Delivery Information

Price Match

The Churchill Black Igneous pie dish is a stoneware serving and baking dish from Churchill's Art de Cuisine range. At 140mm across and holding 400ml, it is sized for individual portions — practical for plated pie dishes, baked desserts, or any preparation where food goes from oven to table in the same vessel. The exposed stoneware base and glazed upper surface are characteristic of the Igneous range, giving a rustic, tactile finish that presents well on a dressed table without requiring transfer to a separate serving dish.

Stoneware of this type is well suited to kitchens that need to move portions efficiently during service. The dish retains heat usefully once out of the oven, which helps maintain food temperature between kitchen pass and table, particularly in busier operations where plating and service do not always happen simultaneously. The unglazed base gives a stable, non-slip quality on prep surfaces and wooden boards.

  • Oven-safe stoneware construction handles both preparation and table service
  • Heat retention helps maintain food temperature from pass to table
  • Glazed interior surface is straightforward to clean and supports hygiene routines
  • Individual portion sizing reduces plating time and improves consistency of serve
  • Robust stoneware body stands up to regular commercial use

Being stoneware, these dishes are heavier than their ceramic or melamine equivalents — each piece weighs 470g — which is worth considering for high-turnover covers where front-of-house staff are handling large numbers of dishes per service. Dishwasher compatibility should be confirmed against your specific machine settings, though stoneware of this type is generally suited to commercial dishwasher cycles.

These dishes are well suited to restaurants, gastropubs, hotel restaurants, and catering operations that serve individually portioned hot dishes and want a consistent, presentable vessel that moves from kitchen to table without fuss. Sold in packs of six, they are practical for building up stock gradually. If your operation runs high cover volumes across multiple sittings, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would be more economical.

If you are specifying tableware across a full menu and want to make sure the Igneous range fits your service style and cover volume, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Are these pie dishes suitable for use in a commercial oven?

Yes, stoneware of this type is designed to go from oven to table, making it practical for operations that want to bake and serve in the same vessel. Always confirm the maximum temperature rating with Churchill's product documentation to ensure compatibility with your specific oven settings.

Can these dishes go through a commercial dishwasher?

Stoneware from the Igneous range is generally suitable for commercial dishwasher use, though we would recommend checking Churchill's care guidance for the specific cycle temperatures and detergents used in your machine. High-alkaline detergents used in some commercial washers can affect glaze over time with repeated use.

How many dishes would a typical restaurant operation need to stock?

That depends on your cover count, the number of sittings per service, and your dishwasher turnaround time. As a working guide, operations running a single sitting tend to hold one dish per cover for each menu line that uses them, with some contingency for breakages. If you are unsure how many packs to order for your setup, we are happy to talk it through.
