APS SAN Plate Cover

This plate cover from APS is made from SAN (styrene acrylonitrile), a rigid, food-safe plastic with reasonable impact resistance and clarity. It is available in four sizes to fit 220mm, 240mm, 280mm and 285mm plates, and sits over a plated dish during service to protect food between the pass and the table.

In a restaurant or hospitality setting, plate covers help retain warmth in hot dishes and keep cold dishes free from contamination while food waits for service or is carried through a busy dining room. SAN keeps the weight down, which matters when front-of-house staff handle multiple covers repeatedly through a long service.

• Helps retain warmth in plated dishes between kitchen and table
• Shields food from airborne contamination during service
• Lightweight SAN construction makes them easy to handle and stack
• Suitable for both hot and cold dishes
• Available in 220mm, 240mm, 280mm and 285mm

Check your plate diameter before ordering: a cover that is too small will not seat correctly, and one that is too large will not retain heat effectively. SAN is a service cover, not a heat-retaining dome, and is not designed for oven, bain marie or heated-cabinet use, so for extended hold times a heated trolley or cloche system is more appropriate.

These covers suit restaurants, hotels, banqueting operations, contract catering and care homes where plated service is the norm. If you are unsure which size or material suits your service style or plate range, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
