Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Bristol was struggling with constant crockery breakage from their previous supplier, which was affecting both their budget and  presentation standards. They switched to the Steelite Harmony plate 300mm for its renowned durability.

"We were frankly fed up with seeing chips on our plates after just a few weeks. The Steelite plates have been fantastic. They feel substantial, look professional, and  have drastically cut down on our breakages. Our mains look better than ever on them."

Samuel Davies – Proprietor

The bistro reported a staggering 70% reduction in their crockery replacement budget within the first year of making the switch.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  check each plate for any unlikely signs of damage during transit.
  • Always run the plates through a hot wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use.
  • Ensure your storage racks are clean, dry, and  designed to hold plates of this size securely.

Keeping It Going

  • To preserve the glaze, always pre-scrape food remnants before loading into the dishwasher.
  • Stack plates carefully, allowing the fully glazed foot to protect the surface of the plate beneath it.
  • Use a quality, non-abrasive commercial detergent to maintain the brilliant white finish.
  • Regularly inspect for any damage, however rare, to ensure you always meet food safety standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what fits your business best? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect hospitality dinnerware.

Material is Key

Vitrified ceramic is the gold standard for professional kitchens. It’s non-porous and  far more durable than standard earthenware, making it a wise long-term investment.

Consider Size and  Use

A 300mm plate is a versatile size, perfect for main courses. Think about your menu and  portion control when selecting the right diameter for your needs.

Look for Stackability

Space is always a premium. Look for features like a glazed foot, which prevents the rough bottom of one plate from scratching the surface of another when stacked.

Prioritise Versatility

Can the plate go from freezer to microwave to oven? A plate that can handle multiple tasks saves you time, space, and  the need for extra specialist dishes.

The Power of White

A simple, high-quality white plate is a timeless choice. It acts as a blank canvas, making your food's colours and  textures stand out beautifully.

What on Earth is 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic'?

Ever wondered what makes a professional plate so much tougher than the ones you have at home? It often comes down to being 'alumina vitrified'. Let's break that down. 'Vitrified' simply means the ceramic has been fired at an extremely high temperature, making it glass-like, non-porous, and  waterproof. It won't absorb moisture, flavours, or odours.

Now for the clever part: 'alumina' is an oxide of aluminium, an incredibly hard material. Adding it into the ceramic mix is like putting on a suit of armour. It dramatically boosts the plate's strength and  resistance to chipping from accidental knocks against tables, taps, and  other plates in the wash. Think of it as the secret ingredient that lets this plate survive in a demanding professional kitchen, saving you money on constant replacements.

Who Should Buy This?

  • High-End Restaurants: For presenting main courses on a clean, classic, and  incredibly durable plate that enhances food presentation.
  • Hotels and  Resorts: A fantastic choice for in-room dining, restaurant service, and  banqueting, where reliability is key.
  • Busy Gastropubs: The perfect platform for hearty pub classics, tough enough to withstand constant use and  washing cycles.
  • Professional Event Caterers: A smart, stackable, and  uniform option for serving hundreds of guests at weddings and  corporate events.
