Product Description
The Steelite Rio Yellow slimline plate is a 270mm round plate finished with a hand-applied colour wash that gives each piece a slightly individual, informal character. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it sits within Steelite's Rio range, which is designed to bring a relaxed, bistro-style aesthetic to table settings without sacrificing the durability expected in professional foodservice environments.
In day-to-day service, the durable glaze and thermal shock resistance make these plates a practical choice for kitchens where crockery moves quickly between hot pass, table, and commercial dishwasher. The slimline profile keeps the plate from feeling heavy to carry in a stack, which matters when front-of-house staff are moving covers at pace. The pack quantity of 24 suits a modest cover count, though operators running larger services will typically need multiple packs to maintain a working float.
Practical advantages worth noting for operators considering the Rio Yellow:
- Hand-applied colour wash creates an informal, characterful finish suited to bistro or café settings
- Compatible with the broader Rio range, allowing colours to be mixed and matched across a table setting
- Thermal shock resistance supports repeated cycling through commercial dishwashers
- Slimline profile reduces stacking weight and eases handling during busy service
- Lifetime edge chip warranty reflects confidence in the ceramic construction
These plates are well suited to casual dining restaurants, cafés, bistros, and hotel breakfast or brasserie operations where a relaxed table aesthetic is part of the concept. They are less likely to suit highly formal dining settings where a more classic white or premium finish would be expected. For very high-volume operations turning significant covers daily, it is worth considering how many packs will be needed to maintain an adequate working float accounting for washing cycles and inevitable attrition.
If you are putting together a full cover specification or want to discuss how the Rio range fits alongside your existing crockery, the team are happy to help you work through the numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A practical rule of thumb is to hold three times your seated cover count in crockery to allow for items in use, in the wash, and in reserve. For 40 covers, that points to at least five packs of 24, though the right number depends on your washing cycle time and how quickly you turn tables during service.
- Yes — the Rio range is designed so that different colourways can be used together on the same table or across different tables within the same operation. This makes it straightforward to introduce a second colour later or to replace attrition losses with a contrasting shade if the original colour is discontinued.
- The alumina vitrified ceramic construction and thermal shock resistant glaze are designed with commercial kitchen use in mind, including repeated cycling through commercial dishwashers. As with all coloured crockery, abrasive chemicals or very high-alkaline detergents used over time can affect the finish, so it is worth checking detergent compatibility with your dishwasher supplier.
