Glass Bowls

Glass Bowls are versatile prep and serving essentials for professional kitchens, cafes, hotels and catering operations. This range covers classic Pyrex mixing bowls, chef glass bowls, snack bowls and display dishes in a variety of shapes and capacities. Ideal for weighing, whisking, marinating, portioning and presenting food, glass bowls give clear visibility of ingredients and support accurate preparation. Their non-porous surfaces promote excellent hygiene and are easy to clean between tasks, helping busy Irish kitchens maintain consistent standards and efficient service.

• Hygienic, non-reactive glass that will not absorb flavours or odours, ideal for allergen-sensitive prep.

How to choose the right Glass Bowls

• Match bowl capacity to your menu and volume of prep, from mini mise en place bowls to large mixing bowls for doughs, batters and salads.
• Consider shape and profile: deeper bowls suit whisking and mixing, while lower, wider bowls are better for serving and display.
• Check whether you need oven-safe or heat-resistant glass for baking, bain marie use or oven-to-table service.
• Think about storage space and choose stackable designs if you operate in a compact kitchen, bar or food truck.
• Select multi-pack snack and chef bowls for consistent presentation across starters, sides and desserts in busy dining rooms.
• Review compatibility with your dishwashers and glasswashers to streamline turnaround during peak service.

Care and maintenance

• Wash glass bowls promptly after use, using non-abrasive detergents to maintain clarity and avoid surface scratching.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as moving bowls directly from freezer to high heat, to reduce the risk of cracking.
• Inspect rims and edges regularly for chips or damage and remove any compromised bowls from service for safety.
• Stack carefully, following manufacturer guidance, to prevent chipping and to keep storage areas organised.
• Use suitable utensils, avoiding metal tools that may mark or stress the glass over time.
• Allow bowls to dry fully before stacking to prevent trapped moisture and maintain hygiene standards.
