What I love about the Steelite Simplicity range is its sheer honesty. It doesn't pretend to be anything it's not.

  • Practical Powerhouse: Genuinely tough; it withstands daily knocks, drops, and  commercial dishwashers.
  • Understated Design: Its classic look might be too simple for venues seeking dramatic tableware.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth was looking to upgrade their tableware. Their existing sauce boats were constantly chipping during busy services and  in the dishwasher, leading to high replacement costs and  a less-than-perfect look on the table.

"We were fed up with replacing our crockery every few months. The Steelite Simplicity white sauce dish not only looks more professional, but it’s also unbelievably tough. We haven't had a single chip since we brought them in six months ago. They handle everything we throw at them."

Laura Jennings – Restaurant Manager

The switch resulted in a significant drop in their crockery budget, reducing replacement needs for smallware by over 70% in the first year.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the dishes a quick wash before first use to remove any packaging dust.
  • The alumina body is ready for immediate use, no pre-seasoning or special prep is needed.
  • Thanks to the glazed foot, you can stack them straight out of the box without worry.

Keeping It Going

  • Designed for commercial dishwashers; use your standard cycles for a perfect clean.
  • The high-quality glaze resists stains, so even dark sauces rinse away easily.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers or steel wool to protect the glaze's longevity.
  • Check for any accidental damage before heating in an oven or microwave.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what fits best for your business? Choosing professional tableware goes beyond just looks. Here are a few key things to consider.

Material Matters

For busy environments, alumina vitrified ceramic offers the best defence against chips and  breakages, saving you money on replacements.

Capacity and  Portion Control

Consider what you'll serve most. A 127ml white sauce dish is great for individual portions, ensuring consistency and  reducing waste.

Stacking and  Storage

Space is always tight. Look for items with a glazed foot, which allows for safe, stable stacking without scratching the pieces below.

Think About Workflow

Can your crockery go from the freezer to the microwave, then to the table, and  finally into the dishwasher? Versatility saves time and  labour.

Match Your Brand

Choose a style that complements your restaurant's identity. A timeless white design, like this Steelite Harmony sauce bowl, is a safe and  elegant bet.

Why a 'Fully Glazed Foot' Is a Bigger Deal Than You Think

Ever noticed that rough, unglazed ring on the bottom of a cheap plate? That's the foot. When you stack those plates, that abrasive surface acts like sandpaper, scratching the glazed top of the plate below it. Over time, this causes a web of ugly scratches, dulling your tableware and  making it look old and  tired.

The Steelite V9503 sauce dish features a 'fully glazed foot'. This means the entire base is sealed with the same smooth, hard-wearing glaze as the rest of the dish. Think of it like putting felt pads on the bottom of furniture. When you stack these sauce boats, it’s a smooth-on-smooth contact, completely eliminating scratching. It’s a small detail that drastically extends the life and  pristine look of your entire crockery collection, saving you money in the long run.
