The 165mm round format is a practical size for sides, sharing portions, condiments, or small plated items, and the blue colourway gives operators a straightforward way to introduce a relaxed, coastal aesthetic without committing to a full bespoke tableware programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteelite's alumina vitrified body is produced to withstand the demands of regular commercial service. The material performs well under repeated thermal cycling — moving between dishwasher temperatures and ambient or chilled use — and holds up against the glaze wear and staining that tends to degrade cheaper tableware over time. The stacking profile keeps storage compact on shelves and in transit between kitchen and front of house, which is a practical consideration when counter or shelf space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor operators assessing these trays for day-to-day service, the practical advantages are straightforward:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher, microwave, and freezer compatible — no special handling requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStacking design reduces storage footprint and speeds up mise en place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitrified body resists staining and glaze wear through regular use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in a pack of 12, suited to equipping a section or supplementing an existing set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered by Steelite's Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese trays are well suited to cafés, bistros, casual dining rooms, and hospitality venues where informal presentation is part of the concept. The 165mm size works best as a side or sharing piece rather than a main plate, so operators with larger plating requirements should consider whether a bigger format within the Messina range would better serve the menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are specifying tableware across multiple covers or want to discuss how the Messina range fits alongside your existing crockery, the team is happy to help you work through the options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steelite Performance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58198604448126,"sku":"VV5185","price":122.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/vv5185_npi26-1.jpg?v=1791822555","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/steelite-messina-round-stacking-trays-blue-165mm-12-pack","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
