Product Description
The Steelite Taste Spice Plate is a 152mm (6") white plate from Steelite's Taste collection, supplied in a pack of 36. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic — a denser, harder-wearing body than standard vitrified china — and is designed for everyday use in professional catering environments where crockery takes significant daily handling.
In a busy service setting, the durability of the body material matters as much as the appearance. Alumina vitrified ceramic offers good resistance to thermal shock, which is relevant wherever plates move between ambient storage, heated pass environments, and dishwasher cycles repeatedly throughout the day. The glaze is also resistant to staining, which helps plates retain a clean, presentable appearance over a longer service life.
Operationally, this size works well across a number of common applications:
- Bread, sides, or accompaniments alongside a main plate
- Sharing platters and small casual dining portions
- Breakfast or brunch covers where a secondary plate is needed
- Sandwiches and light lunch service
The pack quantity of 36 is a practical consideration. For most operations, crockery is purchased in full pack quantities to manage cost and stock efficiently, so this should be factored into any order planning. The alumina vitrified construction carries a lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite, which is worth noting when comparing against lower-specification alternatives at a similar price point.
This plate suits casual dining venues, café operations, hotel breakfast service, and contract catering environments. For operations running very high cover volumes where additional durability is a priority, Steelite offers alternative ranges with reinforced rim profiles worth considering.
If you are building out a full table setting or matching pieces across a range, our team is happy to help ensure everything works together correctly before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Alumina vitrified ceramic has a denser, harder body than standard vitrified china, which generally means better resistance to chipping and a longer service life under daily commercial use. It is a common specification choice for operations where crockery goes through multiple dishwasher cycles per day and handles a high level of stacking and general handling.
- This depends on your cover count, table turn frequency, and how your washing cycle is structured. As a rough guide, most operations aim to hold two to three times their peak cover count in crockery to allow for items in use, items in the wash, and a reasonable breakage buffer. If you are unsure how many packs to order, it is worth speaking to us before committing.
- The thermal shock resistance of alumina vitrified ceramic makes it suitable for the temperature variations typical of a commercial pass environment. That said, no crockery should be subjected to sudden, extreme temperature changes — for example, moving directly from cold storage to a very high-heat environment — as this can affect any ceramic body over time.
