Product Description
The Steelite Creations Pompeii Slate Bowl is a small melamine serving bowl with a slate-effect finish, designed for use in fast-casual dining, street food concepts, and informal food service settings. At 147.8ml capacity, it is well suited to sides, sauces, dips, small starters, or accompaniments rather than main course portions.
Melamine tableware of this type is a practical choice where breakage cost and durability are operational concerns. Unlike ceramic alternatives, melamine handles the inevitable knocks of a busy pass or self-service counter without chipping or shattering, which helps keep replacement costs down over time. The slate-effect appearance suits the kind of relaxed, contemporary table setting common in casual dining and street food venues.
From a practical standpoint, this bowl offers a few clear operational advantages:
- Melamine construction resists chipping and cracking under daily commercial use
- Slate-effect finish works well with rustic, contemporary, or casual dining presentations
- Compact size suits portion control for sides, dips, and condiments
- Lightweight format eases handling during busy service periods
- Sold in a box of 24, supporting consistent table or counter setups
It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for microwave or oven use, and care should be taken to follow the manufacturer's guidance on dishwasher temperature limits to preserve the finish over time. This bowl is a front-of-house item and is not designed for food preparation or cooking.
This bowl is best suited to casual dining operations, food halls, festivals, pop-ups, and any venue prioritising durability and presentation at a modest price point. For operations requiring larger serving bowls or different capacities, other options within the Pompeii range may be worth considering.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Melamine tableware is generally dishwasher safe, but it is important to follow Steelite's guidance on temperature limits, as excessively high wash temperatures can degrade the surface finish over time. Checking the specific care instructions supplied with the product is advisable before committing to a wash programme.
- Melamine is not suitable for microwave use and should not be used in ovens or under heat lamps. It is designed for cold or ambient food presentation — sides, dips, sauces, and similar accompaniments — rather than for serving dishes that require sustained heat retention.
- A common starting point is three times your seated cover count for front-of-house tableware, allowing for items in use, those being cleared, and those in the wash cycle at any given time. For busier or faster-turnover operations, a higher ratio may be more practical — our team can help you work out an appropriate quantity based on your service model.
