Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Coach House Inn in Bakewell, Peak District, needed to replace their chipped and  mismatched side plates with something more professional and  durable for their busy Sunday lunch service.

"We were going through plates like there was no tomorrow. The Steelite platters are in a different league. They look clean, they're tough as old boots, and  they stack so neatly, which has freed up a whole shelf for us."

David Chen – Head Chef

This simple switch reduced their crockery replacement costs by over 60% in the first six months and  significantly improved presentation consistency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wash the platters in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
  • When stacking, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift them into place to prevent scuffing the glaze over time.
  • Check your dishwasher rack and  shelving dimensions to ensure a good fit for efficient storage and  washing cycles.

Keeping It Going

  • Although highly durable, avoid using metal scourers which can damage the glaze. A soft cloth or plastic brush is best.
  • To remove stubborn marks like tea or coffee tannins, soak the platters in a non-abrasive, purpose-made tableware destainer.
  • Avoid extreme and  sudden temperature changes where possible (e.g., from a hot oven directly into ice water) to maximise lifespan.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or 'fleabites' on the rim and  remove damaged items from service to maintain food safety standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what to look for? Here’s a quick guide to choosing the best crockery for your business.

Material Matters

Vitrified ceramic offers fantastic durability for busy environments, while porcelain provides a more delicate, high-end feel for fine dining.

Stackability is Key

Look for ranges with a 'fully stackable' design, especially if you're short on space. It’s a massive space-saver in tight storage areas.

Consider Your Menu

The colour and  style of your plates should complement your food. White is a classic, versatile choice that makes the colours of your dishes pop.

Durability vs. Delicacy

Be honest about your kitchen's pace. A tough, chip-resistant plate like this is a far better long-term investment for high-turnover sites.

Check for Versatility

Can it go in the oven, microwave, and  freezer? Multi-functional pieces save you from buying separate, specialised cookware and  dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates sold individually?

A: No, these are supplied in a box of 12, which is perfect for kitting out a professional kitchen and  ensuring you have enough stock for a busy service.

Q: What does 'vitrified' actually mean?

A: It means the ceramic has been fired at a very high temperature to make it non-porous (it won't absorb water or bacteria), much stronger, and  more hygienic than standard earthenware.

Q: Can I use these under a hot grill or salamander?

A: These platters are oven-safe for general heating and  cooking. However, the direct, intense heat from a grill may cause thermal shock, so it's not recommended.

Q: Is the 165mm the full diameter of the platter?

A: Yes, 165mm (or 6.5 inches) is the measurement across the widest part of the platter, edge to edge.

Q: Will they stain from things like beetroot or tomato-based sauces?

A: These platters feature a high-quality glaze that gives them excellent stain resistance, so they should clean up easily without discolouring.

Q: Are the bases of the plates glazed or unglazed?

A: Like most commercially-produced tableware, the foot of the plate is unglazed. This prevents it from sticking to the kiln shelf during firing.

Q: How well do these Steelite Taste round stacking trays actually stack?

A: They are specifically designed with a profile that allows for very stable, neat, and  space-saving stacking, which is a key requirement for professional kitchens.

Q: What is the 'Steelite Performance' collection?

A: It's one of Steelite's flagship ranges, specifically engineered to offer outstanding performance in terms of strength, durability, and  functionality for the modern hospitality industry.

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

Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? It often comes down to a process called vitrification, and  Steelite takes it a step further by adding alumina. Think of it like this: standard ceramic is like a dry sponge, full of tiny pores. Vitrification is a process of firing the ceramic at an extremely high temperature until it melts and  fuses together, closing up all those pores. This makes the platter solid, like glass, so it can't absorb water, odours, or bacteria.

But where does the alumina come in? Alumina is an incredibly hard compound (it's what rubies and  sapphires are made of!). Adding it into the ceramic mix before firing is like adding steel rebar to concrete – it massively boosts the final strength and  chip resistance. That's the secret sauce that gives this Steelite platter its legendary toughness, making it ready for the demanding pace of a commercial kitchen.
