Master Class

The MasterClass Deep Roaster is a cast aluminium roasting dish designed for straightforward, reliable performance in busy food preparation environments. Cast aluminium differs from standard sheet aluminium in that it is considerably denser and more rigid, giving the dish the structural strength needed to handle large joints and heavy loads without warping over repeated heating cycles.

In a working kitchen, consistent heat distribution matters. Cast aluminium conducts heat evenly across the base and sides, which helps avoid hot spots that can cause uneven cooking or burning at the edges. The extra-deep profile accommodates larger cuts and allows for adequate basting liquids, which is useful during extended roasting periods. The two handles make it manageable to move safely between oven and counter even when the dish is loaded.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Two-layer scratch-resistant non-stick coating supports clean food release and faster turnaround between services
• Abrasion-resistant surface holds up well to regular cleaning without significant coating degradation
• Even heat distribution across the base reduces the risk of uneven browning or scorching
• Rigid cast construction resists warping under sustained oven temperatures
• Two integrated handles allow safe transfer of a fully loaded dish

This dish works well in smaller catering operations, hotel kitchens, event catering, and care home settings where roasting is a regular part of the menu. It is not intended for continuous high-throughput production environments where a heavier-duty gastronorm-compatible roasting tray would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this dish suits your service volumes or oven configuration, the team is happy to talk through the options with you.

This cast aluminium deep roaster from Master Class is a straightforward, practical piece of cookware suited to professional prep kitchens and catering operations that need reliable, consistent roasting results without the weight of traditional cast iron. The aluminium construction keeps the pan light in hand whilst still offering the even heat distribution that aluminium is well regarded for in commercial bakeware.

In a working kitchen environment, even heat spread across the base and sides helps reduce hot spots that can cause uneven cooking — particularly useful when roasting larger joints, whole birds, or batch-preparing root vegetables for service. The two-layer non-stick interior aids food release and makes cleaning down between uses straightforward, which matters when the pan is being turned around quickly during a busy shift.

• Cast aluminium body distributes heat evenly across the base and sides
• Two-layer non-stick interior supports clean food release and easy wiping down
• Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue during busy prep periods
• Deep profile accommodates joints, whole birds, and larger vegetable batches
• Integrated handles allow safe, controlled transfer from oven to worktop

At just over 1.4kg, the pan is notably lighter than comparable cast iron roasters, which is a practical consideration in kitchens where staff are handling multiple trays during service. It is worth noting that cast aluminium, whilst durable for its weight, is not suited to the same level of heavy-handed use as heavier gauge steel or cast iron alternatives. For kitchens running very high volumes or requiring a pan that will be used continuously across multiple services daily, a heavier-duty roaster may be a more appropriate long-term investment.

This roaster is a good fit for small catering operations, pub kitchens, care homes, or prep kitchens producing moderate batch quantities. It is equally well suited to hospitality settings where flexibility and ease of handling are priorities over industrial-grade durability.

If you are unsure whether this size and construction is the right match for your service volumes, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The MasterClass 2.5Ltr Deep Casserole Dish is a cast aluminium cooking pot designed for use across all common heat sources, including induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate. The stainless steel base provides the compatibility with induction hobs while the cast aluminium body distributes heat evenly across the base and sides. It is also oven-safe, making it practical for dishes that move from hob to oven during service.

Cast aluminium strikes a useful balance for catering smallwares — it conducts heat well and responds quickly to temperature changes, which helps with dishes that require careful heat management. Despite the material's performance, the pan remains noticeably lighter than comparable cast iron pieces, which reduces strain during a busy service when staff are moving pots frequently.

• Compatible with induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate hobs
• Oven-safe construction for hob-to-oven cooking workflows
• Lightweight relative to cast iron, reducing handling fatigue during service
• Even heat distribution from cast aluminium body supports consistent cooking
• 2.5Ltr capacity suited to batch cooking of sauces, stews, and braised dishes

At 2.5 litres, this is a relatively modest capacity — well suited to smaller kitchens, table service restaurants preparing dishes to order, or as a supplementary piece alongside larger pots. For kitchens cooking in bulk or holding larger quantities through service, a higher-capacity casserole would be the more practical choice.

If you're unsure whether this size fits your service volumes or workflow, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Masterclass 200mm loose base round sandwich pan is a straightforward carbon steel baking tin designed for producing layered sandwich cakes and sponges in a catering or bakery setting. The loose base allows the baked product to be lifted clear of the tin cleanly, reducing the risk of damage during unmoulding — a practical advantage when presentation matters and throughput is steady.

Carbon steel conducts heat evenly across the base and sides, which supports consistent baking results without hot spots. The shallow profile typical of a sandwich tin means heat reaches the centre of the batter at a similar rate to the edges, helping to produce an even rise and uniform colour — useful when baking multiple layers that need to match.

