Regent Melamine Serving Bowl White (250mm:Dx75mm)

All you need to know about regent melamine serve ware:
Melamine is a hard plastic. More specifically, it's an organic industrial compound created by combining melamine resin with strengthening materials. It is extremely difficult to break which means it can stand up to the rigors of everyday use. It is relatively resistant to scratch marks from forks, knives (not serrated knives), and other utensils, and stays cool to the touch when serving hot foods because the food does not produce enough heat for a long enough period of time to change the temperature of the melamine itself. Because this unique material is lighter and more durable than china, many eateries have turned to melamine to avoid constantly replacing broken dinnerware and serveware. Due to it's durable construction, it has a much lower replacement rate than china. Another benefit is that it makes service less strenuous for staff who need to carry large trays loaded with plates of food.

The FDA's Safety and Risk Assessment of melamine states that this type of plastic tableware is safe for use. The study concludes that the chemicals in melamine will not migrate, or transfer into food product as long your food is not heated to 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70°C).
Although melamine can withstand high temperatures, it should not be heated while in contact with food. For this reason, use in the microwave is not recommended. Unlike glazed dishes, melamine tableware is 100% dishwasher safe. In fact, many lines of melamine serveware can handle heat that exceeds recommended dishwasher water temperatures and thanks to its high heat-retaining properties it dries faster than standard ceramics. Thanks to its durable, light-weight construction, melamine is a popular choice for a variety of commercial settings, like
function halls, day care facilities, and assisted living communities. Because it is such a great insulator, it is an ideal choice for restaurants or hotels.
From bistros to full-service restaurants, you can find melamine serveware that suits the decor of nearly any
foodservice establishment and its durability makes it ideal for use in a variety of outdoor or high-volume settings.
