How Super Vitrified Ultimo Tableware Works
Ever wondered what makes Super Vitrified Ultimo tableware so special? The magic happens during manufacturing when the clay composition is fired at exceptionally high temperatures—reaching over 1200°C. This extreme heat creates a denser, less porous structure than standard porcelain, essentially vitrifying (turning to glass) more of the material. The result? A remarkably strong plate or bowl that resists chips, withstands thermal shock when moving between hot and cold environments, and maintains its pristine appearance even after thousands of washes in commercial dishwashers. It's science that delivers practical benefits every service!

Safety Guidelines
- Inspect Regularly Check for hairline cracks that could worsen—ensures food safety.
- Avoid Extreme Changes Let frozen plates reach room temperature before heating—prevents breakage.
- Proper Cleaning Remove food debris before dishwashing—maintains hygiene.
- Store Carefully Use racks designed for tableware—prevents accidents.
- Handle Correctly Avoid carrying too many pieces at once—reduces drops.
- Discard Damaged Items Remove chipped pieces from service—prevents injuries.
Top Tips for Using Super Vitrified Ultimo Tableware
To maximise your Ultimo tableware investment, avoid sliding pieces against each other during washing and storage—this prevents micro-scratches that dull the finish over time. When stacking, place paper napkins between plates for extra protection, and train staff to handle properly rather than scraping plates directly into bins. Our restaurant clients find that using proper storage racks rather than piling pieces haphazardly extends lifespan significantly, keeping your commercial crockery looking pristine for years.
