Embassy Dynasty Plate Deluxe 3-Compartment Stainless Steel Plate

BULLET POINTS

🍽️ Three compartments, one plate – A raised partition splits the plate into one large section and two smaller ones, so sambar stays out of the chutney and bhaji stays off the pav.

📏 Five sizes, 23.5 × 19.5 cm up to 30 × 26 cm – Size 1 for children and light snacks; Size 3 as the everyday all-rounder; Size 5 for hostel mess, canteen and catering use.

✨ Mirror-polished stainless steel – No coating to chip, peel or scratch off into food, unlike melamine and non-stick divided trays.

🇮🇳 Made in India – Manufactured in India by Embassy, a Bengaluru-based steel kitchenware maker.

🧼 Dishwasher safe – Goes straight into a domestic or commercial dishwasher; no hand-washing ritual required after a busy service.

🔁 Built for daily Indian use – Handles turmeric, hot rasam, lemon and tamarind without staining permanently or absorbing odour the way plastic does.

📚 Stacks flat in the cupboard – Nested storage that suits Indian kitchens where plate space is measured in centimetres.

⚖️ Portion control that works for kids – Fixed sections make a balanced plate easier to serve, and easier for a child to finish.

🚫 Not for microwave use – Stainless steel must never go into a microwave oven. It is safe for the dishwasher only.

Hook

You have served the sambar. It reached the chutney within four seconds. The dosa is now sitting in a small brown lake, and the child at the table has announced they are not eating "the wet one." Every Indian household knows this specific defeat — a flat thali where three things that should stay apart refuse to.

The Embassy Dynasty Plate Deluxe is the answer your mess hall and your grandmother's kitchen both arrived at independently: a raised ridge pressed into the steel that gives each thing its own place, on one plate, that you wash once.

What is the Embassy Dynasty Plate Deluxe?

The Embassy Dynasty Plate Deluxe is a mirror-polished stainless steel plate with three compartments — one large section and two smaller ones separated by a raised partition — available in five sizes from 23.5 × 19.5 cm to 30 × 26 cm. It is made in India and designed for meals with a main item and two accompaniments, such as idli with sambar and chutney, or pav bhaji with onion and lemon. It is dishwasher safe and, like all stainless steel, must never be used in a microwave.

The shape is a rounded square rather than a circle, which is why it takes less shelf depth than a round thali of comparable serving area, and why it sits neatly on a canteen tray.

Which size should you buy?

Size 3 (26.5 × 23 cm) is the right choice for most adult households — it holds a full breakfast or a pav bhaji serving without crowding. Choose Size 1 or 2 for children and light snacks, Size 4 for a complete rice or dosa meal, and Size 5 where you are feeding people who eat properly, such as a hostel mess or catering service.

A practical rule: if the plate is going to a child under ten, go one size down from what feels right. If it is going to a mess or a Sunday lunch crowd, go one size up.

Why three compartments actually matter

Separating a wet accompaniment from a dry main is not fussiness — it is the difference between a dosa that stays crisp until the last bite and one that turns soft in the first minute. The Dynasty Plate Deluxe's raised partition keeps sambar, rasam, curd and chutney in their own sections without a katori sliding around the plate.

That has three knock-on effects most people only notice after switching. You wash one plate instead of a plate plus two bowls. Serving is faster, because you are not balancing three vessels per person during a festival lunch. And children who object to food touching will often finish a plate they would otherwise push away.

For pav bhaji specifically, the geometry is exactly right — bhaji in the large section, pav in one small section, chopped onion and a lemon wedge in the other.

Stainless steel that survives an Indian kitchen

Uncoated stainless steel has no surface layer to fail. Melamine and plastic divided plates scratch, stain yellow from turmeric within months, and hold the smell of last week's masala. A steel plate does not.

Practically, this means the plate handles hot rasam poured straight from the pot, tamarind and lemon that would pit aluminium, and repeated commercial dishwashing at temperatures that would craze melamine. The mirror finish will dull if you attack it with steel wool, but ordinary washing keeps it as it came.

One honest caveat: steel conducts heat. Pour very hot sambar in and the rim will get warm. That is physics, not a defect — the same reason a steel tumbler of filter coffee is held by its lip.

Care and cleaning

Wash with warm water, dish liquid and a soft sponge; the plate is dishwasher safe. Dry it immediately rather than letting it air-dry, because hard water in most Indian cities leaves white mineral spots on a mirror finish. For turmeric or masala marks, rub with a cut lemon and a pinch of salt, then rinse — this substantially reduces yellowing. Avoid steel wool and abrasive scourers, which permanently dull the polish.

Never place the plate in a microwave oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Embassy Dynasty Plate Deluxe dishwasher safe? Yes. It goes into a domestic or commercial dishwasher without any special handling. Dry it soon after the cycle ends to avoid hard-water spotting on the mirror finish.

Can I put it in the microwave? No. This is stainless steel, and stainless steel must never go into a microwave oven. Transfer food to a microwave-safe dish first.

How many compartments does it have? Three — one large section and two smaller sections, formed by a raised partition pressed into the steel.

Which size is best for pav bhaji? Size 3 (26.5 × 23 cm) is the usual choice. It fits a full bhaji serving in the large section with pav in one small section and onion with lemon in the other. For a heavier serve or commercial use, go to Size 4 or Size 5.

Where is this plate made? It is made in India. Embassy is a steel kitchenware brand based in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

Will turmeric stain it permanently? No. Turmeric can leave a temporary yellow tinge on steel, which comes off with a cut lemon and a pinch of salt or a mild scouring liquid. Unlike melamine and plastic, it does not stain permanently.

Is this suitable for a hostel mess or canteen? Yes. Size 4 and Size 5 are the sizes most often bought for mess and catering use — they stack flat, take commercial dishwashing, and have no coating that can chip into food.

What is it made of, and what grade of steel? Stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish.
