How to choose the right Earthenware Bowls

• Match bowl size and capacity to your menu, from individual pies and desserts to large mixing tasks and sharing dishes.
• Consider bowl depth and shape for your main use, such as whisking, kneading dough, tossing salads or oven-to-table service.
• Check oven, microwave and dishwasher suitability to ensure the bowls fit your existing kitchen workflow.
• Think about front-of-house presentation, choosing glazes and styles that complement your tableware and brand.
• Assess storage space and how easily the bowls stack in your shelves or on open racks.
• For high-volume sites, prioritise heavier-duty, chip-resistant ranges that withstand constant use.

Care and maintenance

• Allow hot earthenware bowls to cool gradually before washing to reduce the risk of thermal shock and cracking.
• Use non-abrasive detergents and soft cloths or sponges to protect the glazed surface from scratching.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as moving bowls directly from freezer to oven or from oven to cold water.
• Inspect rims and edges regularly for chips and remove damaged items from service for food safety.
• Stack carefully with suitable separators if needed to prevent chipping during storage and transport.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on maximum oven temperatures and dishwasher use for long-lasting performance.