In day-to-day use, this tin offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Non-stick coating simplifies release and reduces reliance on heavy greasing
• Loose base allows clean, confident unmoulding without tools
• Carbon steel body provides reliable, even heat distribution
• Shallow depth suits classic sandwich cake and sponge formats
• Straightforward construction makes cleaning quick between batches

It is worth being aware that non-stick coatings require some care — metal utensils and abrasive cleaning methods will shorten the life of the surface. Hand washing is advisable to preserve the coating over repeated use. At this size and price point, this tin is best considered a workhorse item for moderate volumes rather than an investment piece for continuous high-output production.

This pan is well suited to small bakeries, hotel kitchens, and catering operations producing cakes in manageable batches. For sites baking at higher volumes or requiring more robust, professional-grade bakeware that can withstand heavier daily use, it is worth exploring heavier-gauge alternatives before committing.

If you are putting together a bakeware kit for a new operation or are unsure whether this size and specification fits your menu, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The MasterClass Smart Ceramic perforated baking tray is a carbon steel tray finished with a double-layer ceramic non-stick coating. The perforated base allows hot air to circulate directly beneath whatever is being baked, which promotes more even browning and a crisper base — particularly useful for bread rolls, pastries, and similar items that benefit from direct heat exposure on the underside.

In a catering environment, the practical advantage of the ceramic coating is straightforward: food releases cleanly without the need for heavy greasing, and the surface is easier to wipe down between uses than uncoated steel. Carbon steel construction gives the tray reasonable rigidity and good heat conductivity without excessive weight, though it is worth noting this is a mid-weight domestic-grade piece rather than heavy-gauge professional bakeware — it is best suited to moderate rather than continuous high-volume output.

• Perforated base promotes air circulation for more even baking results
• Ceramic non-stick coating reduces the need for lining or greasing
• Carbon steel body conducts heat efficiently and cleans back quickly
• Lightweight enough for straightforward handling during busy service
• Practical size for standard catering ovens and combi decks

This tray is well suited to small cafés, hotel breakfast operations, or kitchen sections producing baked goods in moderate batches. It is not designed for continuous heavy-duty rotation in high-volume bakery production, where heavier-gauge professional trays would hold up better over time. If your operation runs trays through the oven repeatedly across long shifts, a more robust option may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this tray suits your output levels or oven setup, the team is happy to point you in the right direction before you order.

The Masterclass 2.5Ltr Casserole Dish is a lidded cast aluminium cooking vessel designed for braising, stewing, and slow-cooked preparations. It follows the traditional casserole format — deep-sided with a close-fitting lid — but uses cast aluminium rather than cast iron, which significantly reduces the overall weight whilst retaining good heat distribution across the base and sides.

In a working kitchen environment, cast aluminium performs reliably for low-to-medium heat cooking. The material conducts heat evenly and holds temperature reasonably well once up to temperature, making it a practical choice for batch-cooked sauces, braised proteins, or vegetable dishes prepared ahead of service. At this capacity, it is best suited to small-batch work rather than high-volume production runs.

The double-layer non-stick interior coating aids both food release and cleaning, which matters during a busy turnaround between services. Key practical points worth noting:

• Lightweight aluminium construction reduces fatigue compared to cast iron equivalents
• Non-stick interior coating supports easy cleaning and reduces food adhesion
• Fitted lid retains heat and moisture during slow cooking or holding
• Suitable for use on most hob types — confirm induction compatibility before purchase
• Finished in a metallic blue exterior, which lends itself to table or counter presentation

This dish is well suited to small kitchens, prep areas, or operations that need a compact, easy-to-handle casserole for individual or small-portion cooking. It is not designed for high-throughput volume production, and operators with significant daily output across multiple portions would be better served by a larger or heavier-duty option from the range.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your service requirements, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The MasterClass Smart Ceramic 2lb loaf tin is a carbon steel baking tin finished with a double ceramic non-stick coating. It is designed for producing standard 2lb loaves, pound cakes, terrines, and similar baked goods in a commercial or high-volume catering context.

The ceramic coating provides reliable food release without the need for excessive greasing, which helps reduce prep time and wastage during busy service periods. The carbon steel construction conducts heat evenly, supporting consistent bake results across batches. At 375g, the tin is lightweight enough for quick handling without compromising rigidity during use.

• Double ceramic coating supports clean food release and easy washing
• Even heat distribution from carbon steel helps reduce over- or under-baking
• Lightweight build suited to high-turnover baking environments
• Hard-wearing coating designed to withstand repeated daily use

This tin is sized for a standard 2lb loaf. It is worth confirming it fits your oven shelf configuration before ordering, particularly in deck ovens or combination ovens with specific tray runner spacings. It is not intended for heavy-duty continuous production at scale — for high-volume output, a heavier-gauge professional baking tin may be more appropriate.

Well suited to small hotels, café kitchens, bed and breakfast operations, and catering teams that bake in modest quantities. It is a practical, no-fuss tin for kitchens that need reliable everyday performance rather than a specialist production tool.

If you are equipping a kitchen and are unsure whether this fits your baking output or oven setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

A cast iron grill press is a straightforward tool that does a specific job well: it applies direct, even weight to meat or other foods on a grill or flat top, improving contact with the cooking surface and reducing the tendency for portions to curl or cook unevenly. This MasterClass press is made from solid cast iron, which holds heat effectively once brought up to temperature and transfers that warmth evenly across whatever is being pressed.

