Metal Bowls

Metal Bowls are hard wearing, hygienic and versatile essentials for any professional kitchen or food production site. This range covers stainless steel and chrome nickel bowls in multiple diameters and capacities, from small sauce bowls to large mixing bowls and tureens. They are ideal for prep work, marinating, chilling, serving salads or sides, and plating desserts in restaurants, cafes, hotels and delis. Lightweight yet robust, these bowls stand up to constant commercial use while remaining easy to clean and sanitise between tasks.

• Wide choice of stainless steel and chrome nickel metal bowls for prep, mixing, portioning and serving.
• Capacities from compact 0.25 L bowls to large 9 L bowls to suit every station in a busy kitchen.
• Specialist designs including ice cream bowls, general purpose bowls, mixing bowls and tureens on foot.
• Smooth polished interiors that support fast cleaning, improved food safety and reduced food sticking.
• Stackable, nesting designs that save valuable storage space in commercial kitchens and bakeries.
• Non slip base mixing bowls available for extra stability during whisking, folding and heavy mixing.

How to choose the right Metal Bowls

• Match bowl capacity to the task, using smaller bowls for sauces and garnishes and larger sizes for doughs, salads and bulk prep.
• Consider material thickness if you need extra stability and durability for heavy duty mixing or frequent commercial use.
• Choose bowl shapes carefully, with wide shallow bowls for whisking and blending and deeper profiles for liquids and marinating.
• Look for nesting sets of metal bowls to maximise storage efficiency in compact kitchens or food trucks.
• Select non slip base bowls where extra grip is needed on stainless counters or during high speed prep.
• Think about front of house use, opting for polished tureens or ice cream bowls when presentation is important.

Care and maintenance

• Wash metal bowls promptly after service to prevent residue buildup and maintain hygiene standards.
• Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners that can scratch or dull the polished stainless steel surface.
• Dry bowls thoroughly after washing to reduce water spots and keep a professional shine for front of house use.
• Store bowls nested carefully to protect rims and prevent damage when stacked on shelves or racks.
• Inspect bowls regularly for dents or deep scratches and rotate heavily used items to extend service life.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher use, especially for specialised or non slip base bowls.
