Steelite Simplicity Oval Eared Dishes 305mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Simplicity oval eared dish is a practical oven-to-table piece made from alumina vitrified ceramic. At 305mm in length, it sits comfortably between a sharing portion and an individual serving, making it well suited to gratin dishes, baked pastas, roasted vegetables, and similar preparations that move directly from oven to cover to table.

In a busy kitchen, the ability to take a dish from freezer to oven without cracking or crazing is a genuine operational advantage. The thermal shock resistance of the alumina vitrified ceramic construction means prep teams can work ahead, freeze portioned dishes, and cook to order during service without needing to transfer to separate cookware. That reduces handling, speeds up pass times, and cuts the risk of breakages at the transition point.

The eared design gives service staff a safe, controlled grip when moving hot dishes, which matters when covers are running at pace. Practical advantages for the day-to-day operation include:

• Oven, freezer, and dishwasher compatible for flexible kitchen workflows
• White glaze presents food cleanly without distraction
• Eared handles reduce the risk of dropped dishes during service
• Uniform shape stacks efficiently in storage and on the pass
• Sold in a pack of 12, suited to consistent batch replacement

Being ceramic rather than cast iron or pressed steel, these dishes are lighter to handle and quicker to heat through, though they will not retain heat quite as long once off the pass. For high-volume sites running large numbers of simultaneous covers, it is worth considering whether a deeper capacity or more substantial gauge would better suit your service style.

If you are unsure whether these fit the portion sizes or throughput volumes you need, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a quantity.
