Product Description
The Steelite Taste Spice Plate is an 8-inch flat plate from Steelite's Taste collection, supplied in a pack of 24. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic, a dense and robust body commonly specified for commercial catering environments where crockery is in continuous use across multiple services each day.
In practice, this plate works well across a range of front-of-house applications — plated starters, casual dining mains, sandwiches, and shared platters all sit comfortably on the 202mm format. The size is practical without being restrictive, and the clean aesthetic of the Taste range suits both contemporary and more traditional dining settings.
The alumina vitrified construction gives this plate a meaningful advantage in busy service environments. Key operational qualities include:
- Thermal shock resistance, reducing the risk of cracking when moving between temperature extremes
- A strong, durable glaze that resists staining from sauces, oils, and daily dishwasher cycles
- Lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects confidence in the body's durability under regular stacking and handling
- A consistent white finish that holds its appearance over extended commercial use
From a practical standpoint, a pack of 24 is a sensible quantity for a single service section or as a top-up for an existing set. For operations running larger covers or multiple sittings, it is worth considering whether a larger initial quantity would reduce the risk of running short during peak periods.
This plate is well suited to casual dining restaurants, hotel food and beverage operations, bistros, and contract catering sites. Operators with particularly high throughput or aggressive warewashing cycles may want to discuss their specific volumes with us before committing to a quantity.
If you are building out a new crockery range or replacing an existing one and want to talk through quantities or plate formats, we are happy to help you think it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on your cover count and table turn rate. For a section of around 20–30 covers running a single sitting, 24 plates is a workable quantity, but sites doing multiple sittings or running the plate across more than one course should consider buying in larger multiples to account for plates in the wash cycle during service.
- The alumina vitrified ceramic body and durable glaze are specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures and aggressive detergents used in commercial warewashing. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which is a reliable indicator of how the plate performs under repeated daily cycling.
- The Taste range includes a variety of plate sizes and formats beyond this 202mm Spice plate. If you are looking to build a coordinated table setting or need a different diameter for a specific course, we can advise on what is available within the collection to suit your menu requirements.
