Product Description
The Steelite Taste Bowl is a 130mm square bowl from Steelite's Taste collection, produced in alumina vitrified ceramic. It is a versatile piece suited to a range of service styles — from starter portions and desserts through to shared plates and casual dining formats where presentation and durability need to work in equal measure.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded body material in commercial catering. It fires harder and denser than standard vitrified china, which translates directly into better resistance to chipping, cracking, and the general wear that comes with high-turnover table service. The glaze is designed to resist staining and withstand the thermal cycling of dishwasher use without crazing or surface degradation over time — an important consideration for any operation running multiple covers per service.
From a practical standpoint, the Taste range offers a number of operational advantages:
- Thermal shock resistance reduces breakage risk moving between kitchen, pass, and dishwasher
- Stain-resistant glaze maintains a clean appearance across extended service life
- Consistent square profile stacks reliably for efficient storage and transport
- Alumina vitrified body withstands the demands of commercial dishwasher cycles
- Lifetime edge chip warranty provides reassurance for ongoing replacement budgeting
No special storage conditions are required. These bowls integrate into standard crockery management without issue and are compatible with conventional commercial dishwashing equipment. The pack of 12 is a practical quantity for most operators — sufficient to cover a service section without requiring a full bulk order.
This bowl is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotel dining, and contract catering operations where a clean, modern aesthetic is needed alongside reliable day-to-day durability. For very high-volume sites or operators needing a deeper bowl profile, it is worth reviewing the broader Steelite range to confirm this size and shape matches your service requirements.
If you are specifying crockery across multiple covers or want guidance on quantities for your service volume, our team is happy to help you work through the numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A useful rule of thumb is to hold three times your seated cover count in crockery to allow for items in use, on the pass, and in the dishwasher cycle simultaneously. For a 40-cover section, that would mean roughly 120 bowls — or ten packs of 12. Your actual requirement will depend on cover turnover rate and dishwasher cycle time, so it is worth calculating against your specific service pattern.
- Yes. The alumina vitrified body and durable glaze are designed for the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers. The thermal shock resistance is particularly relevant here, as it reduces the risk of crazing or cracking caused by rapid temperature changes between wash and rinse cycles.
- The Taste collection works well in casual and informal dining formats — cafés, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and contract catering environments where a clean, contemporary presentation is needed alongside practical durability. If your operation requires a more formal or fine-dining aesthetic, it may be worth reviewing other ranges in the Steelite portfolio to find the best match for your front-of-house style.
