It comes in four sizes: 80ml dipping pot, 150ml, 300ml and 800ml. The sloped interior and round form make it straightforward to use for dipping or spooning, and the black finish replicates the look of traditional Japanese stoneware without the fragility or weight of ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelamine is more robust than ceramic in a busy service environment. It resists chipping under the handling that comes with high-turnover buffet service and is lighter to handle during setup and breakdown. The matt black finish holds its appearance and does not show minor surface marking the way gloss ceramics can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour sizes: 80ml, 150ml, 300ml and 800ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent appearance across a full set, useful for buffet lines with several stations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelamine construction tolerates regular handling better than ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish suits minimalist and traditional Asian table presentations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher safe and stackable for storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bowls are not suitable for microwave or oven use, and melamine should not be washed at high temperatures for sustained periods, as this can affect the surface finish over time. They are for ambient-temperature food rather than hot liquids. They suit restaurants, hotels and catering operations serving Japanese, Chinese or pan-Asian menus, and any buffet or grazing concept where a uniform presentation matters. If you want to make sure the pieces work together in a full buffet setup, the team is happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APS","offers":[{"title":"80ml","offer_id":46834587992381,"sku":"DA295","price":3.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"150ml","offer_id":58432737739134,"sku":"DA297","price":5.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"300ml","offer_id":58432737771902,"sku":"CN076","price":8.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"800ml","offer_id":58432737804670,"sku":"DA293","price":11.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/da295_bowl.jpg?v=1695892353","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/aps-zen-melamine-round-sloped-bowl-black","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
