Steelite Orbita Coupe Plates White 285mm (12 Pack)
£114.00(£136.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Steelite Orbita is a white coupe plate with a gently curved, rimless profile that draws the eye naturally to the centre of the dish. The 285mm diameter makes it a practical main course plate suited to a wide range of menu styles, from casual dining to more considered plating in contemporary restaurants. The design carries a subtly organic quality that sits comfortably alongside both modern and traditional table settings.
Steelite's Alumina vitrified construction gives these plates meaningful durability under the pressures of daily commercial service. Resistance to thermal shock means they can move reliably between kitchen and table without the glaze degrading over time, and the surface holds up well against staining and the mechanical wear of regular dishwasher cycles. Heat retention is solid enough to support consistent service temperatures across a sitting.
From an operational standpoint, the coupe format offers a clean, uncluttered surface that works well for portion control and presentation consistency. Key practical points include:
- Dishwasher, microwave, and freezer compatible for flexible kitchen use
- Thermal shock resistance reduces breakage risk during temperature transitions
- Stain-resistant glaze helps maintain appearance over extended use
- Backed by Steelite's Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty for added reassurance
- Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to stocking by cover count
These plates are well suited to restaurants, hotels, contract caterers, and pub kitchens running a structured main course offer. At 285mm they work across most main course presentations without being oversized. Operations running very high covers may want to consider ordering in larger quantities to maintain adequate rotation stock and account for attrition.
If you're building out a full table setting or want to confirm these sit well alongside other Steelite ranges you're already using, we're happy to help you work through the options.
Frequently asked questions
How many packs would a typical restaurant need to order for full service rotation?
A general guide is to hold three times your seated cover count across your plate stock, allowing for plates in service, in the wash, and in reserve. For a 40-cover restaurant, four to six packs of 12 is a reasonable starting point, though attrition rates and sitting frequency will affect the right number for your operation.
Are these plates suitable for use with induction or hot-plate pass equipment?
The Alumina vitrified construction offers good heat retention and can handle the temperature demands of a hot pass, but these are ceramic plates rather than induction-compatible servingware. They will hold heat effectively once warmed but are not designed to be heated directly on an induction surface.
Does the Orbita range include other sizes or complementary pieces for a full table setting?
The Orbita collection does extend across multiple sizes and piece types, so it is possible to build a coordinated table setting within the range. If you're looking to match across courses or align with existing Steelite pieces, it's worth getting in touch so we can confirm compatibility and help you avoid ordering pieces that won't sit well together visually.
