How Super Vitrified Contempo Tableware Works
Ever wondered what makes super vitrified tableware so brilliant for commercial settings? It's all in the specialized firing process. These pieces undergo extreme temperatures up to 1400°C—significantly hotter than standard porcelain—creating a glass-like, non-porous surface that's virtually sealed. This vitrification process fundamentally alters the clay structure, making it incredibly dense and eliminating those microscopic pores where bacteria might lurk. The result? A hospitality-grade tableware that resists chips, scratches and thermal shock when moving between hot ovens and cold storage—while maintaining its pristine appearance through thousands of wash cycles.

Top Tips for Using Super Vitrified Contempo Tableware
To maximise your super vitrified tableware investment, avoid stacking pieces too high as this can lead to chipping despite their durability. When introducing new pieces to your kitchen, consider running them through the dishwasher once before first use to remove any manufacturing residue. While microwave safe, avoid extreme direct heat like placing directly on cooking surfaces. For the most impressive food presentation, choose contrasting plate colours to your signature dishes, and consider plate warmers to maintain food temperature without damaging your premium tableware.
