Steelite Simplicity Round Eared Dishes 165mm (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Simplicity round eared dish is a compact, single-portion cookware piece made from alumina vitrified ceramic. At 165mm across, it is a practical size for individual starters, sides, or small sharing portions, and the eared design gives both chef and guest a safe, comfortable way to handle a hot dish.

In a working kitchen, the main practical advantage of this range is thermal shock resistance. Dishes can move directly from freezer storage into a hot oven without risk of cracking, which suits prep-ahead workflows common in high-volume operations — banqueting, carvery service, or any kitchen that batches and finishes to order. The ceramic also retains heat well at the table, which helps maintain food quality during service.

• Alumina vitrified ceramic construction resists chipping and handles heavy daily use
• Eared design allows safe handling of hot dishes without separate ramekin cloths
• Thermal shock resistance supports freezer-to-oven working methods
• White finish presents cleanly under a range of plating styles
• Supplied in a pack of 36, suited to stocking a full section or service station

These dishes are dishwasher safe and the Steelite Simplicity range is widely used in contract catering, pub kitchens, and hotel food service where reliability and consistent presentation matter more than novelty. The lifetime edge chip warranty reflects confidence in the material, though as with any ceramic cookware, avoiding hard impacts during handling will extend service life.