In a busy kitchen environment, grill presses are most commonly used on burgers, steaks, bacon, and pressed sandwiches. The additional surface contact they provide speeds up cooking and helps achieve a consistent sear, which is particularly useful during a heavy service when throughput matters. The wooden handle is designed to remain cool during use, reducing the risk of burns when moving the press between portions.

• Cast iron construction holds and distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface
• Reduces curling in bacon, burgers, and thin cuts during service
• Wooden handle stays cool, allowing safe handling without separate protection
• Compatible with grills, flat tops, stovetops, and outdoor BBQ equipment
• Straightforward to season and maintain with basic care

Cast iron does require a degree of care. The press should be seasoned before first use and periodically thereafter to maintain the surface and prevent rust. It should be hand-washed rather than put through a dishwasher, and the wooden handle should not be soaked in water. For a kitchen running high volumes across multiple grill positions, it is worth considering whether a heavier or larger press might better match the workload.

This press is well suited to smaller operations, pop-ups, street food traders, and any kitchen where occasional pressed cookery is part of the menu. If you are unsure whether this size is appropriate for your service style, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Masterclass 300mm spring form round cake tin is a practical, no-fuss baking tin built for consistent results in professional and high-volume catering environments. The spring form construction allows the side wall to be released cleanly away from the baked cake, which is particularly useful when working with layered gateaux, cheesecakes, or any preparation where preserving the sides of the finished product matters.

The tin is constructed from steel and carries a double non-stick coating across both the base and the walls. In a working kitchen this means less time spent coaxing cakes free and less risk of breakage at the point of unmoulding — both of which matter when you are turning out multiple bakes in a single service. The loose base supports clean removal without the need to invert the tin, which helps maintain the presentation of delicate bakes.

From a practical standpoint, the double coating also makes cleaning more straightforward between uses. Steel construction at this gauge holds its shape through repeated oven cycles without warping, which keeps the bake even and reduces waste over time.

• Spring form release protects finished cake presentation during unmoulding
• Double non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning
• Loose base supports clean removal of fragile or layered bakes
• Steel construction resists warping through repeated oven use

This tin is well suited to bakeries, hotel kitchens, restaurant pastry sections, and contract caterers producing cakes and cold-set desserts on a regular basis. For operations producing at very high volume or requiring a larger diameter, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge alternative would better match the workload.

If you are unsure whether this tin suits your output volume or baking programme, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Masterclass Crusty Bake Quiche Tin is a 300mm carbon steel baking tin designed for producing quiches, tarts, and open pastry dishes in a commercial or high-volume catering environment. The perforated base and sides allow air and moisture to circulate around the pastry during baking, which helps achieve a consistently crisp, evenly cooked base rather than a soft or underdone result.

In a busy kitchen, consistency matters more than occasional perfection. The carbon steel construction conducts heat evenly across the base, reducing the risk of hot spots that can scorch one area while leaving another underbaked. Recovery between batches is reliable, making this tin a practical choice where multiple quiches are produced across a service or prep session.

The practical advantages of this tin centre on three things:

• Perforated design promotes air circulation for a crisper, more even pastry base
• Loose base makes clean removal straightforward without damaging the finished bake
• Quantum non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning between uses
• Carbon steel body distributes heat evenly for consistent results across batches
• Robust construction handles repeated daily use in a professional kitchen setting

At 300mm in diameter, this tin produces a generous quiche suitable for portioning across a lunch or buffet service. It is worth confirming that your oven shelves and trays will accommodate this diameter comfortably, particularly in smaller deck or combination ovens where usable shelf width can vary. The tin is not suited to induction use and should be kept away from abrasive cleaning tools that can degrade the non-stick surface over time.

This tin is well suited to cafés, bistros, hotel kitchens, and contract caterers producing quiche or tart-based dishes as a regular menu item. For operations producing very high volumes or running continuous batch baking, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge professional bakeware range might offer greater longevity under sustained use.

If you are building out a bakeware setup and want to talk through what will work best for your kitchen, we are happy to help.

The Masterclass 250mm springform cake tin is a straightforward, reliable baking tin designed for producing round cakes, cheesecakes, and sponge-based desserts in a commercial or high-volume catering environment. The springform clip mechanism releases the side wall cleanly from the base once baking is complete, allowing delicate desserts to be turned out without the force or handling that can cause them to crack or collapse.

Made from carbon steel, the tin distributes oven heat evenly across the base and sides, which helps avoid hot spots and promotes consistent baking from edge to centre. This is particularly useful when producing multiple identical desserts for a menu where presentation consistency matters. The non-stick coating reduces the likelihood of cakes sticking during release and makes cleaning between uses quicker and more straightforward.

In practical terms, this tin suits operations where desserts are prepared in advance and portioned to order — restaurants running a set dessert menu, hotel banqueting operations, and catering teams producing ahead of a service period. A few points worth noting:

• Non-stick coating requires careful handling — avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning
• Suited to oven use; not appropriate for direct heat or induction
• Carbon steel construction means the tin should be dried thoroughly after washing to prevent rust at exposed edges
• The 250mm diameter suits individual large desserts or cakes portioned for six to ten covers

For operations producing very high volumes of identical desserts, or where tins are used continuously across long service periods, a heavier-gauge alternative may offer better longevity. If you're unsure whether this size fits your portion requirements or menu format, we're happy to talk it through.

