    Expert Advice

    Material and Durability: Opt for plates and bowls made from highly durable materials such as melamine, polycarbonate, or stainless steel. These materials are resistant to chipping, cracking, and breaking, ensuring longevity in a high-traffic correctional environment. Avoid glass or ceramic options, as they pose a safety risk due to potential breakage.

    Safety and Security: Look for products specifically designed for correctional use. These items often feature reinforced edges and non-removable utensils, reducing the risk of inmates using them as potential weapons. Additionally, consider stackable designs to save space and prevent accidental injuries.

    Easy Maintenance: Choose plates and bowls that are easy to clean and maintain. Products with a smooth surface are less likely to harbor bacteria and can be cleaned more efficiently. Dishwasher-safe options are also preferred to streamline the cleaning process in a busy correctional kitchen.

    Size and Capacity: Consider the portion sizes served in your correctional facility when selecting plates and bowls. Opt for options with appropriate sizes and capacities to control portion control effectively and minimize food waste.

    Temperature Resistance: Ensure that the selected plates and bowls can withstand a wide range of temperatures, including hot and cold foods. This feature is crucial for maintaining food quality and serving meals at the appropriate temperatures.
