Product Description
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.
If you are fitting out a new section or replacing stock across a large operation and are unsure of the right quantity or size mix, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your service style.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is thermally shock resistant, meaning the dishes can go from freezer storage directly into a hot oven. This makes them a practical choice for kitchens that prep ahead and finish to order during service.
- Steelite's alumina vitrified ceramic is designed for the demands of commercial dishwashing cycles and general contract catering use. The lifetime edge chip warranty reflects the durability of the material, though sensible stacking and careful handling during washing will always help extend the working life of any ceramic piece.
- For a mid-sized restaurant or hotel section, 36 pieces is a reasonable opening stock for a single dish size, allowing for breakages and dishwasher turnaround. Higher-volume operations running large banqueting covers or multiple outlets may want to consider holding additional packs to ensure consistent availability through service.
