Churchill Stonecast Deep Skillet Peppercorn Grey 245mm (Pack of 6)

The Churchill Stonecast Deep Skillet in Peppercorn Grey is a super vitrified ceramic piece designed to move directly from oven to table. The 570ml capacity suits individual portions — braises, gratins, baked eggs, hot starters, and similar dishes where you want to present food in the vessel it was finished in. The hand-decorated dotted surface and darkened edge give each piece a degree of natural variation, which fits comfortably within the rustic, comfort-food aesthetic that many restaurant and bistro operators are building on their tables at the moment.

In a busy service environment, the practical value of cooking, holding, and serving in a single piece is straightforward: fewer transfers between kitchen and pass, food arriving hotter at the table, and a cleaner workflow at the plate-up stage. The super vitrified construction is more resistant to chipping and cracking than standard ceramic, which matters when pieces are going in and out of service daily across a full week.

• Oven-to-table use reduces plate transfers and keeps food hotter at service
• Super vitrified body provides improved chip and crack resistance in daily use
• Hand-decorated finish gives each piece natural, individual character on the table
• Works across a range of dishes — gratins, braises, baked starters, individual portions
• Consistent aesthetic across the broader Stonecast range supports cohesive table presentation

It is worth noting that these skillets are rated to 180°C, which is well suited to finishing and holding in the oven. They are not intended for direct heat sources — hobs or open flames are not appropriate — so if your workflow involves searing before oven cooking, that step will need a separate piece of cookware.

This format is well suited to restaurants, bistros, gastropubs, and hotel dining rooms where individual plating with a handcrafted quality is central to the table concept. Higher-volume canteen or banqueting operations may find a simpler, more uniform piece better matched to their throughput and handling requirements.

If you would like to talk through whether this size and finish works with your current menu format or table setting, the team is glad to help.
