Commercial Super Vit Plain Whiteware is the backbone of any serious UK restaurant, hotel or café looking to serve food with style and substance. This professional-grade porcelain is miles ahead of standard ceramic—built specifically to handle the rough and tumble of busy commercial kitchens and dishwashers. With exceptional chip resistance and brilliant white finish that makes food pop, Super Vit has become the gold standard in catering. After 50 years kitting out restaurants, we've seen how this durable tableware pairs brilliantly with glassware and cutlery sets for a complete professional dining experience. It's the smart investment that keeps delivering service after service!
Super Vit whiteware isn't just ordinary porcelain—it's commercial-grade brilliance in action. The magic lies in its specialized vitrification process, where the clay is fired at extremely high temperatures (typically over 1200°C) to create a glass-like, non-porous surface. This makes the plates and bowls significantly stronger than standard ceramics, with exceptional resistance to chips, scratches and thermal shock. The fired glaze creates that pristine white surface that enhances food presentation while preventing stains from seeping in. Most pieces feature strengthened edges—the most vulnerable area in daily service—ensuring they survive thousands of trips through industrial dishwashers without losing their lustre!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Super Vit Plain Whiteware
To maximize the lifespan of your Super Vit whiteware, avoid stacking plates too high which can lead to chips along the edges. When washing, use racks with proper spacing to prevent items knocking together. While Super Vit is oven-safe, avoid sudden temperature changes whenever possible. For stubborn stains, try a paste of baking soda rather than harsh chemicals. Store plates vertically in plate racks rather than stacked when space allows to reduce wear on the glazed surface.
