The Churchill Stonecast range is a firm favourite for a reason. This deep skillet pan isn't just a pretty face; its robust construction is immediately obvious.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Pheasant, a gastropub in the Cotswolds, was looking to refresh its tableware to better match its rustic-luxe interior and  farm-to-fork menu. They chose the Churchill Stonecast range, including this 245mm deep skillet pan, to serve their popular oven-baked signature dishes.

"We needed something that looked the part but could survive a Saturday night rush. These pans are brilliant. They go from the oven to the table, look fantastic, and  are tough as old boots. Our customers constantly comment on how lovely the presentation is."

Samuel Jones – Head Chef, The Gilded Pheasant

The switch not only elevated their food presentation but also reduced crockery breakages during service by over 30% in the first six months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, inspect each pan for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Give all pans a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and  shipping.
  • Pre-heat the pans gently before placing them in a very hot oven to reduce the risk of thermal shock.

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or metal utensils, which can damage the unique hand-decorated glaze over time.
  • Stack carefully using felt pads if possible, although the glazed foot helps prevent scratching on the pan below.
  • Allow pans to cool down before placing them in water to prevent cracking from extreme temperature changes.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, and  remove any damaged items from service to maintain safety standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what to look for? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best crockery for your business.

Material Matters

Super Vitrified ceramic, like this Churchill DW398 deep skillet pan, offers the best durability for high-turnover environments, far superior to standard earthenware.

Check for Durability Features

Look for chip-resistant rolled edges and  a glazed foot for stacking. These small details significantly extend the life of your crockery.

Consider Shape and  Size

Does the shape stack efficiently in your space? Is the capacity right for your portion control? A 245mm deep skillet pan is versatile for mains or large sides.

Match Your Brand's Aesthetic

Your crockery is part of your brand story. A rustic finish like Stonecast suits informal, quality-focused dining, while pure white porcelain is more for fine dining.

Think Function First

Ensure your choice is fit for purpose. If you need oven-to-table ware, make sure it is explicitly oven, microwave, and  dishwasher safe for operational efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these pans truly oven-safe for cooking in?

A: Yes, they are designed as an 'oven to tabletop' solution, meaning you can bake dishes like pies or pasta bakes directly in them before serving.

Q: What does 'hand-decorated' mean for the appearance?

A: It means each piece has a unique, hand-applied finish. You can expect subtle, charming variations in the speckle pattern and  colour, which adds to their rustic appeal.

Q: Can the Churchill DW398 deep skillet pan be stacked?

A: Yes, they are designed for professional kitchens and  can be stacked. The fully glazed foot helps to prevent the base from scratching the surface of the pan underneath.

Q: What is the best way to clean them to protect the finish?

A: No, it's a softer, off-white with warm, earthy tones and  a fine speckle, designed to look natural and  rustic.

Q: Is the surface resistant to cutlery marks?

A: The super vitrified body and  specialist glaze offer superior scratch resistance compared to standard crockery, making them very resilient to marks from everyday cutlery use.

More Than Just Crockery: What 'Super Vitrified' Really Means

You see 'Super Vitrified' on lots of professional crockery, but what is it? Think of standard ceramic like a dense sponge. Over time, it can absorb tiny amounts of moisture, oils, and  detergents. This is what leads to weakness, stains, and  potential hygiene issues. Vitrification changes everything. The ceramic is fired at an extremely high temperature until the 'sponge' melts and  fuses together into a single, glass-like, non-porous body. 'Super Vitrified' is Churchill's gold standard of this process. It means this Barley White Stonecast skillet pan is practically immune to moisture absorption, making it far more resistant to chipping, cracking, and  thermal shock. Essentially, it’s a process that builds incredible durability and  hygiene right into the core of the pan.
