Product Description
The Churchill Stonecast Deep Skillet in Peppercorn Grey is a super vitrified ceramic skillet designed to move directly from the oven to the table. Each piece holds 570ml, making it a practical size for individual portions of braises, gratins, baked dishes, and hot starters. The hand-decorated dotted finish and darkened edge detailing give each piece a degree of natural variation, which suits the rustic, comfort-food aesthetic many operators are looking for on their tabletops.
In busy service environments, the ability to cook, hold, and serve in a single vessel is a genuine operational advantage. It reduces the handling time between kitchen and pass, limits the number of pieces in circulation, and keeps food hotter at the point of service. The super vitrified construction is also worth noting — it is more resistant to chipping and cracking than standard ceramic, which matters when pieces are in daily use across a full service calendar.
- Oven-to-table use reduces plate transfers and preserves presentation
- Super vitrified body offers improved resistance to chipping during service
- Hand-decorated finish gives each piece a natural, individual character
- Suitable for baked dishes, gratins, hot starters, and individual portions
- Consistent aesthetic across the Stonecast range supports a cohesive table presentation
The skillets are rated to 180°C, which is sufficient for holding and finishing dishes in the oven, though they are not intended for use on direct heat sources such as hobs or open flames. If your service model involves searing before oven cooking, this is worth factoring into your workflow planning.
This format works well in restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining operations where individual plating with a relaxed, handcrafted feel is part of the concept. Operators running higher-volume canteen or banqueting services may find a simpler, more uniform piece better suited to their throughput requirements.
If you are unsure whether this size and style fits your current menu or table concept, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — the Stonecast deep skillets are rated for oven use up to 180°C but are not suitable for use on hobs, direct flame, or induction surfaces. They are designed for oven finishing, holding, and table service rather than primary cooking from cold.
- Churchill's super vitrified construction is notably more resistant to chipping and cracking than standard ceramic, which makes it a practical choice for hospitality environments where pieces are in constant rotation. That said, as with any ceramic serveware, careful handling during washing and stacking will extend the lifespan of the range.
- At 570ml capacity, the 245mm skillet sits comfortably as an individual main course vessel for dishes like gratins, baked pastas, or braised proteins, as well as a generous starter portion. If your menu leans toward sharing plates or larger individual mains, it is worth considering whether a larger format would serve your concept better — the Stonecast range includes alternative sizes worth exploring.
