Meat and three veg, with a side serve of… plastic? Not exactly what you’d call a balanced meal, right? But most of us have been there – juggling family dinners, quick lunches, and whatever’s clean in the cupboard. Somewhere along the line, those bright plastic plates just became part of the routine.
Then one day you look at them – a little scratched, a bit cloudy – and start wondering what they’re really made of.
That’s how many of us found our way to stainless steel. It’s simple, safe, and built to last. No coatings. No colours that fade. No surprises. Just steel doing what it does best.
Why stainless steel just makes sense
There’s a reason stainless steel has been around for generations. It’s used in hospitals, restaurants, and home kitchens everywhere because it’s strong, hygienic and easy to keep clean.
The kind we use, 304 food-grade stainless steel, is the same type trusted for cutlery, saucepans and even lunchboxes. It doesn’t need any coatings or linings to make it safe. It already is.
Smooth, well-finished stainless steel naturally resists bacteria and cleans up beautifully. There’s even research backing that up if you’re curious (you can find one example here). But really, it’s that everyday peace of mind that matters most – knowing what you’re eating from is solid and safe.
The plates we reach for every day
Our stainless steel range came from a simple idea – to make tableware that lasts longer than a trend.
Our 26 cm Stainless Steel Dinner Plate and 20 cm Dinner Plate are the go-tos at our place. Everyday dinners, BBQs, picnics – they handle it all.
For little ones, our Divided Children’s Plate keeps mealtimes neat (and saves a few “don’t let the peas touch the mash” meltdowns). The Koala Plate and Car Plate with Suction make it fun without adding plastic to the mix. And for toddlers finding their way with a spoon, the Round Plate with Suction Base helps keep the food (mostly) on the table.
No coatings. No fillers. Just simple, solid steel you’ll still be using years from now.
And the best bit? You can pop it in the dishwasher, use it outdoors, or hand it to a toddler without worrying about chips or cracks. It’s practical, not precious.
Why families love stainless steel plates
It’s not just about being “low tox.” It’s about ease. About choosing once, and not having to think about it again.
Here’s what we love about them:
- Tough enough to handle daily use (and the occasional drop).
- Quick to clean, no stains or smells.
- Timeless look, so it fits in anywhere.
- Lightweight, for camping or picnics.
- Reusable for life, and recyclable when it’s done.
It’s one of those swaps that just makes sense – practical, safe and genuinely sustainable.
A simple swap that lasts
Switching to stainless steel isn’t about overhauling your whole kitchen in one go. It’s about one simple swap that brings a little less worry, a little more ease.
No peeling, no plastic, no wondering. Just plates that do their job beautifully.
Our Stainless Steel Tableware Collection includes matching bowls, cups and cutlery if you’re ready to make the full switch.
Because sometimes, the best changes aren’t loud. They’re quiet, solid, and made to last... just like stainless steel.
