Alumilite porcelain

Porland Storm is made from Alumilite porcelain, developed for intensive use in the professional catering sector. The material combines an aesthetic finish with the durability required for everyday use in restaurants, hotels and at events.

The production process involves firing at two temperatures:

• 1050°C,
• 1350°C.

The high firing temperature helps to achieve a dense porcelain structure and properties suitable for the demanding catering environment.

Heat resistance up to 180°C

Porland Storm porcelain is heat-resistant up to 180°C. This means it can be used to serve hot dishes and in catering processes in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

During use, avoid sudden temperature changes and protect the tableware from heavy impacts, particularly around the rims.

Plates for starters and main courses

The various plate sizes allow the tableware to be tailored to the different courses of the menu. Smaller plates can be used for starters, bread and desserts, whilst larger ones provide sufficient space for presenting main courses.

When choosing a plate, it is worth considering:

• the size of a standard portion,
• the number of ingredients and accompaniments,
• the amount of space required for plating,
• the type and quantity of sauce,
• the nature of the service – banquet or à la carte.
