Expert Review and Insights
Steelite has a stellar reputation for a reason, and the FreeStyle range is a prime example. These plates have a lovely, substantial weight to them – not flimsy, but not clunky either.

For any establishment wanting to make a statement without being overtly fussy, these are a brilliant choice.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth was looking to upgrade its mismatched and frequently-chipped tableware to better reflect its premium seaside location and newly refined menu.
"We were constantly replacing plates. It was a hidden cost that was really adding up. The Steelite FreeStyle V9966 plates have stopped that dead. They look fantastic, our customers have commented on the quality, and our chefs love the generous size for plating. A brilliant operational decision for us."
Robert Davies – General Manager
After six months, the restaurant reported zero replacements due to chipping, saving an estimated £1,200 annually and improving customer feedback on presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect all plates for any signs of transit damage before washing.
- Run all new plates through a full dishwasher cycle before their first use to ensure they are completely clean and sterile.
- Stack carefully in a designated, stable storage area. Avoid stacking too high to prevent excess pressure on the bottom plates.
Keeping It Going
- To maintain the pristine glaze, avoid using abrasive metal scourers. A plastic brush or sponge is all you need.
- Load plates into dishwasher racks so they don't knock against each other during the wash cycle.
- The durable glaze is highly resistant to staining, but it's good practice to rinse off highly pigmented foods if plates will sit for hours before washing.
- While incredibly tough, avoid dropping them or using them for tasks they aren't designed for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates sold individually or only by the box?
A: These Steelite FreeStyle V9966 plates are supplied in a box of 12, which is ideal for professional kitchens needing to stock up.
Q: What exactly is 'alumina vitrified' porcelain?
A: It's a type of high-quality porcelain with alumina added for extra strength and durability. 'Vitrified' means it's been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, incredibly strong, and chip-resistant.
Q: Is the glaze lead-free and safe for food?
A: Absolutely. All Steelite professional tableware is manufactured to strict international standards and features a lead-free glaze, making it completely safe for food service.
Q: How resistant are they to cutlery scratches?
A: The glaze is exceptionally durable and designed to resist everyday scratching from standard cutlery, keeping the plates looking great for longer.
Q: Can I use serrated steak knives on these plates?
A: While the glaze is very tough, frequent and aggressive use of serrated knives can eventually mark any ceramic surface. However, they stand up very well to normal steak knife use.
Q: Are they heavy to carry?
A: They have a reassuring weight that signals quality to the customer, but they are ergonomically designed for professional use, so staff find them manageable to carry in stacks.
Q: Are these plates stackable for storage?
A: Yes, they are designed with a stable foot to be stacked safely and efficiently in a commercial kitchen environment.
Q: Why is the warranty only for the 'edge'?
A: The edge is the most vulnerable part of a plate in a busy environment. The warranty covers this specific, high-impact area against chipping during normal use, which is where most damage occurs.
