International Tableware (ITI) is a reliable and direct source for high quality tableware, but they make more than just tableware. ITI creates a variety of innovative, quality products that help to fulfill the needs of each and every customer, and Burkett Restaurant Equipment is proud to provide you with a full line of ITI products.
One of the most popular of these lines are ITI glasses. These glassware items are attractive and strong, and can stand up to daily use in the busiest of commercial environments or catering events. Whether you’re looking for shot glasses, goblets, rocks glasses, cordials, beer mugs, drinking glasses, or champagne glasses, International Tableware has the glasses that will meet your needs.
Because we know you value your investments, Burkett Restaurant Equipment invites you to consider these tips from ITI that will help to reduce potential damage to your glassware:
- Thermal Shock – Thermal shock can occur when glassware is subjected to a sudden temperature change (either hot or cold) and it can cause enough stress to result in breakage. To avoid possible thermal shock, glassware should always be returned to room temperature before it is used again.
- Mechanical Shock – Breakage or chipping due to mechanical shock is typically the result of sharp contact with another solid object (this can include a countertop, another glass, dinnerware, or flatware). It is not uncommon for mechanical shock to create a minor crack in the glassware. This glass item becomes more susceptible to breakage whenever it encounters mechanical shock, or a thermal shock. The best way to avoid mechanical shock to your ITI glassware is to avoid placing flatware into a glass, and avoid nesting glasses together unless they are specifically made for stacking.
- Breakage – Stacking glasses causes unnecessary stress on these pieces, so don’t stack pieces to avoid breakage, scratches, chips, or cracks. Look into getting a glass rack for extra space and organization if needed.
Keeping these tips in mind can help keep your glassware in good working condition. With proper care and handling, your business can avoid common glassware problems. For more ITI products, head over to the Burkett Restaurant Equipment online store.
