There are many types of tableware to choose from, and finding the right one for your restaurant may not be as easy as it seems: there are several factors to consider. Not only colors and shapes, but above all the material is a key element to consider.
The MPS Stoneware line is ideal for cooking and presenting dishes in an original way, taking advantage of all the features and benefits of stoneware material.
What is stoneware?
Stoneware is a type of non-porous porcelain composition based on clay, fired at a high temperature. It is composed of a mixture of natural materials, not necessarily valuable, and non-white color due to the presence of impurities in the clay used for preparation. This color differentiates it from feldspathic porcelain.
Because of its appearance after firing, it takes its name from its resemblance to the word “stone” in English. Stoneware gives a rustic and natural look, perfect for informal restaurants, but also to create an old-fashioned and familiar atmosphere in the most modern environments.
The colors of the round pan w/ lid of the Stoneware line recall a natural effect
Differences between stoneware, porcelain and earthenware
Among the differences of stoneware compared to porcelain we find the firing temperature, higher for the latter, and the composition of the mixture.
Stoneware is also not to be confused with earthenware, which is similarly derived from clay, but has a much more porous surface and is fired at a lower temperature.
Earthenware is definitely the most casual choice, but if you’re looking for something more durable and classy for your tableware, it is better to consider stoneware and porcelain. Preference also depends on matters of aesthetics and personal taste.
The advantages of stoneware tableware for your restaurant
Similar to porcelain, it has the same advantages, such as being able to be used in the oven and microwave.
