How to choose the right Porcelain Bowls

• Match bowl size and capacity to your menu items, from small dessert bowls to larger options for soups, salads and pasta.
• Consider the depth and shape of the bowl to control portion size, sauce retention and ease of eating for guests.
• Select colours and designs that complement your existing crockery ranges and overall table presentation.
• Check that the porcelain is commercial grade, chip-resistant and suitable for heavy use in busy service.
• Ensure bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe to fit your kitchen workflow and turnaround times.
• Plan storage and racking so bowls stack safely with your existing plate racks and crockery storage.

Care and maintenance

• Wash porcelain bowls in commercial dishwashers using catering-approved detergents and correct temperature settings.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can dull glazes and reduce the lifespan of your crockery.
• Inspect bowls regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged items to maintain safety and presentation standards.
• Stack bowls carefully to prevent rim damage, using plate racks or separators where possible.
• Allow bowls to cool after microwave or oven use before immersion in cold water to reduce thermal shock.
• Train staff on correct handling, stacking and transport to minimise breakages during busy service.
