Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Anchor & Compass, a seaside pub in Whitby, wanted to refresh their tabletop to better reflect the quality of their locally sourced seafood menu. They felt their standard white ramekins looked clinical and cheap, detracting from the presentation of their popular scampi and chips.
"These little green dishes were just what we were looking for. They have that coastal, slightly rustic feel that fits our pub perfectly. They're also incredibly tough – they've been through hundreds of dishwasher cycles and still look brand new. The customers have even commented on how lovely they are."
Michael Edwards – Landlord
The upgrade resulted in a noticeable improvement in food presentation and contributed to a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning the pub's atmosphere and attention to detail.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, check all dishes for any transit damage before use.
- Give the dipping dishes a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher to ensure they are perfectly clean and ready for service.
- As each piece has a unique glaze, it's a nice touch to mix them up when setting tables for a truly rustic look.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent chipping, ensure dishes are not overcrowded in the dishwasher or storage racks.
- Although tough, avoid using metal scourers which can scratch the glaze over time. A standard wash is all that's needed.
- Store in a dedicated, stable rack. The shape allows for neat, secure stacking.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, and remove any damaged items from service to maintain professional standards.

Q: Are these dipping dishes sold individually?
A: They are sold in a box of 12 to ensure you can fully stock your tables with a consistent and professional look.
Q: Is the green colour exactly the same on every dish?
A: Due to the reactive, hand-applied glaze, each piece has subtle, unique variations in its pattern and hue, which adds to its authentic, crafted charm.

A: Yes, these dishes are fully oven-safe, making them suitable for flashing under a grill to warm a sauce, for example.
Q: How well do they stack for storage?
A: They are designed for professional kitchens and stack securely and neatly to save valuable shelf space.

Q: Are the dishes heavy?
A: They have a reassuring, quality weight that feels substantial in the hand, without being overly heavy or cumbersome for staff to carry.
Q: Will strong-coloured spices like turmeric stain the glaze?

Q: Is the base of the dish glazed?
A: No, the foot of the dish is unglazed and polished to prevent scratching other tableware when stacked.
The Steelite Advantage: Craftsmanship Meets Commercial Reality
When you choose Steelite, you're not just buying a dish; you're investing in peace of mind. For decades, Steelite has built its reputation in the world's most demanding kitchens by creating tableware that simply refuses to fail. The Craft range embodies this philosophy perfectly. Beyond its beautiful, rustic appearance lies a core of uncompromising durability. This isn't about surviving a few weeks of service; it's about withstanding the relentless cycle of cooking, serving, and washing, day in and day out, for years. This long-term reliability means lower replacement costs and fewer stock issues, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: your food and your customers. Choosing the Steelite Craft V066 green ceramic dipping dish is a statement that you value quality that lasts, right down to the smallest detail on the table.
Explore more from SteeliteWhat Makes 'Alumina Vitrified' Crockery So Tough?
Ever wondered what the 'vitrified' bit actually means? Think of it like turning pottery into glass. During firing at incredibly high temperatures, the clay body fuses and becomes non-porous. This means it won't absorb water, oils, or food odours, which is why it's so stain-resistant and hygienic. But Steelite goes one step further by adding 'alumina' – an exceptionally hard mineral – into the clay mix. This acts like a hidden reinforcing skeleton inside the dish. The result is a ceramic taster dips dish that has the strength to resist the accidental knocks and chips of a busy commercial kitchen, giving it a much longer life than standard crockery.
