Melamine tableware offers many advantages for restaurants and the catering industry. Here are some of the most commonly mentioned advantages.
Resistant to shocks and breakage: Melamine is a robust material that is resistant to shocks and falls. This means that melamine tableware is less likely to break or crack than glass, porcelain or ceramic tableware.
Lightweight
Melamine is lighter than ceramic or glass, making it easier for serving and transport.
Durability
Melamine is durable and can withstand intensive use, making it an economical choice in the long term as it lasts longer than some other options.
Scratch resistance
Melamine has a hard, and smooth surface that resists scratches, making it ideal for catering environments where tableware may be subjected to heavy use.
Stain resistance
Melamine is relatively resistant to stains caused by coloured food or drink.
Variety of designs and colours
Melamine is available in a wide variety of colours and patterns, allowing restaurants to choose options that match their aesthetic and style.
Ease in use
Melamine is generally easy to clean and can often be washed in the dishwasher, saving time and efforts.
Versatility
Melamine tableware is suitable for a wide variety of cooking styles, from casual to formal. It is used in restaurants, cafeterias, canteens, buffets and many other types of catering establishments.
Food safety
Melamine is approved by health authorities for food contact and is considered safe when used correctly.
Thermal insulation
Melamine has some ability to retain the temperature of food, which can be useful for keeping meals hot or cold for longer.
However, it is important to note that melamine is not suitable for use in microwave or conventional ovens, as it can deform or release harmful substances at high temperatures. It should therefore be used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
