How Churchill Crockery Works

Churchill crockery achieves its legendary durability through a sophisticated vitrification process. The clay is fired at extremely high temperatures—often exceeding 1200°C—creating a glass-like surface that's remarkably non-porous. This manufacturing technique produces tableware that's practically impervious to moisture, preventing bacterial growth and resisting stains brilliantly. The added silica in the clay creates a robust molecular structure that withstands the constant knocks and temperature changes of busy restaurants. It's why Churchill plates can survive the intense demands of commercial dishwashers, hot lamps, and thousands of trips between kitchen and dining room without looking tired!

Safety Guidelines

  • Inspect Regularly Check for hairline cracks—prevents contamination.
  • Handle With Care Use proper lifting techniques—prevents slips and breakages.
  • Avoid Overloading Stack reasonably—prevents toppling accidents.
  • Allow Cooling Let plates cool before stacking—prevents thermal stress.
  • Dispose Safely Wrap broken pieces before binning—protects staff.
  • Clean Spills Immediately Prevents slipping hazards—keeps kitchen safe.

Top Tips for Using Churchill Crockery

To maximise your Churchill tableware investment, implement a proper storage system with plate stackers to prevent chips and cracks. Pre-rinse immediately after use to prevent staining, particularly with dishes containing turmeric or tomato. For commercial dishwashing, avoid overcrowding racks, and consider water softeners if your area has hard water. While extremely durable, avoid sudden temperature changes—don't move pieces directly from freezer to oven—and use plate covers rather than stacking hot plates directly.
