From chilled seafood displays to warm buffet favorites, presentation and temperature both play an important role in the dining experience. For restaurants, caterers, and hospitality venues, finding serveware that supports different serving needs without compromising style can make all the difference.
Meet Frostfire by APS Germany, available through Libbey. This versatile collection of cast aluminum bowls and trays is designed for both hot and cold food presentations, combining practical functionality with a distinctive, modern look.
One Collection, Hot and Cold Possibilities
What makes Frostfire stand out? Its versatility.
Crafted from durable cast aluminum, Frostfire bowls and trays can be used in refrigerated displays or under heat lamps, making them a flexible solution for a variety of foodservice applications.
Cast aluminum conducts heat efficiently, allowing the serveware to respond to the temperature of its surrounding environment. Whether showcasing chilled appetizers or warm dishes, Frostfire provides a practical foundation for different serving setups.
Ideal applications include:
- Buffets & Catering: Present hot and cold menu items with a coordinated serving collection.
- Restaurants & Hospitality: Create polished displays for appetizers, sides, and shared dishes.
- Seafood & Chilled Displays: Showcase oysters, seafood, and other chilled offerings.
- Events & Outdoor Service: Bring versatile, durable serveware to a variety of event settings, with appropriate temperature-control environment.
Designed to Perform. Styled to Impress.
Beyond its versatility, Frostfire brings a distinctive look to the tabletop. Its dark, speckled finish adds texture and visual interest while complementing a wide range of food presentations.
The collection offers several practical benefits for busy foodservice environments:
- Durable Cast Aluminum: Built for demanding hospitality and catering applications.
- Hot & Cold Versatility: Suitable for refrigerated displays and use under heat lamps.
- Nonstick Finish: PTFE Teflon coating helps simplify cleanup between services.
- Modern Appearance: A dark, speckled finish creates an elevated, cohesive presentation.
- Flexible Selection: Multiple bowl and tray options accommodate different serving needs.
For best results, handwashing with gentle dish detergent is recommended. Avoid cutting directly on the surface or using metal serving utensils to help preserve the nonstick coating.
