The Steelite Messina range is a line of alumina vitrified ceramic stacking trays finished in a distinctive blue glaze. At 140mm in diameter, these round trays are a practical serving piece suited to starters, sides, small plates, and desserts across a range of food service settings. This listing supplies twelve trays per pack.

Alumina vitrified construction gives the Messina trays good resistance to the day-to-day stresses of a working kitchen — repeated dishwasher cycles, knocks during plating, and the temperature variation that comes with freezer-to-pass service. The glaze holds up well against staining and surface wear, which matters when presentation consistency is expected across a long service period.

From an operational standpoint, the trays offer a few practical advantages worth noting:

  • Stackable design reduces storage footprint in tight prep and pass areas
  • Compatible with dishwashers, microwaves, and freezers, supporting flexible service prep
  • Uniform size and shape aids consistent plating across a section
  • Steelite's Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty provides reassurance against edge damage in normal service use

There are no unusual installation considerations with tableware of this kind. The main practical question is quantity — for high-volume or multi-outlet operations, it is worth calculating cover numbers against likely turnaround time to determine how many packs are needed to maintain a working float without shortfall during peak service.

These trays are well suited to casual dining, café operations, hotel food service, and small plates or tapas menus where a compact, stackable ceramic piece is preferable to a full plate. Operations requiring a larger surface area or a different format will find alternative sizes and shapes available within the Steelite range.

If you are specifying tableware across a new opening or a full cover count and would like guidance on quantities or format options, the team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need for a typical cover count?

A useful starting point is to allow for at least one and a half times your cover count, accounting for pieces in use, in the wash cycle, and in reserve. For high-volume operations with fast turnaround, running a larger float reduces the risk of shortfall during peak service.

Are these trays suitable for high-temperature dishwasher cycles?

Alumina vitrified ceramics are designed to withstand the thermal demands of commercial dishwashers, including high-temperature sanitising cycles. That said, sudden and extreme temperature changes — such as moving a very cold piece directly into a high-heat environment — should be avoided to preserve glaze integrity over time.

Are these appropriate for outdoor or terrace dining service?

The Messina trays are ceramic, so they are best suited to supervised terrace or courtyard dining rather than unsupervised outdoor settings where breakage risk is higher. For heavily outdoor-focused operations, it is worth considering whether a more impact-resistant format would better suit the environment.
