FAQs

What is 18/0 stainless steel?

18/0 stainless steel contains 18% chromium for corrosion resistance and 0% nickel – slightly more cost-effective than 18/8 or 18/10, and excellent for presentation items like dome cloches.

Does this fit a standard 30cm dinner plate?

Yes – the 300mm base diameter is designed to cover standard 28-30cm hotel and restaurant dinner plates.

Is it dishwasher-safe?

Yes – stainless steel is dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing is recommended to preserve the polished finish.

Choosing a plate cover

A 300mm cloche covers standard 260-280mm dinner plates with clearance for plated garnishes. When sizing a cloche, allow at least 15mm of rim clearance so the cover seats on the plate edge rather than on the food. For banqueting, order one cloche per cover plus 10 percent spares – a matched, polished set is part of the visual standard at formal service.

Why 18/0 stainless steel?

18/0 stainless (18 percent chromium, nickel-free) gives the bright polish and corrosion resistance expected front-of-house at a lower cost than 18/10, making it the practical grade for items handled hundreds of times per event. It withstands commercial dishwashing and holds its mirror finish with routine polishing.

Care and cleaning

Dishwasher safe. To prevent water marks on the polished dome, remove promptly after the rinse cycle and buff with a dry microfibre cloth. Store nested with a paper or cloth liner between domes to prevent scratching.
