Delivery Information

Price Match

The APS Stone Art deep plate is a 245mm melamine plate finished in a naturally flecked, earth-toned design with a textured brown rim and a gloss interior. The steep-sided profile makes it well suited to dishes with sauces, dressings, or accompaniments that benefit from containment on the plate.

Melamine of this construction handles the demands of regular commercial service reliably. It resists chipping and cracking far better than ceramic equivalents in high-turnover environments, and the stone art finish is practical in that it disguises minor surface wear that accumulates over time in busy operations. At 450g the plate has a reassuring weight that reads well on a table without being burdensome for front-of-house staff carrying multiple covers.

  • Dishwasher-safe for efficient turnaround between service periods
  • Microwave-safe, useful where dishes are finished or held to order
  • Rustic flecked finish suits contemporary casual dining and bistro-style presentation
  • Deep profile helps contain sauced or dressed dishes during service

Melamine is not suitable for conventional oven use, and it will not tolerate direct heat or open flame. It is worth confirming with your team that any pass or holding equipment in use is compatible with melamine before committing to a full set.

This plate suits casual dining venues, gastropubs, cafés, and event caterers looking for a durable alternative to ceramic that still presents well. It is sold singly, which allows operators to trial the range before purchasing in volume. For sites needing a broader Stone Art range, APS produce complementary pieces across bowl and plate formats in the same finish.

If you are putting together a full cover specification or want to discuss quantities and mix of sizes, the team is happy to help you work through what suits your operation.

Frequently asked questions

Is melamine suitable for use in a busy high-volume restaurant?

Melamine is a practical choice for casual dining, pub kitchens, and event catering where durability and breakage resistance matter. It is not appropriate for fine dining settings where ceramic or porcelain is expected, but for everyday commercial covers it holds up well through repeated dishwasher cycles.

Can this plate go in a microwave or conventional oven?

The APS Stone Art plate is confirmed microwave-safe, which makes it useful for finishing or holding dishes to order. It is not suitable for use in a conventional oven or under direct heat, so it should not be placed in a hot holding unit that uses radiant or convection heat.

How does the stone art finish hold up over time in a commercial dishwasher?

The flecked, textured finish is reasonably forgiving of the minor surface dulling that occurs with repeated commercial dishwashing. Operators generally find that the rustic aesthetic masks gradual wear better than plain white melamine, which tends to show scratches and discolouration more visibly.
