Augratin Dishes for Hotels & Restaurants — Ceramic, Porcelain & Oven Safe Gratin Baking Dish | Makrey

That Moment When the Gratin Arrives at the Table

There is a moment in professional food service that separates ordinary baking from extraordinary presentation.

The moment a perfectly golden, bubbling au gratin dish arrives at the table straight from the oven — crust gleaming, edges just catching the light, a thin curl of steam rising — guests stop talking. Forks pause. Phones come out.

Whether it is a creamy potato au gratin at a five star hotel breakfast buffet, a rich pasta gratin in an individual ceramic dish at a fine dining restaurant, or a deep oval au gratin filled with golden-crusted vegetables at a continental catering event — the right au gratin dish makes every baked dish look as spectacular as it tastes.

Makrey offers India's finest collection of au gratin dishes — ceramic, porcelain, stoneware, and vitrified hotelware — oven safe, professional grade, and available in oval, round, rectangular, individual, and deep formats for hotels, restaurants, catering businesses, and home kitchens across India.

What Makes an Au Gratin Dish Different

An au gratin dish is a shallow, wide baking vessel designed specifically for dishes cooked with a golden crusted topping — created by browning cheese, breadcrumbs, or cream sauce under high heat.

The wide, shallow design maximises the surface area exposed to oven heat — creating the most extensive, most evenly browned crust possible. The handles allow safe transfer from a hot oven directly to the dining table, where the dish is served in the same vessel it was baked in. A complete cook-and-serve solution — one of the most practical pieces of table ware in any professional kitchen.

Why 500+ Hotels Choose Makrey for Au Gratin Dishes

Every au gratin dish in the Makrey collection is hotelware ceramic — specifically manufactured for professional hospitality use, not adapted from home cookware ranges.

Hotelware ceramic must handle what home cookware never faces — repeated oven cycles at high temperatures, commercial dishwasher compatibility through hundreds of wash cycles, chip-resistant edges that survive daily stacking, and consistent colour and glaze across bulk orders of 50, 100, or 500 pieces.

Makrey's hotelware ceramic au gratin dishes meet every one of these standards — and that is why 500+ hotels across India keep coming back.

Why hotels choose Makrey:

•  Oven safe certified to 250°C+

•  Complete range — all shapes and sizes

•  Consistent bulk quality — same glaze every batch

•  Lead-free, FSSAI compliant

Shop Au Gratin Dishes By Shape

Oval Au Gratin Dish — The Classic Restaurant Format

The oval au gratin dish is the most iconic format in professional kitchens — and the most recognisable au gratin presentation in fine dining restaurants across the world.

The elongated oval form maximises the surface-area-to-depth ratio — creating the largest possible crust area relative to the volume of food. More golden crust. More consistent browning. More dramatic visual presentation.

Pair it with your other table ware — dip bowls & ramekins, portion dishes, and soup bowls & soup spoons — for a complete continental dining table setup.

Available sizes:

• Individual oval: 15cm x 10cm — single serve, fine dining

• Standard oval: 22cm x 15cm — 2-person restaurant portion

• Large oval: 30cm x 20cm — sharing or small group

• Banquet oval: 38cm x 25cm — hotel buffet and catering

⭐ "The oval ceramic au gratin dishes from Makrey are on every table in our restaurant — guests ask about them before they ask about the food. The presentation is that good!" — Restaurant Owner, Mumbai

Round Au Gratin Dish — Individual & Sharing Portions

The round au gratin dish is the favourite for individual fine dining portions and sharing plates — its symmetrical shape creates a clean, contemporary presentation that suits modern restaurant aesthetics beautifully.

Available sizes: Mini 10cm | Individual 15cm | Sharing 25cm | Large 32cm

Best for: Fine dining à la carte, tasting menus, hotel room service, contemporary restaurant presentation

Rectangular Gratin Casserole Dish — Banquet & Catering Scale

When cooking for large numbers — hotel banquets, wedding catering, institutional dining — the rectangular gratin casserole dish is the professional choice. Multiple rectangular dishes fit side by side in a single commercial oven rack, allowing efficient large-batch baking.

Best for: Hotel banquets, wedding catering, institutional dining, large restaurant groups

Deep Au Gratin Dish — For Richer, Thicker Bakes

The deep au gratin dish is the professional baker's choice for richer, more substantial baked dishes — where depth is needed for thick layers of potato, pasta, or vegetable.

What the deep au gratin dish does better:

• Contains thick, multi-layer gratins without spillage

• Allows generous sauce layering beneath the crust

• Retains moisture in the base while crisping the top

• Perfect for potato gratin, lasagna-style bakes, fish gratin

⭐ "The deep ceramic gratin dish is the one our kitchen cannot live without — our signature potato au gratin is perfect every single service!" — Executive Chef, Five Star Hotel, Hyderabad

Individual Au Gratin Dish — Fine Dining Precision

A single-serve ceramic au gratin dish goes into the oven per cover, bakes to a perfectly individual golden crust, and arrives at the guest's place setting still in the same vessel — warm, fresh, and beautifully presented.

Available finishes: White glaze | Off-white | Coloured restaurant finishes

Care & Maintenance

• Allow to cool completely before washing — never put hot ceramic in cold water

• Commercial dishwasher safe — use standard hotel programme

• Soak stubborn baked-on residue in warm water for 20 minutes before cleaning

• Use non-abrasive sponge — steel wool damages the glaze

• Never place cold ceramic dish directly into a hot oven — allow to reach room temperature first

• Store with soft padding between stacked pieces
