Product Description
The Steelite Taste 165mm round stacking tray is a compact, versatile piece from Steelite's Taste collection, designed for casual dining presentations in professional catering environments. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic with a white glaze finish, these trays are intended for service rather than heavy kitchen duty — they sit comfortably on the pass or at the table for individual portions, small sharing plates, sandwiches, or amuse-bouche-style starters. Supplied in packs of twelve, they are practical to stock at a meaningful quantity from the outset.
In busy service environments, crockery takes a consistent battering through daily stacking, dishwasher cycling, and handling. The alumina vitrified body is well suited to this kind of sustained commercial use, offering meaningful resistance to thermal shock and everyday chipping compared with lower-grade ceramic alternatives. The glaze is stain-resistant, which helps maintain a clean, presentable appearance through repeated service cycles without demanding excessive attention from pot wash teams.
- Stackable form reduces storage footprint and speeds up reset between covers
- Stain-resistant glaze supports a consistent, clean presentation service to service
- Thermal shock resistance suited to dishwasher cycling in commercial kitchens
- Alumina vitrified body provides durability under regular handling and stacking
- White finish works across a wide range of food presentations and table settings
These trays require no installation considerations — they are straightforward smallwares. Storage space and dishwasher compatibility are the only practical factors to assess before ordering. The stacking design keeps them manageable in tight storage situations, and the 165mm diameter makes them appropriate for side portions or individual plated items rather than full main-course presentations.
These trays are well suited to cafés, bistros, hotel food and beverage operations, and casual dining restaurants where informal plating is part of the concept. For operations requiring larger serving pieces or a full casual-dining crockery range, the broader Taste collection includes complementary items that can be mixed across a table setting.
If you are specifying crockery across a new opening or replacing an existing range, our team is happy to help you work through quantities and piece types to suit your covers and service style.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction includes thermal shock resistance, which makes these trays suitable for regular commercial dishwasher cycling. This is an important consideration for high-turnover operations where crockery is turned around quickly between service covers.
- This depends on your covers, menu style, and how frequently your dishwasher cycles during service. As a general guide, operators typically aim to hold two to three times their peak cover count in any given piece to allow for items in use, on the pass, and in the wash simultaneously. If you are unsure, our team can help you work through the quantities.
- Yes. The Taste range is designed as a cohesive collection, and the white finish and casual aesthetic of these 165mm trays are intended to sit alongside other Taste pieces on the same table setting. This makes it straightforward to build a consistent look across different plate and bowl sizes within a single range.
