The Steelite Willow range is a true workhorse of the industry, and  this oval platter is no exception. It has a reassuring weight and  a flawless finish that you expect from a top-tier brand.

  • Top Marks: Its durability is outstanding; it handles daily knocks and  scrapes beautifully.
  • Heads-up: The classic design might not suit ultra-modern or minimalist restaurant concepts.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A historic inn in Bakewell, Peak District, needed to replace its mismatched and  frequently chipped crockery to better reflect its premium, locally-sourced menu. They chose the Steelite Willow collection for its classic look and  renowned durability.

"We were haemorrhaging money on replacing chipped plates. Since switching to Steelite Willow, our crockery has stood up to the demands of a relentless service. They still look brand new six months in, and  our food presentation has never been better."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The switch resulted in a 40% reduction in crockery replacement costs within the first year and  a noticeable increase in positive customer comments on presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give your new plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
  • Inspect each 330mm porcelain serving dish upon unboxing to ensure it's arrived in perfect condition.
  • When stacking for the first time, ensure shelves are clean, dry, and  strong enough to hold the weight of the full box.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent scuffs, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift them directly up when stacking or unstacking.
  • While highly durable, it's good practice to regularly check for any minor chips or cracks, removing any damaged items from service.
  • Use a plastic or rubber-coated spatula to scrape off excess food, which is gentler on the glaze than metal.
  • Stack like-for-like items together to ensure stability and  reduce the risk of accidents.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Feeling a bit stuck on what crockery is right for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Consider Durability

Look for vitrified porcelain or alumina-enhanced options. They cost more upfront but save you a fortune in replacement costs down the line.

Shape and  Size Matter

Think about your menu. Do you need a wide rim for decoration? A deep bowl for pasta? An oval restaurant platter porcelain for sharing dishes? Function should lead the way.

Match Your Style

Your plates are part of your brand. Choose a style that complements your decor, from rustic stoneware to classic white porcelain like this Steelite Willow serving plate.

Check for Stackability

Space is always tight in a professional kitchen. Crockery with a good stacking design saves valuable shelf space and  is much safer to handle.

Look for Versatility

Can it go in the oven, microwave, and  freezer? A plate that can handle different temperatures gives your kitchen team far more flexibility during a busy service.

What Does 'Alumina Vitrified' Actually Mean for You?

Ever wondered what makes some plates chip at the slightest knock while others seem almost indestructible? The secret here is 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic'. Think of it like making reinforced concrete. Standard ceramic is strong, but by adding Alumina – an incredibly hard mineral – into the mix, Steelite makes it exceptionally robust. The 'vitrification' part of the process means it's fired at a super high temperature, which makes the plate non-porous. In simple terms, it won't absorb water, oils, or odours, and  it creates a rock-hard surface that laughs in the face of chips, scratches, and  stains. It’s a bit of science that translates to a much longer life for your tableware.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: An elegant oval restaurant platter in porcelain perfect for showcasing signature main courses or sharing starters.
  • Hotels and  Resorts: Ideal for room service, buffet lines, or in-house restaurant dining where durability is key.
  • Gastropubs & Bistros: A robust and  stylish choice for serving everything from fish and  chips to a hearty pie.
  • Event Caterers: This Willow VV676 catering plate is easily stackable, tough, and  versatile for weddings and  corporate functions.