This MasterClass folding rack serves a dual purpose — functioning as both a roasting rack and a cooling tray. Constructed from carbon steel with a scratch-resistant ceramic non-stick coating, it is a straightforward, practical addition to a bakery or pastry section's smallwares kit.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the non-stick ceramic surface helps prevent baked goods from sticking during cooling and makes the rack reasonably quick to clean between uses. The folding design means it can be stored flat when not in use, which is a genuine practical advantage in kitchens where storage space is tight. At 430g, it is light enough to handle easily and move around the bench without difficulty.

• Non-stick ceramic coating reduces sticking and speeds up cleaning
• Folds flat for compact storage in limited bench or cupboard space
• Carbon steel construction provides a stable, durable baking surface
• Suitable for use as both a roasting rack and a cooling tray
• Lightweight build makes it easy to handle during busy service

There are no gas, water, or electrical requirements. This is a purely manual piece of kit. It is worth noting that, as a domestic-leaning smallware, it is better suited to lower-volume pastry or bakery work, prep kitchens, or as a supplementary rack in a larger baking operation. Operations running high volumes of baked goods daily would likely benefit from heavier-gauge professional baking equipment alongside this.

This rack is well suited to small cafés, hotel breakfast operations, or bakery prep areas where a compact, easy-to-store cooling rack is needed for light to moderate daily use. It is part of the MasterClass Smart Ceramic range, which means it is designed to work alongside compatible bakeware in that collection.

If you are building out a pastry or baking section and are unsure whether this fits your volume requirements, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.

This MasterClass double oven glove is a straightforward, practical piece of hand protection designed for handling hot cookware, trays, and equipment in busy kitchen environments. The seamless silicone construction covers the palm and finger areas, providing grip and resistance to both dry heat and wet steam — the combination most likely to cause burns when moving items between oven, hob, or hot hold.

The silicone section offers a reliable non-slip hold on wet or greasy surfaces, which is a genuine operational consideration when removing heavy trays or pots at speed during service. The extended cotton cuffs provide additional wrist coverage, reducing the gap between glove and sleeve that often leads to steam burns. The glove is suitable for use with conventional ovens, combination ovens, and grills, and is also used for barbecue and outdoor cooking applications.

• Seamless silicone palm and fingers resist heat and steam without seam failure points
• Non-slip grip reduces risk of dropping hot or wet items during service
• Extra-long cuffs offer wrist and lower arm protection
• Fully water-resistant — safe when handling steam-exposed cookware
• Single piece covers both hands, reducing the need to swap between individual mitts

For lighter-duty or occasional use this glove is a practical choice. Kitchens with very high oven throughput or those regularly handling very heavy or large gastronorm pans may want to consider a more structured, reinforced alternative that offers greater rigidity and arm coverage.

If you're unsure whether this level of hand protection is appropriate for your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through.

This 150mm springform cake tin from Masterclass is a straightforward baking tool designed for producing individual or small-portion cakes, cheesecakes, and tortes. The springform clip mechanism releases the side wall cleanly once baking is complete, allowing the base to separate from the tin without needing to invert the cake — a practical advantage when working with delicate set fillings or layered desserts that would not survive being turned out.

The tin is constructed from carbon steel, which conducts heat efficiently and helps promote even baking across the base and sides. This reduces the risk of undercooked centres or over-darkened edges, which matters when you are producing consistent portions across a service. The non-stick coating assists with clean release and makes cleaning between uses quicker than uncoated alternatives.

At 150mm diameter, this is a compact tin suited to individual dessert portions or small-format cakes — useful where plated dessert presentation is a priority, or where a kitchen needs to produce multiple small cakes rather than a single large one. It is not intended for high-volume batch baking operations, where heavier commercial-grade bakeware with greater durability under repeated use would be more appropriate.

• Springform mechanism allows clean release without inverting the tin
• Carbon steel construction supports even heat distribution
• Non-stick coating speeds up cleaning between uses
• Compact 150mm format suits individual or small-portion desserts

If you are unsure whether this size suits your menu format or service volumes, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Masterclass 260mm square baking tray is a straightforward, everyday piece of bakeware built from steel with a double-layer non-stick coating. It is designed to handle the routine demands of commercial baking — cookies, biscuits, traybakes, and general roasting — where a reliable, easy-release surface matters more than complexity.

In a working kitchen, the value of a good non-stick tray is largely in the consistency it provides. Food releases cleanly without the need for excessive lining or greasing, which keeps prep time down and helps maintain portion presentation through a busy service. The steel construction gives the tray enough rigidity to resist warping under oven heat, which is a common failure point with lighter domestic-grade alternatives.

