Cobalt Blue Round Serving Bowl 9.6 Litre

A round serving bowl holds prepared dishes at the pass, on the buffet line or in the servery. Its open shape lets staff portion and replenish without lifting lids or moving trays, while the smooth sides and wide rim make it easy to carry and present.

The bowl rests on a flat base so it does not tip when filled. A generous diameter spreads the load, reducing the risk of spills when the bowl is carried by the rim. The depth is chosen to keep the centre of gravity low, which adds stability on a busy worktop or trolley.

To use, place the bowl on a level surface. Fill with hot or cold food up to the safe fill line marked inside. Carry by the rim with both hands, keeping the bowl close to the body. After service, empty and clean before the next use.

The bowl is made of stainless steel, which resists corrosion, does not absorb odours and withstands repeated washing at high temperatures. The cobalt blue exterior is a durable powder-coated finish that protects the metal and provides a consistent colour across the range.

The single control is the rim itself: its width and smoothness allow safe, comfortable handling even when the bowl is full.

A 9.6 litre volume accommodates large batches of salads, vegetables, pasta or desserts, reducing the need to refill during service. The 350 mm diameter fits standard gastronorm trolleys and worktops, while the 175 mm height keeps the bowl within easy reach of staff without obstructing sight lines across the servery.

Cleaning is straightforward: wash in hot water with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. The stainless steel interior and powder-coated exterior tolerate commercial dishwashers and sanitising agents. Avoid abrasive pads that could scratch the finish.

This model is part of the BHS serving range, designed for compatibility with other BHS buffet and servery equipment.

The bowl is listed in the BHS catalogue under Serving Equipment, Bowls & Basins.
