Frequently Asked Questions

General
About Baking Hot
Pricing
What materials are commonly used for commercial baking dishes and ramekins?

Commercial baking dishes are typically made from porcelain, ceramic, stainless steel, or aluminum. White porcelain ramekins and baking dishes are particularly popular in restaurants because they're durable, oven-safe up to 572°F, naturally non-stick, and don't absorb odors or bacteria. Professional-grade materials ensure consistent heat distribution and long-lasting performance in high-volume commercial kitchens.

What's the difference between round ramekins and custard cups in professional kitchens?

Round ramekins and custard cups are essentially the same product, with ramekins being the more common term in professional settings. These small, straight-sided dishes typically range in diameter from 2.5 inches to 4.5 inches and are used for serving individual portions of desserts, sauces, or appetizers. Both terms refer to oven-safe dishes perfect for crème brûlée, soufflés, and portion control in restaurants.

Why do restaurants prefer oval-eared dishes for food presentation?

Oval-eared dishes provide excellent heat retention and elegant presentation for gratins, casseroles, and individual portions. The eared handles make them easy to transport from oven to table safely, while the oval shape maximizes serving space and creates an appealing visual presentation. These dishes are particularly valued in fine dining establishments for their professional appearance and functional design.

What sizes of rectangular baking dishes are most common in commercial kitchens?

Commercial kitchens typically use rectangular baking dishes ranging from 6.25 x 4 inches for individual portions to larger sizes for family-style servings. Standard dimensions include 8x8 inches, 9x13 inches, and various smaller sizes, such as 6.25 x 4.25 inches, for appetizers and desserts. The choice depends on portion sizes, menu requirements, and oven capacity in professional food service operations.

How do soufflé dishes differ from regular round baking dishes?

Soufflé dishes feature straight, high sides, typically measuring 4.75 x 2.5 inches or similar proportions, explicitly designed for soufflés and similar recipes that require rising. Unlike regular round baking dishes, soufflé dishes have a deeper profile and smooth interior walls that help delicate batters climb during baking. The specialized design ensures proper heat circulation and prevents the collapse of temperature-sensitive dishes.