• Double-layer non-stick coating supports clean food release and easier cleaning
• Steel build resists warping under sustained oven use
• Suited to biscuits, cookies, traybakes, and light roasting
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
• Part of an established bakeware range with a consistent finish across pieces

At 260mm square, this tray is best suited to smaller-scale baking operations — a café, hotel breakfast kitchen, or a catering kitchen producing moderate pastry or biscuit volumes. It is not intended for high-throughput production environments where larger sheet pans or dedicated baking equipment would be more appropriate. For sites producing in significant volume, a heavier-duty or larger-format option is likely to be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this size and construction suit your kitchen's output, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

This square cake pan from Masterclass is a straightforward, practical baking tin designed for producing uniform square cakes and traybakes. The loose base allows finished bakes to be removed cleanly without having to invert the tin or risk damaging the edges — a practical detail that matters when presentation counts.

The pan is constructed from steel and carries a double non-stick coating on both the interior and exterior surfaces. That coating does the work of preventing batter from bonding to the sides and base during baking, and makes post-service cleaning considerably quicker. The steel construction promotes even heat distribution across the base, which helps avoid hot spots and uneven rises — a common frustration with lighter-gauge tins.

• Loose base allows clean, damage-free removal of baked goods
• Double non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning
• Even heat distribution helps produce consistent results
• Dishwasher safe, supporting faster turnaround between bakes
• Robust steel build holds its shape through repeated use

This is a compact tin best suited to cafés, small restaurants, or hospitality operations that bake in moderate volumes — for example, producing daily cake slices for a counter display. It is not intended for high-throughput production environments where multiple large-batch tins are cycled through an oven continuously. For operations with greater volume demands, a heavier-gauge professional bakeware range would be worth considering.

If you are building out a baking setup and want to talk through what tins and trays will suit your output, the team is happy to help you choose sensibly.

This MasterClass lidded casserole is cast from aluminium and finished in a metallic blue exterior with a double-layer non-stick interior coating. At 5 litres, it sits in a practical mid-range capacity that suits batch cooking, braising, and sauce preparation across a variety of kitchen settings.

Cast aluminium conducts heat evenly across the base and sides, which helps reduce hot spots and supports more consistent results during longer cook times. Despite offering similar heat distribution characteristics to cast iron cookware, the aluminium construction keeps the overall weight down considerably — a practical consideration when kitchen staff are handling multiple vessels during a busy service.

The non-stick interior coating aids food release and simplifies cleaning between service periods, which matters when turnaround time is tight. The fitted lid helps retain moisture and heat during cooking and resting.

• Even heat distribution across base and sides reduces risk of scorching
• Lightweight construction compared to cast iron alternatives
• Non-stick lining speeds up cleaning and reduces food waste
• Fitted lid supports moisture retention during braising or resting

It is not intended for high-volume production environments where larger, heavier-duty cookware would be more appropriate. For sites with greater throughput requirements, larger capacity options are available within the range.

If you are putting together cookware for a new kitchen or replacing existing stock and want to make sure the sizing works for your menu, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Masterclass Electronic Gas Lighter is a compact, push-button ignition tool designed for lighting gas hobs, burners, barbecues and similar gas appliances. It produces an adjustable butane flame and is a practical handheld tool to keep close to any gas cooking station.

In a commercial or hospitality setting, it serves as a reliable backup ignition source when piezo starters on hobs or ranges fail — a common enough occurrence in busy kitchens. It is also commonly used for lighting charcoal grills, outdoor barbecue stations and gas-fired appliances that lack built-in ignition. The adjustable flame makes it a reasonable choice for precision tasks such as finishing dishes where a brief, controlled flame is needed.

• Adjustable flame for controlled ignition
• Lightweight plastic construction, easy to store near the station
• Suitable for gas hobs, BBQs, burners and similar appliances
• Push-button electronic ignition — no separate striker required

Being a butane-fuelled lighter, it will require refilling under regular use. It is worth keeping a refill canister to hand if this is being used frequently during service. As a plastic-bodied tool weighing 90g, it is a lightweight addition to a kitchen's smallwares rather than a heavy-duty piece of equipment.

This lighter suits catering teams, outdoor hospitality operators and kitchen staff who need a dependable, easy-to-use ignition tool as part of their everyday kit. If you have any questions about suitability for your setup, our team is happy to help.

The MasterClass 4Ltr lidded casserole is a cast aluminium cooking vessel designed for stovetop and oven use in professional and semi-professional kitchens. The cast aluminium construction gives it the even heat distribution associated with cast iron cookware, while keeping the overall weight considerably lower — a practical consideration when dishes are being moved frequently during service.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the even base conductivity helps prevent hotspots, which is particularly useful for slow-cooked dishes, stocks, and braises that require consistent, controlled heat over extended periods. The aluminium body heats and responds to temperature changes more quickly than cast iron, which can work in favour of kitchens that need to turn over dishes at pace rather than hold long, low cooks.

The double-layer scratch-resistant non-stick inner coating supports clean food release and simplifies washing between services — a straightforward practical benefit in any busy kitchen. The metallic blue exterior finish is hard-wearing and resists the kind of surface wear that plain finishes tend to show over time.

