  • The Workhorse: Its oven-to-table versatility is a massive time-saver in service.
  • The Look: A classic design that might feel too simple for highly stylised eateries.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Queen's Head, a popular village pub in Keswick, Cumbria, needed to upgrade their old, chipped ovenware. They wanted a classic look but needed something that could withstand the rigours of their famously busy Sunday lunch service, going from oven to pass to table hundreds of times a day.

"These Steelite dishes have been absolutely brilliant. They look smart, they hold the heat right to the table, and  we haven't had a single chip or crack since we got them. The kitchen team loves them because they're so easy to handle and  clean, which makes a huge difference on a hectic shift."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

After implementing the Steelite V0146 oven dishes, the pub saw a marked improvement in presentation consistency and  a complete stop to expenditure on replacement crockery, saving them money and  time.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each dish for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give them a good wash in hot, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before first use.
  • Ensure your shelving is clean, dry, and  sturdy enough to support the weight of the full box.

Keeping It Going

  • Although highly durable, avoid using metal scourers which can scratch the glaze over time.
  • Stack carefully, avoiding knocking the rims to maximise their lifespan.
  • For any stubborn baked-on food, a short soak in warm water is usually all that's needed.
  • The glaze is highly stain-resistant, but always rinse off rich sauces like tomato or curry after use.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Oven-to-Tableware

Not sure what fits your menu best? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the right oven-to-table cookware for your business.

Material Matters

Ceramic, like this Steelite dish, offers a classic look and  great heat retention. Cast iron is heavier but holds heat even longer, while stainless steel is lightweight and  modern. Choose based on your menu and  style.

Capacity & Size

Consider what you'll be serving. This 215mm round eared dish is ideal for individual mains or generous sides. For sharing platters or larger bakes, you'll need to look at bigger options.

Versatility is Key

Look for dishes that can go in the oven, microwave, and  freezer. This flexibility saves you time, reduces washing up, and  makes your kitchen operation much smoother.

Aesthetics and  Brand

Does the dish match your restaurant's vibe? A clean white dish is a blank canvas that lets your food shine, fitting in anywhere from a rustic pub to a modern bistro.

Stacking & Storage

Kitchen space is always at a premium. Check if the dishes stack neatly and  securely. Good stackability prevents chipping and  saves you valuable shelf space.

A: Yes. Thanks to their excellent heat and  chill retention, they are great for serving cold desserts straight from the fridge.

A: Yes, the handles are an integral part of the dish's design, providing a sturdy and  secure grip for safe transport from the kitchen.
