Product Description
The Steelite Simplicity White slimline plate is a 157mm side or starter plate designed for professional foodservice use. Plain white, with a clean profile and no decorative detail, it provides a neutral base that works across a broad range of food presentations and menu styles. This is a practical, workhorse piece of tableware rather than a statement item.
In a busy operation, consistency matters as much as appearance. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction gives these plates good resistance to the mechanical stresses of daily commercial use — stacking, handling, repeated dishwasher cycles, and the occasional knock. The lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite reflects that durability, and the ceramic body holds heat reasonably well, which supports efficient service when plates are pre-warmed.
From a practical standpoint, these plates suit a range of front-of-house settings:
- Suitable for microwave, dishwasher, and freezer use
- Stackable for compact storage in busy plate rooms
- Consistent white glaze across the range supports mixed table settings
- Compatible with standard plate warmers and pass-through heated units
- Pack of 36 suits initial cover counts or topping up existing stock
The 157mm diameter positions these as a side plate, bread plate, or smaller starter plate. They are well suited to hotels, pub restaurants, cafés, and contract catering operations running casual or all-day dining formats. For operations needing a full tableware range, Steelite Simplicity White extends across multiple plate sizes and hollowware, making it straightforward to build a coordinated cover.
If you are specifying tableware for a new opening or a full cover replacement and want to talk through quantities or range options, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A common starting point is three times your seated cover count for a full tableware range, allowing for plates in use, in the wash, and in reserve. For side plates specifically, requirements depend on your menu format — all-day dining and set-menu operations tend to cycle through more covers per service than à la carte. If you are unsure, it is worth discussing your service volumes before committing to a quantity.
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a standard material for commercial tableware precisely because it tolerates frequent high-temperature dishwasher cycles better than standard earthenware or lower-grade ceramics. The Steelite Simplicity White range is designed for this kind of throughput, and the lifetime edge chip warranty reflects confidence in the body durability under regular commercial use.
- The ceramic construction is compatible with standard plate warmers and heated pass units commonly used in commercial kitchens. Pre-warming before service is good practice with any ceramic plate and helps maintain food temperatures on the pass. Always follow the manufacturer's guidance on maximum plate warmer temperatures to avoid thermal shock over time.