• Lightweight cast aluminium body — noticeably easier to handle than cast iron equivalents
• Even heat distribution reduces risk of hotspots during slow cooking
• Non-stick interior aids food release and speeds up cleaning
• Tight-fitting lid helps retain moisture during braising or holding

This casserole is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, bistros, and catering operations where versatility and ease of handling matter. It is not intended for high-volume production environments where a full-sized commercial braising pan or tilting skillet would be more appropriate. Aluminium cookware is also not compatible with induction hobs unless a suitable induction plate is used.

If you are building out a cookware range or unsure which capacity or type of vessel suits your menu and service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The MasterClass Crusty Bake is a carbon steel baking tray with a perforated base and non-stick coating, designed to promote even airflow around food during baking. It is a straightforward, practical piece of bakeware suited to kitchens producing biscuits, cookies, pastries, breads, or roasted and oven-cooked foods where a crisp base finish is important.

The perforated base is the defining feature here. By allowing hot air to circulate underneath food rather than trapping moisture at the base, the tray helps achieve a more even bake and reduces the likelihood of soft or undercooked bases — a common issue with solid-base trays, particularly for items like choux, biscuits, and breaded products. The non-stick surface makes it easier to release baked goods cleanly and simplifies washing up between batches.

From a practical standpoint, the carbon steel construction means the tray can move between fridge or freezer storage and a hot oven without requiring a transfer to a different vessel — useful where prep is done in advance and trays are loaded cold. It is also dishwasher safe, which helps with turnaround in busy prep areas.

• Perforated base promotes airflow for more consistent, crisped results
• Non-stick coating aids clean food release and reduces residue build-up
• Carbon steel construction handles temperature transitions without warping
• Suitable for fridge and freezer storage through to oven use
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning between service

This tray is best suited to smaller operations, café kitchens, and bakery sections where baking volumes are moderate and bench space is at a premium. For kitchens running continuous high-volume bake cycles, heavier-gauge professional baking trays designed for intensive use may be a more durable long-term choice.

If you are putting together a bakeware setup and want a steer on what will hold up best in your kitchen, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Masterclass 4Ltr Shallow Casserole is a lidded cast aluminium dish designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. It functions in the same way as traditional cast iron cookware — retaining and distributing heat evenly — but at a fraction of the weight, making it easier to handle during busy service periods.

Cast aluminium conducts heat well across the base, which supports consistent cooking results whether the dish is used on a hob or in an oven. The shallow profile suits braised dishes, roasted vegetables, and service-ready preparations where presentation matters as much as cooking performance. The included lid helps retain moisture and temperature when holding food prior to service.

For day-to-day kitchen use, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Double-layer scratch-resistant non-stick interior aids food release and simplifies cleaning
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue compared with cast iron alternatives
• Even heat distribution supports consistent cooking results across the base
• Lidded design helps retain heat and moisture during holding
• Robust aluminium build suitable for regular commercial use

At 1.7kg, this dish is noticeably lighter than comparable cast iron pieces, which is a practical consideration in kitchens where staff are handling multiple dishes across a shift. The non-stick surface requires standard care — avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning materials to maintain performance over time.

This size is well suited to small-batch cooking, individual service portions at scale, or table-to-kitchen preparation in restaurants, cafés, and similar settings. For higher-volume operations requiring larger batch sizes, a bigger capacity option may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this dish suits your menu or service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Master Class Crusty Bake pan is a 12-hole shallow baking tray made from carbon steel with a non-stick coating. Each individual cavity has a perforated base, allowing hot air to circulate directly beneath the food during baking. The result is a crisper, more evenly cooked base without the need for pre-heating the tray or applying additional fat.

In practice, this type of pan performs well for high-turnover pastry and canapé production where consistency across a full tray matters. The perforated bases reduce the risk of soggy bottoms on items like tartlet cases, mini quiches, and Yorkshire puddings — a common frustration with solid-based tins when oven circulation is uneven. The carbon steel construction conducts heat efficiently and the pan responds quickly to temperature changes, which is useful when cycling multiple batches through a busy oven.

From an operational standpoint, the non-stick surface keeps release clean and straightforward, reducing handling time between batches. Key practical points include:

• Perforated bases promote direct airflow for crispier results without extra fat
• Non-stick coating simplifies release and reduces washing-up time
• Carbon steel body conducts heat evenly across all 12 cavities
• Lightweight enough for comfortable single-handed oven handling
• Suitable for use in standard convection and combination ovens

This pan is worth considering for light commercial use — small catering operations, hospitality kitchens producing canapé runs, or bakery prep environments. It is not a heavy-gauge professional baking sheet and is best suited to moderate rather than continuous high-volume production. For operations baking several hundred units per service, a heavier-duty gastronorm-compatible tray system may be a more practical long-term choice.

If you are unsure whether this pan suits your production volumes or oven setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

This two-piece set from MasterClass comprises a pair of stainless steel tongs and a matching turner, both sized for confident handling at a grill or barbecue station. The tools are long enough to keep hands clear of heat, with matte black handles that are designed to remain comfortable to hold during extended cooking sessions.

