Main materials

This page brings together all the articles made from the main materials used in the manufacture of professional kitchenware.

Aluminium: salt and chip shakers, salad bowls, GN trays, saucepans.... As a basic kitchen utensil, aluminium has the advantage of being light, strong and attractive. These products may or may not have a coloured non-slip coating. In cooking equipment, cast aluminium conducts heat and cold well and retains it for a long time. Never use a knife on an aluminium surface. Never use abrasive cleaners. Not suitable for dishwashers.

Slate: Trays, labels, salad bowls and displays. Slate is a natural material that is particularly attractive and elegant. What's more, it can withstand sudden changes in temperature (you can put a hot dish on it!) and slate keeps food cold very well.

Concrete: a trendy material that has entered the world of kitchens and professional catering. Concrete crockery gives a modern and original touch to your buffets and tables.

Wood: wooden boards, trays and boxes, table caddies, cereal or fruit juice dispensers with wooden bases, pepper and salt mills, display stands... Wood always adds a touch of authenticity, often with a natural look, but it can also be wenge or mahogany.

Enamelled cast iron: Widely used in kitchen utensils, enamelled cast iron is used in the design of saucepans, frying pans, ovenware, etc. Its excellent conductivity and resistance to high temperatures ensure even heat distribution. It's ideal for long, slow cooking. Our products can be used in the oven and on stoves (induction compatible).

Stainless steel: tableware, GN trays, chafing dishes, accessories, carafes... There are many products in this material with numerous advantages: it can withstand temperatures of up to 300°C, is dishwasher-safe, highly hygienic and shock-resistant.

Melamine: mainly used for melamine dishes, bowls, salad bowls, plates, platters and trays, but also for GN containers and trays, ashtrays, tasting or serving spoons, buffet tables, saucepans and cutlery trays... The main advantage of melamine is the variety of looks and the originality of the designs! It's also mostly unbreakable. Working temperatures from -30°C to +70°C.

Plastic (PET): Lightweight, durable, safe and with a lower carbon footprint than other materials, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is 100% recyclable. It is a food grade plastic with the advantage of being mostly unbreakable, glossy and can withstand temperatures from -30° to +55° (dishwasher safe).

Plastic (PETG): PETG (glycolised polyethylene terephthalate) is a food grade material that is cold and chemical resistant with high mechanical strength. Its use makes it more resistant to breakage than PET.

Porcelain: trays, gastro trays, sauce pots, milk dispensers, butter dishes, etc. Porcelain is elegant and can withstand temperatures up to 220°C.

Metal: trays, ashtrays, gastro trays, candlesticks, buffet baskets and stands, serving dishes and trays, frying pans, bottle and bucket holders, towel holders, display stands, vases, etc. Properties vary according to the metal used.

Glass: carafes and jugs, glass bowls, glass jars and glasses, ashtrays, trays, pastry stands, tableware, sprinklers, glass jars, sugar bowls...
