This is the Medium sized version of the Steelite Plate, which is remarkably robust and very well suited for use in care homes and similar environments, as well as in the home.Its extreme durability makes it suitable for continuous use and it is safe to use in both dishwashers and microwaves. It carries a 5 year guarantee against chipping around the rim of the plate, which is specially shaped to make for easy carrying and handling. Another useful feature is the steeply angled internal rim, which provides a fixed edge that enables users to push food onto their forks or spoons. It is therefore a useful aid to independent, one handed eating. A larger version is also available as a separate item.