In a catering environment — outdoor events, hospitality functions, or a kitchen running a grill section — having tools that give a secure grip and reliable control over food movement makes a practical difference. The stainless steel construction is straightforward to wipe down and resists the residue that comes with regular grilling use.

• Stainless steel build suited to repeated use in a commercial or event catering context
• Heat-resistant handles reduce fatigue and improve control during busy service
• Long reach keeps hands away from direct heat at the grill
• Matching turner provides a consistent grip whether flipping burgers or handling more delicate items
• Backed by a five-year warranty, which reflects well on build quality at this price point

These tools are best suited to smaller catering operations, event and outdoor hospitality, or as part of a broader station kit where a reliable everyday set is needed. For high-throughput professional grill stations running continuous service, heavier-duty professional-grade implements may be worth considering alongside this set.

If you are putting together a grill station kit and want a steer on what else to consider, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Masterclass 200mm spring form cake tin is a straightforward, well-made baking tin designed for consistent results in commercial and professional baking environments. The spring form construction allows the side wall to be released cleanly once baking is complete, separating it from the base without pressing or levering against the cake — which is particularly useful for delicate sponges, cheesecakes, and layered cakes where presentation matters.

The double non-stick coating reduces the risk of cakes adhering to the tin during cooling or release, and the loose base allows the finished product to be lifted clear cleanly. In a busy kitchen where tins are being turned around regularly, this combination helps keep wastage low and presentation consistent across batches.

The steel construction gives it a reasonable level of durability for day-to-day use. Key practical advantages include:

• Clean cake release without damage to the sides or base
• Double non-stick surface reduces the need for heavy greasing
• Spring form clip mechanism allows quick, straightforward demoulding
• Steel construction handles repeated oven cycles without warping under normal use
• Smooth non-stick surface makes cleaning between batches quicker

This is a 200mm format, which suits standard individual or small celebration cakes. It is worth confirming this size aligns with your recipe yields and portion requirements before ordering — kitchens producing larger celebration cakes or high-volume daily output may benefit from a larger format or heavier-gauge option.

Best suited to smaller catering operations, hotel patisserie sections, café kitchens, or hospitality businesses producing cakes on a regular but moderate basis. It is not intended for continuous high-throughput industrial baking, where a more robust commercial-grade tin would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this size or specification fits your baking programme, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The MasterClass Crusty Bake baguette tray is a carbon steel baking tray designed to hold baguettes in shape during baking and provide even heat distribution across the bread. The perforated base allows air to circulate around the loaves as they bake, which helps develop a consistent crust without the soft underside that can result from baking on a solid sheet.

In a café or light catering setting where baguettes are baked or finished from part-baked daily, this tray offers a reliable and repeatable result. The shaped channels keep loaves uniform, which matters when presentation is consistent across a service. It handles both proving and baking stages without issue, and the non-stick surface releases bread cleanly without tearing the crust.

• Perforated base promotes even airflow for consistent crust development
• Shaped channels maintain traditional baguette form during baking
• Non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning
• Carbon steel construction withstands regular oven use
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning

It is worth being clear about suitability: this is a light-duty tray appropriate for lower-volume operations such as cafés, sandwich bars, or small bakeries producing a modest number of baguettes per day. For higher-output environments where trays are cycled repeatedly through a deck or rack oven over a full service, a heavier-gauge professional baking tray would be the more practical choice.

If you are unsure whether this tray is the right fit for your baking setup or service volume, the team is happy to point you in the right direction before you order.

The MasterClass Grey Ombre casserole dish is a 4-litre cast aluminium cooking vessel with a fitted lid, designed for use across hob, induction, and oven cooking methods. The cast aluminium construction distributes heat evenly across the base and sides, which helps reduce hot spots and supports consistent results when cooking stews, braises, curries, and similar dishes.

In a working kitchen environment, the practical advantage of cast aluminium over traditional cast iron is the reduction in weight, making it easier to handle during busy service periods, particularly when moving between hob and oven. The double-layer non-stick interior supports straightforward food release and simplifies cleaning between covers. Induction compatibility makes it a flexible option where multiple hob types are in use.

• Even heat distribution reduces hot spots during slow cooking
• Lightweight relative to cast iron, reducing handling strain in service
• Non-stick interior simplifies cleaning and reduces food waste
• Suitable for hob, induction, and oven use without switching vessels
• Fitted lid helps retain moisture during slow-cooked dishes

This is a smallwares item rather than heavy-duty catering equipment, and it is worth considering that at 4 litres it is best suited to smaller batch cooking, staff feeding, or table service operations rather than high-volume production kitchens where larger capacity vessels would be more appropriate. It is a practical addition to a working kitchen that needs a reliable, multi-method casserole dish without the weight penalty of cast iron.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your service requirements, or if you are equipping a kitchen from scratch and want to talk through what cookware makes sense operationally, we are happy to help.

The MasterClass Grey Ombre casserole dish is a 5-litre cast aluminium cooking vessel with a fitted lid, designed for use across hob, induction, and oven cooking methods. The cast aluminium construction delivers efficient, even heat distribution — performing comparably to cast iron in terms of heat retention, but at considerably lower weight, which matters when moving a full dish between stations or in and out of the oven during service.

