Steelite Bianco Handled Soup Cups 284ml (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Bianco handled soup cup is a white, Manhattan-style soup cup finished in alumina vitrified ceramic. At 284ml it sits comfortably in the standard single-portion soup service bracket, and the twin-handled form makes it practical for both plated and tray-service environments. The pack quantity of 36 is sized with operational par levels in mind rather than domestic use.

Alumina vitrified ceramic is a sensible choice for high-throughput operations. It offers a harder, denser body than standard vitreous china, which translates to better resistance to the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers and the everyday knocks of a busy pass or tray-clearing station. Steelite back this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects the confidence a volume-catering supplier needs from its crockery range.

From an operational standpoint, the Bianco range offers a clean, unfussy white finish that works across a wide range of menu styles and table settings without committing the kitchen to a specific aesthetic. Key practical points worth noting:

• Handled design reduces heat transfer to guests — relevant for soups served at proper service temperature
• Alumina vitrified body withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Lifetime edge chip warranty supports cost-of-ownership planning
• Pack of 36 supports realistic par stock for mid-to-large covers
• White glaze is consistent across the Bianco range for cohesive table presentation

This cup is well suited to hotels, contract catering, pub restaurants, and staff dining operations where durability and consistency across a large crockery inventory matter more than decorative detail. For smaller operations running lower covers, a smaller pack size may be more appropriate depending on storage and budget.

If you are specifying crockery across multiple courses or need guidance on par levels for your covers, the team is happy to work through the numbers with you.
