Delivery Information
Price Match
These rectangular trays are part of the Cali range from Steelite's Creations collection. Made from BPA-free melamine, they present with the clean, contemporary appearance of ceramic tableware while offering the practical resilience that busy food service environments demand. The white finish keeps presentation neutral and consistent across a table or buffet spread.
Melamine at this format is a common choice in catering operations where breakage risk is a real concern — hotel buffets, contract catering, outdoor events, and high-turnover hospitality venues all benefit from a material that handles knocks without shattering. The trays are suitable for both hot and cold food service and clean up reliably in a commercial dishwasher.
- Break-resistant melamine construction — well suited to high-traffic service environments
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround during busy service periods
- BPA-free material appropriate for direct food contact
- Consistent white finish supports clean, professional buffet presentation
- Lightweight format makes handling and stacking straightforward for front-of-house teams
These trays are sold in a pack of six, which suits operators building or replenishing stock incrementally. For venues running large-scale buffet operations or needing to cover multiple service points simultaneously, it is worth considering how many packs will realistically cover your service volume and dishwasher cycle times.
If you are specifying tableware across a larger opening or refurbishment and want to discuss quantities or coordinate with other pieces in the Cali range, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Are these trays suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?
Yes, the melamine construction is dishwasher safe and designed to withstand the temperatures and detergents used in commercial warewashing cycles. That said, like all melamine, they should not be used in a microwave or subjected to prolonged direct heat, as this can cause degradation over time.
How many packs would a typical buffet operation need?
That depends on your cover numbers, the length of your service period, and how frequently trays cycle through the dishwasher. As a general guide, it is worth having enough trays to cover at least one full service run without relying on immediate washup return — for most operations that means working out your peak simultaneous tray usage and building in a buffer. If you are unsure, we can help you estimate based on your setup.
How does melamine compare to ceramic or porcelain for buffet use?
Melamine is significantly more break-resistant than ceramic or porcelain, which makes it a practical choice for high-traffic buffet environments, outdoor catering, and venues where tableware sees rough handling or frequent movement. The trade-off is that it cannot go in a microwave and may show surface wear over time with very heavy commercial use, so it is worth factoring replacement cycles into your purchasing plan.
