"Dudson crockery isn’t just about looking good – it’s built to survive the daily hustle of busy service. If you want plates that can handle heat, scrapes, and still look posh on the pass, Dudson’s your best mate."
How Dudson Commercial Crockery Works
What makes Dudson tableware so special? It all starts with premium vitrified porcelain fired at incredibly high temperatures—creating tableware that's virtually non-porous and remarkably strong. This manufacturing process fuses clay and glass to create pieces that resist chips, cracks and stains better than standard ceramics. The glaze becomes integrated with the body rather than simply coating it, which is why Dudson plates maintain their brilliant white finish even after thousands of washes. Most pieces feature reinforced edges—those vulnerable spots that typically chip first in busy kitchens—giving you tableware that stands up to daily commercial use brilliantly.
Safety Guidelines
- Inspect Regularly Check for hairline cracks that could worsen during service.
- Avoid Thermal Shock Don't move from freezer directly to hot oven—gradual warming prevents breakage.
- Handle With Care Carry stacks appropriately—avoid overloading waitstaff.
- Discard Damaged Items Remove chipped pieces—they can harbour bacteria.
- Clean Thoroughly Ensure full sanitisation between use—health inspectors check this.
- Secure Storage Use designated racks to prevent accidents and breakages.

Top Tips for Using Dudson Commercial Crockery
To maximise your Dudson tableware investment, train staff on proper handling techniques—always carry plates by the bottom, not the rim. Store plates in dedicated racks rather than stacked too high to prevent unnecessary pressure. Though exceptionally durable, avoid sudden temperature changes as even vitrified porcelain can crack when moving directly from freezer to oven. While dishwasher safe, use soft-water cycles where possible, and consider plate rinse aid to maintain that showroom shine across hundreds of washes.
