Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Give the bowls a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any residue from manufacturing and  packing.
  • When storing, stack them carefully by aligning their shapes to ensure stability and  maximise your shelf space.
  • Plan where they'll be kept in the kitchen or front-of-house for easy and  safe access during busy service periods.

Keeping It Going

  • While very durable, always avoid extreme and  sudden temperature changes, such as moving a bowl from the freezer directly into a hot oven.
  • Use non-abrasive detergents and  soft cloths or sponges to maintain the clarity and  shine of the smoked glass.
  • Regularly check for any chips or cracks, especially around the rim, and  remove any damaged items from service immediately for safety.
  • When loading into a dishwasher, ensure the bowls are secure and  won't knock against other items, which can cause chipping.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what fits best? Here’s a quick guide to choosing tableware that works as hard as you do.

Consider Your Portions

A 300mm smoked glass display bowl is ideal for generous main courses like pasta or salads. Map your bowl sizes to your menu for perfect presentation every time.

Match Your Ambiance

A smoked glass design adds a modern, moody feel. Does this complement your restaurant's decor and  brand identity? The right tableware enhances your theme.

Think About Storage

Stackability is a non-negotiable in most commercial kitchens. Always check this feature to ensure you can store your crockery efficiently and  safely.

Factor in Durability

Look for materials like toughened glass or vitrified ceramic, like this Steelite bowl, that are designed for the knocks and  bumps of a professional environment.

Build a Cohesive Collection

Does the bowl belong to a wider range? Choosing a piece from a collection like Steelite Scape allows you to build a consistent and  professional look over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this Steelite Scape VV718 oval bowl truly black or more of a grey?

A: It's a translucent 'smoked' grey. The colour can appear darker or lighter depending on the ambient lighting and  the food it contains, giving it a dynamic quality.

Q: What is the main benefit of the irregular shape?

A: It provides a rustic, handcrafted aesthetic that makes your food presentation feel more premium, artisanal, and  unique compared to standard round bowls.

Q: Can these bowls be used for hot soups?

A: Yes, they are microwave safe and  designed to handle hot food perfectly well. Just avoid taking them directly from a freezer to adding boiling liquid to prevent thermal shock.

Q: Are they heavy?

A: Being made of durable commercial-grade glass, they have a satisfying weight that conveys quality and  sturdiness, but they are not unmanageably heavy for service staff.

Q: How can an irregular shape be stackable?

A: The design allows the bowls to nestle together securely, saving vertical shelf space, even though their rims aren't perfectly uniform.

Q: How many bowls come in one box?

A: They are supplied in a manufacturer's box containing 6 bowls.

Q: Will the smoked colour fade after many dishwasher cycles?

A: No, the colour is integral to the glass itself, not a coating. It is designed to withstand thousands of commercial dishwashing cycles without fading.

Q: What kind of dishes work best in a 300mm smoked glass display bowl?

A: It's incredibly versatile. It's fantastic for vibrant salads, pasta, noodle dishes, sharing starters, or even as a stylish display bowl on a buffet.

It’s like serving a dish in a piece of art, instantly elevating the perceived value and  care you've put into every plate.
