Delivery Information

Price Match

The APS paella bowl is a melamine serving dish designed for presenting paella and similar rice or grain dishes at buffet counters, live cooking stations and table service. It comes in two sizes, 210mm and 280mm, finished in black, which suits most contemporary hospitality presentation styles. The 210mm is an individual or small-sharing portion size. The 280mm is a larger sharing size.

Melamine gives reasonable durability for front-of-house use. It holds its appearance with regular handling and resists chipping better than ceramic in a busy service. The integrated handles allow staff to move the bowl between the kitchen pass and the service area without cloths or extra equipment.

  • Two sizes: 210mm (490g) and 280mm (750g)
  • Black finish suits a wide range of buffet and table presentation styles
  • Integrated handles aid safe transport during service
  • Melamine construction resists chipping better than ceramic equivalents
  • Consistent sizing supports portion control at buffet stations

Melamine should not be used in microwaves or conventional ovens, so these bowls are for serving, not cooking or reheating. They are also not suited to dishwashers running very high-temperature programmes, which can degrade the material over time, so check your machine's temperature before regular commercial washing. These bowls suit hotels, restaurant buffets, event caterers and casual dining operations. If you are fitting out a buffet counter or live station and want to discuss portion sizing or quantities, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Can this bowl be used in a commercial dishwasher?

Melamine can be washed in a commercial dishwasher, but it is sensitive to very high wash temperatures, which can cause discolouration or surface degradation over time. Check that your machine's wash cycle does not exceed the temperature threshold recommended for melamine, and avoid programmes with a very high final rinse temperature.

Is this bowl suitable for keeping food warm on a heated buffet counter?

This bowl is designed for serving and presentation rather than direct heat. It should not be placed on heated surfaces, in ovens, or in microwave ovens. For hot-hold buffet applications, you would need to look at dishes rated for direct heat or chafing dish inserts.

How many of these bowls would a typical buffet operation need?

That depends on your service style and cover numbers. For a rolling buffet where bowls are replenished continuously, having enough to cover at least one full rotation — plus spares in the wash cycle — is a practical minimum. If you are planning a full counter setup, it is worth having a conversation about quantities to avoid running short during peak service.
