Buffet bowls

What dishes are buffet bowls used for?

Buffet bowls are suitable as tableware for the guest as well as serving bowls for presentation for various dishes. Typical dishes served in buffet bowls include yogurt, cottage cheese, creams, dips, salads, sliced fruits and vegetables, muesli, bircher muesli, fruit salads and cereals. But of course, there are no limits to creativity here.

Buffet bowls made of glass, stoneware & more: common materials & their properties

Glass
Food such as colored creams and fruit salad are visually particularly accentuated in glass bowls. The bowls can be precooled well. Bowls made of borosilicate glass can also withstand the temperature of heated food such as a warm lentil paste. In terms of handling, glass bowls are a grateful product for staff: they are easy to clean, dishwasher safe and stackable. Glass bowls, however, come not only in timeless transparency, but also colored. Keep your buffet classically simple or vary the design and colors of your glass bowls

Porcelain Porcelain is a ceramic form made from kaolin and quartz and is very durable simply because of its weight. Fancy looks with fine cracks in the porcelain body due to the crack glaze process, irregular speckles or a matt timeless design are possible with the opaque material. Porcelain bowls are stackable and microwaveable. In addition, the bowls are dishwasher safe and therefore relaxed in cleaning.

Melamine
For caterings and for bowls that are used and transported in high frequency, the very stable and resistant melamine bowls are suitable. They are made of melamine resin, a hard and unbreakable plastic, and defy frequent handling without a hitch. The material is popular with caterers because it is durable, lightweight and allows for many design and styling options. Melamine tableware is mainly used as dinnerware in the catering industry.

Stoneware
Made of clay, stoneware bowls have a pleasant feel and sturdy texture. Like porcelain, stoneware is available in a variety of colors. In addition, stoneware bowls are ovenproof, dishwasher safe and microwaveable.

The right bowl for your buffet

Buffet bowls, like the other parts of our porcelain and tableware, differ not only in material, but above all in shape and have a significant impact on the style of a buffet. If you plan to serve cereals and cottage cheese in a large buffet system, bowls that can be inserted into the system for cooling are predestined. Small bowls can be conveniently arranged in a system to save space - ideal for an extensive brunch. Buffet stands require robust and stylish bowls.

Accessories for buffet bowls

Lovingly arranged like in grandma's kitchen or presented in a minimalist way - the arrangement of food has a decisive influence on the gastronomic experience of the guests. Versatile accessories fuel the creative design process of restaurateurs and enable the optimal presentation of the trays depending on the application and theme.

• Buffet stands, buffet displays & buffet systems with or without tray inserts enable a pleasant and space-saving arrangement of the trays.
• Buffet showcases: present the buffet bowls in showcases, which also protect the food from environmental influences.
• Lid for bowls: For durability and hygiene reasons, a lid on a buffet bowl is useful. Made of crystal clear acrylic, it still ensures an unobstructed view of the food inside.
• Serving cutlery for portioning and arranging the food
