Whiteware

How to choose the right Whiteware Crockery

• Match plate and bowl sizes to your menu portions so dishes look full without wasting food or table space.
• Consider cup and mug capacities for espresso, cappuccino, lattes and teas to suit your drinks menu.
• Choose oven-safe dishes and roasters if you plan to cook, bake or reheat food and serve straight to the table.
• Check stackability and storage footprint to ensure your shelves, plate racks and dishwashers can handle peak service.
• Select shapes and ranges that complement your existing crockery, cutlery and table presentation style.
• For high-volume sites, prioritise heavy-duty vitrified porcelain that resists chipping and thermal shock.

Care and maintenance

• Wash whiteware crockery promptly after service to prevent staining from coffee, tea, sauces and oils.
• Use commercial dishwasher detergents approved for porcelain and avoid overly harsh or abrasive chemicals.
• Stack plates, bowls and cups carefully, using plate racks where possible to reduce chipping and edge damage.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks by not moving items directly from freezer to oven or from oven to cold water.
• Inspect regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged pieces from service to maintain safety and presentation.
• Periodically use de-staining or soak solutions to keep the glaze bright and maintain a consistent white finish.

Pair your whiteware with complementary plates, bowls, glassware, cutlery and table presentation ranges to complete your front-of-house setup.