The double-layer non-stick coating reduces the risk of food sticking during slow-cooked preparations such as casseroles, stews, braises, and tagines, and makes cleaning down at the end of service more straightforward. The dish works across all hob types including induction, and is oven-safe, giving it flexibility across different kitchen setups.

• Even heat distribution reduces hot spots during slow cooking
• Induction-compatible construction suits a range of hob types
• Lighter than cast iron — easier to handle when the dish is full
• Non-stick surface simplifies cleaning after service
• Fitted lid retains moisture and heat during oven or hob cooking

This is a smallwares item rather than heavy-duty catering equipment, and it's worth being realistic about context. It's well suited to prep kitchens, small catering operations, and cooking demonstrations where a practical, attractive, multi-method vessel is needed. For high-volume professional kitchens with continuous cooking demands, a full gastronorm-compatible system or commercial-grade cookware range may be more appropriate.

If you're building out a catering kitchen and want to discuss what cookware suits your service style and volume, we're happy to talk it through.

This MasterClass shallow casserole is made from cast aluminium with a two-layer non-stick coating and a self-basting lid. It is suitable for both hob and oven use, which makes it a practical choice for braised dishes, sauces, and slow-cooked preparations that move between heat sources during service.

Cast aluminium conducts heat evenly and responds to temperature changes more quickly than cast iron, which is useful when managing multiple pans across a busy service period. The non-stick surface reduces the risk of food catching and simplifies cleaning between covers, while the self-basting lid helps retain moisture during longer cooking times without requiring intervention.

In practical terms, this casserole suits light to moderate catering use rather than sustained heavy-volume cooking. It is a reasonable choice for small operations, prep kitchens, or as a supplementary piece alongside a larger batterie de cuisine.

• Non-stick coating reduces food adhesion and speeds up cleaning between services
• Suitable for hob and oven use, avoiding unnecessary vessel changes mid-cook
• Self-basting lid retains moisture during braising and slow cooking
• Cast aluminium construction promotes even heat distribution across the base
• Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround in busy kitchen environments

It is worth noting that cast aluminium cookware of this type is not designed for the same longevity as professional-grade stainless or cast iron pieces. For kitchens running high service volumes daily, a more robust alternative may be worth considering. If you are unsure whether this fits your operation, we are happy to talk it through.

The MasterClass cast aluminium casserole dish is a general-purpose cooking vessel designed for use across hob and oven environments. Cast aluminium sits between lightweight pressed cookware and the heavier cast iron it is often compared to — it conducts and distributes heat well without the weight penalty that makes large cast iron pieces impractical for regular handling. The dish comes with a fitting lid, which supports braising, slow cooking, and any application where moisture retention matters.

In a working kitchen context, this dish suits smaller-batch cooking rather than high-volume production. It performs well for staff meals, small-function catering, or front-of-house service in smaller establishments where individual or small-group portions are prepared to order. The non-stick finish assists with foods that tend to catch — slow-cooked proteins, rice dishes, and reduced sauces — and makes cleaning straightforward at the end of service. Induction compatibility means it can be used across a range of hob types without needing to match it to a specific burner.

Practical points worth noting:

• Suitable for hob and oven use, including induction hobs
• Double-layer non-stick coating reduces food adhesion and simplifies cleaning
• Cast aluminium construction gives even heat distribution without excessive weight
• Fitted lid supports braising and moisture-retentive cooking methods
• Lightweight relative to cast iron equivalents of similar capacity

This is a smallwares item rather than heavy-duty production equipment, so it is best suited to lower-frequency use or supplementary roles in a kitchen rather than sustained all-day production. For operations requiring larger batch capacity or more intensive daily use, a heavier-duty option would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and construction suits your kitchen's workload, the team is happy to advise.

The MasterClass shallow casserole dish is cast from aluminium with a stainless steel base, giving it broad heat source compatibility across induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate hobs. The shallow profile makes it practical for braises, reductions, and sauced dishes where you want good evaporation control and easy access for basting or portioning during service.

Cast aluminium distributes heat evenly across the base and sides, which reduces hot spots and helps maintain a steady cooking temperature without constant adjustment. Despite the solid construction, it remains noticeably lighter than comparable cast iron pieces, which matters during a busy service when a dish may be moved on and off the stove repeatedly.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Compatible with all common hob types including induction
• Oven-safe construction suits dishes that finish in the oven after stovetop preparation
• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of scorching sauces or proteins
• Lighter than cast iron, reducing fatigue during extended service periods
• Shallow design gives good visibility and access for basting and plating

This is a smallware item and requires no installation considerations beyond standard kitchen use. It is worth confirming your induction hob's minimum cookware diameter against the base size before ordering, as some commercial induction units have zone-size requirements.

The 4-litre shallow format suits smaller professional kitchens, pop-up operations, catering companies producing individual or small-batch dishes, and hospitality sites that require reliable, multi-hob-compatible cookware without the weight penalty of cast iron. For sites producing larger batch volumes, a deeper or higher-capacity vessel may be more appropriate.
