Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Wensleydale Pantry, a popular cafe in Hawes, North Yorkshire, wanted to upgrade their old, chipped ceramic dishes to something more durable and aesthetically pleasing for their famous lunch menu.
"We were constantly replacing our old dishes. These Churchill ones are in a different league – they look fantastic, hold the heat brilliantly, and are tough enough for our relentless pace. Our lasagnes have never looked better!"
Robert Miller – Owner
The switch resulted in a 50% reduction in crockery replacement costs within the first year and a noticeable increase in positive customer comments on presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give all dishes a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Upon unboxing, quickly inspect each dish for any signs of damage during transit.
- Avoid extreme thermal shock; don't take a dish from a deep freezer and place it directly into a very hot oven.
Keeping It Going
- These dishes are fully dishwasher safe for fast, hygienic cleaning.
- Use the clever stackable design to store them securely and minimise space.
- For any stubborn baked-on food, soak briefly and use a non-abrasive pad.
- While incredibly tough, always handle with care and avoid dropping onto hard floors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this dish go directly from the freezer to a hot oven?
A: To ensure a long life for the dish, we recommend avoiding extreme temperature changes. It's best to allow it to thaw slightly first to prevent thermal shock.
Q: What does 'vitrified stoneware' actually mean?
A: It means the dish has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, exceptionally strong, and far more resistant to chipping and stains than standard ceramic.
Q: Is the oatmeal glaze and pattern identical on every dish?
A: The reactive glaze process gives each dish a slightly unique, rustic finish. These minor variations are a desirable part of its artisan charm.
Q: Can I use metal cutlery in this dish without scratching it?
A: The glaze is very durable for general use. However, to keep it looking its best for years, we advise against aggressive cutting with sharp knives directly in the dish.
Q: How many dishes are included in a single purchase?
A: The Churchill Igneous CD135 is supplied in a box of 6 dishes, which is convenient for kitting out your service or topping up your existing stock.
Q: What is the main benefit of the 'ears' on the sides?
A: The two wide ears are designed to provide a much more secure grip, especially when you're handling the hot dish with thick oven gloves, making service safer.
Q: How big is the dish? Is it suitable for a main course?
A: With a 140mm diameter and 400ml capacity, it's the perfect size for a generous individual portion of pie, lasagne, or a hearty shepherd's pie.
Q: Is the bottom of the dish glazed?
A: The base has a dry 'foot' which is unglazed. This is a standard feature of high-quality vitrified tableware that provides stability during the firing process and on tables.

This translates directly into long-term value for your business: fewer chips, fewer cracks, and far fewer replacements. It means you can rely on consistent, beautiful presentation day after day, service after service. This unwavering focus on blending timeless design with industrial-strength durability is why Churchill remains a cornerstone of professional kitchens and dining rooms across the UK and the world.
Explore more from ChurchillWhat Makes Vitrified Stoneware So Tough?
Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? It’s not just a fancy marketing term; it's the secret to this dish's incredible strength. During manufacturing, the stoneware is fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the clay particles to melt and fuse together into a glass-like, non-porous form. Think of it like the difference between a regular brick and a super-dense engineering brick. This process makes the Churchill Igneous CD135 baking dish exceptionally resistant to absorbing water, odours, or flavours, and is the reason it stands up so well to chips, cracks, and the daily grind of a commercial dishwasher.
