The Steelite Messina range is a line of alumina vitrified ceramic trays designed for casual dining, café service, and informal plating presentations. The 165mm round format is a practical size for sides, sharing portions, condiments, or small plated items, and the blue colourway gives operators a straightforward way to introduce a relaxed, coastal aesthetic without committing to a full bespoke tableware programme.

Steelite's alumina vitrified body is produced to withstand the demands of regular commercial service. The material performs well under repeated thermal cycling — moving between dishwasher temperatures and ambient or chilled use — and holds up against the glaze wear and staining that tends to degrade cheaper tableware over time. The stacking profile keeps storage compact on shelves and in transit between kitchen and front of house, which is a practical consideration when counter or shelf space is limited.

For operators assessing these trays for day-to-day service, the practical advantages are straightforward:

  • Dishwasher, microwave, and freezer compatible — no special handling requirements
  • Stacking design reduces storage footprint and speeds up mise en place
  • Vitrified body resists staining and glaze wear through regular use
  • Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to equipping a section or supplementing an existing set
  • Covered by Steelite's Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty

These trays are well suited to cafés, bistros, casual dining rooms, and hospitality venues where informal presentation is part of the concept. The 165mm size works best as a side or sharing piece rather than a main plate, so operators with larger plating requirements should consider whether a bigger format within the Messina range would better serve the menu.

If you are specifying tableware across multiple covers or want to discuss how the Messina range fits alongside your existing crockery, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Are these trays suitable for daily commercial dishwasher use?

Yes. The alumina vitrified construction is intended for regular commercial dishwasher cycling. Steelite's vitrified body is produced to resist the thermal and mechanical stresses of high-frequency washing, which is why the range carries a Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty.

How many packs would a typical café or bistro need to open with?

That depends on cover count and how the trays are being used — as a side piece, sharing dish, or condiment holder. A rough starting point is one to two pieces per cover for a section, but operators running a fast-casual concept with continuous turnover may want additional stock to allow for items in the wash cycle at any time.

Is the 165mm size right for main course plating?

At 165mm this tray is better suited to sides, small sharing portions, or condiment presentation rather than main course plating. If your menu requires a larger surface area for mains, it is worth looking at larger formats within the Messina range before placing an order.
