styles.

Match Your Aesthetic

Your tableware is part of your brand. A classic white, like this Steelite sauce boat 340ml, is versatile and  timeless, letting your food be the hero.

Prioritise Practicality

Ensure your chosen items are dishwasher, microwave, and  oven safe if needed. This versatility saves an enormous amount of time and  effort in a busy kitchen.

Why Alumina Vitrified Ceramic is a Chef's Best Friend

Ever wondered what 'alumina vitrified ceramic' actually means? It's the secret sauce behind this gravy boat's incredible toughness. During manufacturing, alumina (a super-hard compound, the same stuff found in sapphires!) is mixed into the clay before it's fired at extremely high temperatures. This process, called vitrification, melts all the particles together, removing any tiny pockets of air.

Think of it like this: standard ceramic is like a dry-stone wall, with lots of little gaps. Alumina vitrified ceramic is like a solid wall of reinforced concrete. This dense, non-porous structure is what gives it its muscle, making it exceptionally resistant to chipping from knocks and  cracking from 'thermal shock'—like when a hot boat is plunged into dishwater. It means your tableware lasts longer and  looks better, saving you money and  hassle.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Gastropubs: An essential for elevating the presentation of Sunday roasts, steaks, and  signature sauce-based dishes.
  • Hotels & Event Caterers: Perfect for banquet tables and  room service, offering a durable yet elegant solution for serving sauces.
  • Bistros & Cafes: Ideal for serving generous portions of custard with puddings or gravy with pie and  mash.
  • Conference Centres: A reliable and  professional choice for serving sauces during catered lunches and  large-scale functions.
