If your pass needs consistent portioning and your FOH team needs fast resets, this is the large-format crockery dish that simply performs.

✨ Product Description: Bigger Footprint, Sharper Finish

Built from vitrified ceramic (hospitality-grade crockery) and fired for density and strength, this dish balances a generous internal capacity with table-friendly proportions. The rectangular silhouette maximises usable surface area without gobbling board space, and the smooth interior helps sauces pool with a gloss finish—great for visual checks and photos.

Neutral white that makes food pop

White crockery reads clean and premium in NZ’s bright natural light. Pale sauces look luxe, dark reductions gain depth, and colourful relishes, pickles and herbs become the hero.

Service-ready durability

The vitrified body and tough glaze are chip-resistant, non-porous and odour-neutral. It shrugs off cutlery contact, repeated washing, and the knock-and-stack reality of a busy kitchen.

Portion control without guesswork

The large format is optimised for shared condiments and generous single serves. Standardising ramekin size helps you control food costs while keeping guests happy.

Built to nest and store

A precision rim and flat base allow dishes to stack straight with minimal wobble. They travel safely in bus tubs and event crates and take up less shelf space between services.

Fuss-free hygiene

The gloss glaze releases sticky sauces easily. It’s dishwasher-safe and compatible with common NZ sanitisers, helping teams hit hygiene targets during rush periods.

Sizing note: “Large” denotes a generous rectangular single-serve/side ramekin footprint suitable for shared boards and entrée plates. (Exact dimensions may vary slightly by production run.)

🌿 Benefits That Matter for NZ Venues & Homes

1) Presentation that sells the dish

Clean white ceramic amplifies colour and texture, lifting perceived value for everything from dumplings and bao to fish & chips, burgers, charcuterie and plant-based boards.

2) Lower breakage, longer life

Vitrified crockery is denser and tougher than light porcelain and far more stable than plastics. Expect fewer chips and fewer emergency re-orders during peak season.

3) Faster resets, happier staff

Smooth internal walls and a high-gloss glaze make wipe-downs fast and dishwash cycles reliable—so the pass keeps flowing and the section flips quicker.

4) Portion consistency = cost control

Using one large standard ramekin for shared condiments cuts over-portioning of premium items (aioli, chutney, imported sauces) and keeps food cost on target.

5) Space-efficient rectangle

The rectangular footprint packs tightly on long boards and tray liners and sits neatly alongside fries cups, sliders and bao baskets without crowding the plate.

6) Brand-agnostic white

White crockery never clashes—whether your venue skews rustic timber, black steel, terrazzo or coastal bright. Reordering and scaling remain painless.

7) Outdoor-friendly robustness

On decks and patios from Auckland to Queenstown, the weighted ceramic resists wind-tops and feels substantial, reducing spills and glassware accidents.

8) Sustainable in practice

While ceramic isn’t compostable, its long service life meaningfully reduces reliance on single-use plastic pots and flimsy ramekins—good for the planet and your P&L.
