The Brunner Midday Tuscany 12-Piece Melamine Set offers caravan and motorhome owners a practical alternative to ceramic tableware without sacrificing style. This set includes four dinner plates (26cm), four dessert plates (21cm), and four bowls (15cm), providing complete dining solutions for families or couples travelling in campervans, caravans, or staying at campsites. The StoneTouch melamine and mineral composite construction delivers a porcelain-like appearance whilst remaining lightweight and resistant to breakage, perfect for outdoor use and transit.
What makes melamine tableware ideal for caravan dining?
Melamine tableware like the Brunner Midday Tuscany set weighs significantly less than ceramic equivalents, reducing payload concerns in caravans and motorhomes. The break-resistant construction withstands the vibrations and knocks associated with touring, whilst the integrated rubber anti-slip ring on each piece prevents plates sliding off surfaces during travel. The set remains dishwasher safe and freezer compatible, offering the same cleaning convenience as traditional crockery without the fragility.
The Tuscany design brings neutral tones and contemporary styling to your dining setup, complementing modern caravan interiors and outdoor furniture. Each piece features an anti-slip rubber base that reduces noise from vibrating plates and provides stability on uneven awning floors or camper tables. The food-safe, odour-free material maintains hygiene standards across multiple uses, whilst the space-saving stackable design makes storage straightforward in limited cupboard space. The set handles temperature variations beautifully, performing reliably whether you're serving cold salads on hot afternoons or warming bowls for morning porridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is melamine and why is it suitable for camping tableware?
Melamine is a high-quality plastic material specifically designed for outdoor applications. It's resistant to heat and humidity, features a very hard surface, and is impact resistant, making it perfect for camping and caravanning. The material is taste and odourless, food safe, and easy to clean. Melamine tableware is suitable for freezer storage, machine washable, and environmentally friendly due to its durability and long lifespan.
What is StoneTouch melamine and how does it differ from regular melamine?
StoneTouch melamine is a newly developed melamine and mineral mixture with enhanced functional properties. It features a hard, dimensionally stable surface that shines like porcelain and has a genuine porcelain touch. StoneTouch melamine maintains all the practical benefits of regular melamine—it's food safe, hygienic, easy to clean, taste and odour-free, deep freezable, dishwasher safe, and break-resistant—whilst offering a more elegant appearance and long-lasting durability.
Is melamine tableware safe for hot food in caravans?
Melamine tableware is safe for serving hot food up to approximately 70°C. The StoneTouch melamine and mineral composite handles typical camping and caravan meal temperatures without warping or releasing odours. The plates are perfectly suitable for serving freshly cooked meals, hot drinks in bowls, or reheated food transferred from pots and pans. However, it is not suitable for the microwave.
Is melamine tableware safe for food contact?
Yes, melamine tableware is completely food safe. Both regular melamine and StoneTouch melamine are designed specifically for food contact, meeting all safety standards. The material is taste and odour-free, hygienic, and easy to clean, ensuring your meals are served safely whether you're camping, caravanning, or touring in your motorhome.
What does the anti-slip feature do on melamine tableware?
The anti-slip feature consists of a special rubber ring inserted into the bottom of each piece of dishware. This increases stability and prevents the dishware from slipping over the table's edge, particularly helpful when parked on uneven ground or during outdoor dining. The integrated rubber ring provides grip on most caravan and camping surfaces including melamine tables, wooden surfaces, plastic folding tables, and awning flooring. Additionally, it reduces the noise of vibrating plates whilst driving, keeping your caravan or motorhome quieter during travel. The feature works best on clean, dry surfaces rather than wet or greasy tables.
Can melamine tableware be washed in a dishwasher?
Yes, melamine tableware is machine washable and dishwasher safe. Both regular melamine and StoneTouch melamine can withstand repeated dishwasher cycles without warping or losing their finish. The tableware is suitable for compact caravan dishwashers or standard domestic machines at home between trips. Place the plates and bowls on the top rack when using smaller 6-place caravan dishwashers to prevent blocking spray arms. The StoneTouch material withstands repeated washing cycles without fading or losing its porcelain-like finish, whilst hand washing extends the lifespan of the anti-slip rubber base.
Can melamine tableware be used in the freezer?
Yes, melamine tableware is suitable for freezer storage. Both regular melamine and StoneTouch melamine are deep freezable, making them ideal for preparing meals in advance or storing leftovers. The break-resistant properties remain effective even in cold temperatures, so you won't experience cracking or damage from freezer use.
How much weight does melamine tableware save compared to ceramic in a caravan?
A 12-piece melamine set typically weighs between 1.5-2.5kg, whilst an equivalent ceramic or porcelain set weighs 4-6kg. This 2-4kg weight saving helps caravan and motorhome owners stay within payload limits, particularly helpful when travelling with families or carrying additional equipment. The lighter weight also makes retrieving tableware from overhead lockers safer and reduces stress on cupboard fixtures during transit.
How many people does a 12-piece melamine set serve in a caravan?
A 12-piece set comprising 4 dinner plates, 4 dessert plates, and 4 bowls comfortably serves four people for most meals. Families touring in caravans find this configuration suitable for breakfast (bowls for cereal), lunch (dessert plates for sandwiches), and dinner (dinner plates for main courses). Couples or two-person campervan travellers benefit from having spare pieces available whilst others are in the wash, avoiding the need to clean plates immediately after every meal.
