Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to replace their existing ovenware, which was constantly chipping and crazing from the intense heat of their ovens. They needed a robust, restaurant ovenproof oval dish that also looked smart for their discerning clientele.
"We moved over to the Steelite Simplicity oval dishes six months ago and the difference is night and day. They hold their heat brilliantly, they still look brand new despite being in and out of the oven and dishwasher constantly, and they just present our food so much better."
Robert Miller – Head Chef
The bistro has seen a significant drop in breakages, resulting in an estimated 25% reduction in their annual crockery replacement budget.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water before the first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transport.
- Upon delivery, carefully inspect each dish for any signs of damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Ensure you have adequate and appropriate shelving space; these are robust dishes and have some weight to them.
Keeping It Going
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive powders, as they can damage the superb glazed finish over time.
- When stacking, avoid sliding dishes over each other; lift and place them to protect the glaze and prevent scratches.
- Although thermally resistant, it's always best practice to let the dish cool down slightly before plunging it into cold water to maximise its long life.
- For tough, baked-on food, simply soak in hot, soapy water before placing in the dishwasher.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'eared' dish mean?
A: The 'ears' refer to the two small handles or lugs on either side of the dish, which make it much easier and safer to carry from a hot oven.
Q: Can these dishes be used under a high-heat salamander grill?
A: Yes, as they are fully oven-safe, they are designed to withstand the high, direct heat of a commercial salamander grill for finishing dishes.
Q: Are these dishes heavy?
A: They have a reassuring weight due to the durable alumina vitrified ceramic construction, which contributes to their strength and heat retention properties.
Q: How many dishes are in a pack?
A: These are sold in a box quantity of 6 dishes, which is ideal for professional kitchens looking for uniformity.
Q: What does 'alumina vitrified' actually mean for a chef?
A: In simple terms, it means it's incredibly strong, non-porous (so it won't stain or absorb flavours), and highly resistant to chipping and temperature changes.
Q: Is the white a bright clinical white or a warmer, creamy white?
A: It's a classic, clean and versatile brilliant white that provides an excellent, neutral canvas for food presentation.
Q: Can the dishes be stacked?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable for efficient storage in a professional kitchen environment.
Q: What's the best way to remove stubborn, burnt-on food?
A: The best method is to soak the dish in warm, soapy water for a short while. The non-porous glazed surface will then release the food easily.

Explore more from SteeliteWhat Makes Alumina Vitrified Ceramic So Tough?
Ever wonder what the secret is behind crockery that refuses to chip? It comes down to two key processes: adding Alumina and vitrification. Think of Alumina as the secret ingredient; it’s an incredibly hard oxide mixed into the clay, acting like steel reinforcement in concrete to give the dish immense structural strength. Then, 'vitrification' means the dish is fired at an extremely high temperature until the clay becomes glass-like and non-porous. This process seals it completely, so it won’t absorb water, flavours, or odours, and makes the glaze bond powerfully to the body. The result is a piece of professional cookware that can handle the heat, the cold, and the knocks of a busy kitchen without showing its age.
