Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Pig Deli in Cardiff was looking to upgrade their tableware to better reflect their rustic, high-quality ethos. They needed crockery that was both visually appealing for their social media savvy customers and tough enough to withstand constant daily use and washing.
"We were using plain white bowls that just didn't do our food justice. We switched to the Churchill Stonecast bowls, and the difference was immediate. They have a quality feel, and the grey colour makes our vibrant salads and soups look incredible. Our customers constantly ask where they can buy them!"
Michael Davies – Owner
The switch has significantly enhanced their food presentation, leading to a noticeable increase in customer-generated social media posts featuring their dishes.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Carefully unbox and inspect each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give all bowls a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with detergent before their first use.
- Ensure you have adequate and safe shelving for storage, as a full box of 12 has some weight to it.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent chipping, avoid knocking bowls against taps or other crockery when washing and stacking.
- These bowls are dishwasher safe, but ensure they are loaded correctly in racks to avoid movement during the cycle.
- Avoid 'thermal shock' by not taking a bowl from a hot oven or microwave and placing it on a very cold or wet surface.
- Use non-abrasive scouring pads if any stubborn food needs to be removed by hand to protect the glaze.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Does 'Super Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You see 'Super Vitrified' on lots of professional crockery, but what is it? In simple terms, it's a process where the ceramic is fired at a very high temperature. This fuses the particles together, making the final product incredibly dense and non-porous. Think of it like turning a regular sponge into a solid glass marble – water just can't get in. For your kitchen, this means the Churchill FA586 deep bowl won't absorb moisture, flavours, or odours from food. This makes it far more hygienic, much more resistant to stains, and significantly stronger against chipping and cracking than standard ceramic. It's the science behind crockery that's built to last.
