Halcen™ The Starter Table

Two dinner plates (21cm), two bowls (15cm), and two 200ml cups. All six pieces are 304 stainless steel with a brushed satin finish. Everything is double-walled and dishwasher safe.

The plates are 21cm and the bowls are 15cm. Families with young kids use this as their everyday kids' set — durable enough to survive the dishwasher daily, sized right for smaller serves. Both stack flat, which is something families mention a lot when the cupboard finally stops being a source of stress.

Yes — and that's worth being upfront about. Stainless steel picks up light scratches with daily use, particularly from cutlery and the dishwasher. That's the material behaving exactly as it should.

The brushed satin finish is chosen specifically because it wears well. Unlike polished steel, which shows every mark, the brushed surface absorbs scratches into the grain over time. Most families find the set looks better at two years than it did at two weeks — a little more settled, a little more theirs.

This isn't dinnerware that stays perfect in a cabinet. It's dinnerware that goes on the table every day, goes through the dishwasher every night, and accumulates a history with your family along the way. The scratches are part of that.

If you're after something that stays showroom-pristine forever, stainless steel isn't it. If you're after something that lasts decades regardless, it is.

Both the microwave and oven are a NO for our stainless steel dinnerware.

Metal and microwaves don’t mix and our pieces are designed for the table rather than oven use. 

For reheating, a saucepan on the stovetop is your best bet.

Both, though most families buy The Starter Table specifically for their kids and add a larger bundle for the adults at the table. If you're after a full set for four, The Family Table is where most households land.

304 stainless steel throughout — no coatings, no composites. Families switch to this after realising their plastic plates and bowls were degrading in the dishwasher over time. The steel doesn't change what it's made of whether it goes through the dishwasher once or a thousand times.

304 stainless steel is about as low-maintenance as dinnerware gets — which is part of why families switch to it.

Dishwasher safe every time, no exceptions. If you prefer hand washing, warm water and a mild dish soap with a soft cloth is all it needs. Dry it promptly to avoid water spots, though the brushed satin finish is forgiving enough that most families don't bother.

For anything stubborn — the occasional stain or dull patch — a paste of baking soda and water applied with a soft cloth, then rinsed and dried, brings it back. A wipe with a little white vinegar followed by a dry cloth does the same job.

No abrasive scourers, no steel wool. Everything else is fair game. The set is built to be used daily and washed daily — that's the point of it.

30-day beautiful home trial, no questions asked. Most families keep it — but if it's not right, return it within 30 days for a full refund. No forms, no friction.
