Attention CA Residents:

Customer questions about this product

What is the best way to care for my melamine item?

In general, melamine is not microwave or oven safe. You can use a commercial dishwasher to clean your melamine items; however, top-rack only is recommended for residential dishwashing units. Avoid cutting directly on your melamine products with a serrated knife to prevent nicks and scratches. For additional guidelines, please refer to the Care and Use sheet included on this page.

These are good and sturdy platters. They are a lot bigger than anticipated, so measure out the dimensions first to make sure you know what you are getting. There is also a lot of non-usable space on the platter due to the angle of the sides. I would not buy them again, they just take up a lot of space for how much you can fit on them.

I can't say enough about the American Metalcraft Platters. The Melamine is an amazing material. We broke classic platter often in the dish room. The team members have no issues with this product. Washes and looks great!

The platters are very sturdy and have a higher heat resistance, but the all white platter stains easily. This platter is good in a pinch, but stains quickly accumulate, making the life of this platter something to be desired.

We love these trays, we bought them with the brown pattern as well. We use these for a wide variety of items such as cheeses, meats, fresh fruit and vegetables, and desserts. The plates clean so easily and stack and store well and are very durable.

A great alternative to heavy and fragile ceramic platters. The look of ceramic but no worry of it breaking. It is a bit deeper than I thought but not a turn off.

These are very attractive and look like heavy ceramic. The lip was not our preferred look so we also got the flat look platters and use both

We were tired of our ceramic platters getting broken with frequent washing, so we've started purchasing these. We love the fact that they're durable, and at a good price point.

Durable serving platter, with clean white look. Our office caterings has this platter/brand in a variety of sizes. This larger platter is great for our continental breakfast displays: pastries and fruit on separate platters. Easy to wash in the dishwasher.

How can you not love American Metalcraft products? These platters are perfect for both being asthetically pleasing, but also light weight for passed appetizers. Our servers really appreciate the light weight factor, and we appreciate the dishwash ability.

We absolutely love these platters for our buffets on the American Metalcraft display tiers. We buy additional melamine plates to use to refil buffets and also to use for passed hors d'oeuvres. Very functional, easy to transport, and looks great! Light and dishwasher safe.

Nice platters. Lightweight, nice looking, good quality. Ample size. very durable. We used them for a family style plated dinner for 200 guests because they were light enough to be passed around - as opposed to real porcelain.
