Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Grill in Falmouth was looking to refresh its tableware. Their existing crockery was prone to chipping and  didn't reflect the quality of their locally-sourced seafood menu. They needed something that was both elegant and  tough enough for a busy seaside restaurant.

"We were replacing plates constantly; it was a hidden cost that kept adding up. Since we switched to the Steelite Taste bowls, our breakages have plummeted. They look stunning, they hold the heat from the kitchen to the table, and  they just feel like quality. It's a small change that has made a huge difference to our presentation."

Robert Davies – Proprietor

The switch resulted in a 45% reduction in their quarterly crockery replacement budget and  a notable increase in positive customer comments on presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Run the full box through a commercial dishwasher cycle to ensure they are perfectly clean and  sanitised before their first use.
  • Ensure your storage shelves are clean, dry, and  robust enough to handle the combined weight of the bowls.
  • Stack them carefully, avoiding excessively high towers that could become unstable. A fully glazed foot helps prevent scratching.

Keeping It Going

  • To preserve the glaze, avoid sliding bowls across each other when unstacking – always lift them.
  • While highly stain-resistant, it's good practice to rinse off highly acidic or pigmented foods if they won't be washed immediately.
  • Never use abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glaze over time.
  • Regularly check for any damage. Although incredibly tough, any chipped items should be removed from service to ensure food safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Restaurant Porcelain Serveware

Not sure what fits best for your establishment? Here are a few things to consider when choosing commercial tableware.

Durability is Key

Look for vitrified ceramic with added alumina like this Steelite range. It might seem like a bigger initial outlay, but it saves a fortune on replacement costs in the long run.

Size and  Shape

Consider your portion sizes and  menu. A versatile 200mm square porcelain serving bowl can work for appetisers, mains, and  desserts, giving you great flexibility.

Thermal Properties

Does your tableware need to be oven-safe? Good heat and  chill retention keeps hot food hot and  cold food fresh, improving the customer experience from kitchen to table.

Storage and  Practicality

Check for stackability and  weight. Your team will be handling these all day long, so practical design that saves space and  is manageable to carry is vital for a smooth service.

Aesthetic and  Branding

Your crockery is part of your restaurant's identity. Choose a style that complements your food, décor, and  the overall story you want to tell your guests.

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

You see 'alumina vitrified ceramic' mentioned a lot with premium tableware, but what is it really? Think of it as a two-step power-up for regular ceramic. First, 'vitrification' is the process of firing the clay at such a high temperature that it becomes non-porous and  glass-like. This is what stops it from absorbing water, flavours, or odours.

But the 'alumina' part is the real secret weapon. Alumina is an incredibly hard compound (aluminium oxide) that's added to the clay mixture before firing. It's like reinforcing concrete with steel bars. The vitrification makes the bowl strong, but the alumina gives it immense structural integrity, making it exceptionally resistant to the knocks, bumps, and  chips that are unavoidable in a busy professional kitchen. It’s why this Steelite Taste V7214 porcelain serving bowl can stand up to so much punishment.
