Product Description
The Steelite Taste Zest platter is an 8" flatware piece from Steelite's Taste collection, designed for casual dining presentations in commercial food service. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it sits in the mid-weight category of professional crockery — practical for everyday table service without being unnecessarily heavy for front-of-house staff to handle.
In a busy service environment, crockery takes a great deal of punishment — stacking, dishwasher cycling, temperature variation, and the occasional knock during clearing. The alumina vitrified construction gives this platter a denser, tougher body than standard vitrified china, which translates to better resistance against chipping and cracking under daily commercial use. The glaze is formulated to resist staining, which matters when platters are used repeatedly for sauced dishes or deli-style sharing boards.
- Alumina vitrified body offers improved durability over standard vitrified china
- Stain-resistant glaze helps maintain a clean appearance through heavy dishwasher cycles
- Thermal shock resistance supports moving platters between cold prep and hot service environments
- Lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite provides long-term stock replacement confidence
- Pack of 24 gives a practical opening quantity for most casual dining or café operations
This platter is well suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, pub kitchens, and hospitality venues running lighter service volumes. It works well for sandwiches, small sharing plates, and starter or snack presentations. The 202mm diameter is a versatile size — large enough for a generous individual portion or a small shared dish, without dominating a smaller table.
If you're building out a crockery range or replacing existing stock across multiple covers, it's worth considering how this piece sits alongside the rest of the Taste collection. The team is happy to help you work through quantities and mix if you'd like a steer before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most smaller cafés and casual dining operations, 24 pieces gives a workable starting point, allowing for pieces in service, on the pass, and in the wash cycle simultaneously. Higher-volume sites or those running multiple sittings may want to consider ordering two or more packs to avoid bottlenecks during peak service.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic incorporates aluminium oxide into the body, which increases density and strength compared to standard vitrified china. In practice, this means better resistance to chipping from everyday stacking and handling, and a longer usable life in a busy commercial kitchen environment.
- Yes — the combination of alumina vitrified construction and a durable stain-resistant glaze makes this platter appropriate for repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The thermal shock resistance also helps the ware cope with the temperature transitions involved in high-temperature rack washers.
