While our Core Collections are centered around high-end porcelain, like the Bauscher Purity collection, other types of dinnerware are also available in our Raleigh storage facility. One of the most popular includes the melamine dinnerware from Dalebrook. Designed for outdoor experiences such as poolside dining, Dalebrook's melamine offerings are elegant and shatter-resistant on a pool deck -- at the same time.
Before we explore the beauty of Dalebrook and the benefits of melamine, though, let's discuss the reasons behind our Core Collections. The BauscherHepp Core Collections were developed to provide easy, immediate access to the important collections and pieces under our umbrella. Designed with foodservice operators in mind, our most popular items are stored in our Raleigh warehouse for immediate shipment -- no lag times, long waits, or supply chain shortages. And melamine is now part of our Core Collections.
The Advantages of Melamine Dinnerware
Melamine dinnerware offers a range of benefits that make it an excellent choice for foodservice operators looking for more durable dinnerware solutions, particularly for outside dining. Melamine boasts exceptional surface benefits, including chip, scratch, and crack-resistant properties. This durability ensures that the dinnerware maintains its appearance and functionality over time, making it a cost-effective option for foodservice operators.
Contrary to some beliefs, melamine is not impacted by higher temperatures. This makes it compatible with commercial warewashing. It can also withstand food and drink temperatures ranging from -4°F to 250°F, making it versatile for various culinary applications. This temperature resistance allows for safe use in different serving scenarios, from cold appetizers to hot main courses.
