Bowls and dishes sorted by capacity

This section catalogues around 350 varieties of porcelain bowls, dishes, and serving bowls by their capacity. The seasoned professional knows exactly how many millilitres, grams, or pounds of food or preparation a bowl needs to hold. Meanwhile, an experienced home cook or a good amateur chef often comes very close to meeting the precise expectations of a particular portion size.

This section "Bowls, dishes, and serving bowls" by capacity categorises a collection of approximately 350 different items from nearly 70 series. To make finding the right bowl size by capacity simpler, we have narrowed it down to 8 main groups, based on our long-standing experience in the gastronomy and kitchen industry. Holst Porzellan experts understand that we view our porcelain as a culinary tool, distinguishing us significantly from other porcelain manufacturers. Our porcelain is solely intended to provide a good framework for food and drink creations, ensuring maximum functionality and, above all, hygienic stability.

Porcelain is fired at high temperatures, and for manufacturing reasons, it always has tolerances due to shrinkage. This applies to all porcelain manufacturers. Therefore, the measurements of porcelain bowls and ceramic dishes should always be understood with small variations. At Holst Porzellan, we do not measure in portion sizes but always with water filled to the top rim. This method of measurement is more definitive and clear for professionals than providing measurements in serving or dispensing units. From the full-top measure, the serving quantity is then derived according to the needs of the dish, the establishment, and the staff.

For the maître d' and the head chef, this approach to selecting bowls by capacity is the most precise from a professional standpoint. At a glance, you can see the available options in sizes ranging from 0.16 to 0.39 litres.
