Steelite Performance
Steelite Orbita Coupe Plates White 152.5mm (Pack of 12)
£53.62(£64.34 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Steelite Orbita is a white coupe plate from Steelite Performance's professional tableware range. The coupe profile — a shallow, rimless or near-rimless form — keeps the focus on the food, making these plates a practical choice for kitchens where presentation matters. The flowing circular lines draw the eye naturally towards the centre of the plate, giving chefs a clean canvas without the need for elaborate plating techniques.
These plates are constructed from Alumina vitrified porcelain, which is the standard specification for serious commercial tableware. The vitrification process produces a dense, non-porous body that resists staining and glaze damage more effectively than standard earthenware or lighter-grade porcelain. In a busy service environment, that durability translates directly into lower replacement rates and more consistent-looking covers throughout a shift.
From an operational standpoint, the Orbita coupe plates offer several practical advantages for front-of-house teams:
- Thermal shock resistance supports movement between cold storage, microwave, and hot pass without cracking
- Good heat retention helps maintain dish temperature from pass to table
- Full dishwasher compatibility suits high-turnover operations with continuous wash cycles
- The Steelite Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty provides reassurance on the most common point of wear in service
At 152.5mm, this is a smaller coupe plate — well suited to starters, amuse-bouches, desserts, or side dishes rather than main courses. For operations needing a full coupe range across courses, Steelite produce the Orbita in larger diameters. These plates are supplied in a pack of 12, which suits initial trials or topping up existing stock.
If you are specifying tableware across a full cover count or mixing plate sizes within the same collection, our team is happy to work through quantities and formats with you before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Are these plates suitable for use as a main course plate?
At 152.5mm (approximately 6 inches), the Orbita coupe is better suited to starters, desserts, amuse-bouches, or side dishes. For main course covers, a larger diameter from the Orbita range would give chefs more plating space and a more proportionate presentation on the table.
How does the Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty work in practice?
Steelite's Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty covers manufacturing defects and edge chipping under normal commercial use — the most common failure point for coupe-style plates where the rim is exposed. It is worth confirming the specific claim process with Steelite or your supplier at the point of purchase, as warranty terms can vary by distributor.
Can these plates handle the demands of a high-volume dishwash operation?
Yes — the Alumina vitrified construction and thermal shock resistance make these plates well suited to continuous commercial dishwash cycles. The dense, non-porous body resists the glaze degradation that can affect lower-grade tableware over time, helping maintain a consistent appearance through repeated washing.
