How to choose the right Copenhagen Melamine Buffet Dishes

• Measure your buffet counters, chilled wells and display shelves to choose dish and bowl sizes that maximise space without overcrowding.
• Consider depth and capacity based on what you are serving, from shallow platters for pastries to deeper dishes for salads and hot or cold mains.
• Select colours that complement your brand and food style, using neutral tones for classic displays or brighter glazes to highlight signature dishes.
• Match shapes and sizes across the range to create a consistent, modular look that is easy for staff to reset during busy service.
• Think about service style, choosing lighter, easy-to-handle pieces for self-service buffets and larger formats for back-of-house prep and replenishment.
• Check compatibility with existing risers, stands and display units so your new dishes integrate smoothly into current setups.

Care and maintenance

• Wash melamine dishes and bowls with non-abrasive detergents, avoiding scouring pads that can dull the surface over time.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher use and temperature limits to prevent warping or discolouration.
• Avoid using melamine buffetware in ovens, under salamanders or on direct heat sources to maintain structural integrity.
• Inspect regularly for chips, cracks or deep scratches and remove damaged items from service to maintain hygiene and presentation standards.
• Store pieces stacked carefully, using separators where possible to reduce surface wear and make setup quicker.
• Rotate stock in daily use so all dishes experience similar wear, extending the overall life of your buffet collection.
