Reusable Synthetic Slate Hard Plates

Serving a special portion on the classic smooth slate plate would be an ideal option, if it weren't for its drawbacks: they break when dropped, they are expensive, they are heavy, they make it difficult to serve fatty foods such as sauces...

But the ideal option exists. Can you imagine putting your food on a model with the same aesthetics as these plates but turning these disadvantages into advantages? Let us introduce you to the imitation slate trays and plates.

Characteristics of plastic slate plates

We have already given you some clues in the previous paragraph, but now you are going to discover the key characteristics that define these slate effect plates:

• They are reusable: The first thing you need to know about these utensils is that you will be able to use them on more than one occasion. Disposable? Some of them allow up to 125 washing cycles! This has a double advantage: you don't have to buy them all the time and you are giving your business a sustainable touch. Plus, they'rerecyclable!
• Your customers won't know the difference: If they don't touch it, the diners in your bar won't know that their food has arrived on a plastic slate tray, as it will be very realistic. You get the same aesthetics as with the real slate ones, and you give an original touch to your food when others discover the secret.
• They are slate effect... but they are still hard plates! It's one thing that these slate-like plastic trays are lighter (and therefore more comfortable) than their alter ego, but they also stand out for their hardness. This is due to the thermoplastic with which they are made (polystyrene), which is also characterised by guaranteeing maximum hygiene.
• They are economical: You already know that, as they are simulating the slate through plastic, we are talking about much cheaper utensils than those made of the original material. However, Monouso's offers still stand out even if we compare them with other disposable slate trays. Do you want to know why?

Very simple, because we have been working for a decade with a large amount of permanent stock in this sector, which has allowed us to achieve a differential competitiveness in online sales. And if, rather than buying individual models on an occasional basis, you usually buy imitation slate trays in bulk, your pocket will notice it.

Slate plates for the hotel and catering industry

Yes, we know that when you look at the photos you have thought about displaying food for special occasions. Or in other words, you have imagined your catering business.

If you are into events, catering, or simply want to present your restaurant's food in the most elegant way possible, here are some ideas on what to serve on synthetic slate plates:

• Tapas and canapés
• Pintxos
• Meat
• Steaks
• Sausage and cheese
• Hamburgers
• Desserts

Imitation slate trays

Despite this wide range of possibilities, it is not the same to use a synthetic slate plate to serve an individual portion in restaurants as it is to take advantage of imitation slate trays to bring the snacks to the centre of a dining room table.

We are talking about imitation slate display trays for serving appetizers and tasting menus, but as we have just seen, their wide range of possibilities allows you to find the most specific solutions.

For example, buying imitation slate plates for butchers is not the same as buying classic black display trays for bakeries. It is clear to us, and no matter how special your kitchen is, we will adapt to it.

But when we talk about the great variety of possibilities of Monouso, we are referring to much more than just adapting to the different portions.

Design of the imitation slate plates

Sizes, shapes, colours... Although when talking about these imitation slate presentation plates only a very specific model comes to mind, you will discover that you have a lot to choose from:

• Your most gourmet portion has the perfect size for one of our plates. Don't you believe it? Our models offer you more than 5 different sizes. You can find from the smallest to the largest plates, which are more than 30cm long. Don't you see it differently?
• Do you prefer square plates? Or rectangular? Whether it's because your portion requires it, or for purely aesthetic reasons, at Monouso you can choose the display shape that suits you best. Is your challenge to find cheap imitation slate trays that are long? You can also find them here.

You can even choose colours! Yes, we know that, faced with the elegance of this type of plate, you might not consider any other alternative than the elegance of black. But have you taken a look at our models designed in grey? You don't have to choose, both are available in our shop.
