The key word in the modern kitchen is surprise. It all starts from the best cookware to the most spectacular presentation: which material to choose? Porcelain and cast iron are a popular choice among restaurateurs, but there is one offering that combines the advantages of both: the Ghisa line from MPS Porcellane.
Entering the stage as a protagonist with Ghisa
Porcelain or cast iron for the kitchen: the choice for the best cookware
Understanding the materials is important for the right assessment: while cast iron, a combination of carbon and iron, is most used for pots and pans, porcelain, a very prestigious type of ceramic, is even more versatile and provides impeccable aesthetics for table service.
Durability
When it comes to durability, cast iron cookware is certainly very sturdy and can be passed down from generation to generation. The same can be said for porcelain, although the tendency to chip, if not carefully handled and stored, is greater due to different finishes and materials. The perfect fusion of the two worlds – iron and earth – is Ghisa, which combines the strength of both materials with a more durable cast-iron-effect matte finish.
Cleaning and maintenance
Maintaining cast iron is more difficult because, being an iron material, it tends to rust. A problem completely absent in porcelain, which can also be cleaned in the dishwasher without any problems. The surface of cast iron cookware also needs seasoning to make it nonstick, while porcelain is nonporous and therefore anti-stick by nature. These are all qualities that are found in the Ghisa line: in fact, the matte finish does not affect the ease of cleaning the dishes and containers.
Functionality
Cast iron cookware can be difficult to use, especially if you are new to cooking. In addition to the possibility of food sticking to the surface during roasting, you need to pay close attention to temperatures, which can become very high and take time to drop, ruining the dish. Porcelain withstands very high temperatures and, in fact, can be used in the oven and microwave, and the heat is evenly distributed for better cooking. The same is also maintained, to serve the menu at the most suitable temperature. The cast iron-effect finish in MPS Porcellane’s elegant total black line maintains this incredible functionality.
Weight and manageability
With the Ghisa line, no more heavy tableware, maintaining the sought-after iron matte effect: porcelain is much lighter than cast iron, for incredible handling when compared to ironware. The credit goes to the materials, metallic for cast iron and clay crafted with minerals for porcelain. The thickness of cast iron cookware is therefore much greater, directly affecting the weight of the item. Porcelain is lighter and easily stackable, for optimal storage in spaces and unparalleled ease of use.

Buffets and stylish breakfasts
A symphony of colors of fresh hors d’oeuvres, ingenious treats and original finger foods duet with the elegance of innovative containers that go beyond their primary function of accompanying food to the table. Salmon and sauces dotted with parsley lie cradled in the melody of style that reflects the chef’s creative personality: here are finger with a cast iron finish. Finger food is never alone in the contrast of notes from the light, vibrant hues of cream cheese, shrimp, and decorations on the elegance of black flower, bongo, armchair, hexagon, or spoon. Rectangular tray brings small containers to the buffet table or directly presents a wide selection of jams and breads for breakfast. If a hotel guests’ day starts with the right personality, the stay will have a whole other flavor: who said you can only serve a clean and graceful breakfast on white?

Lunches and dinners for every expression of creativity
From pasta to dessert, the Ghisa line has an item for every dish. When the contrast between the container and the color of the food served is high, appetite increases, as studies and research also say. In fact, the same principle why chefs often choose white tableware also applies to black items: a uniform color can enhance the dish presented and highlight creative strengths. The perfection of succulent, traditional pasta dishes suits deep oval plates, while fusion cuisine brings rice to triumph with small bowl, and the star of Japanese cuisine, sushi, makes its way onto dedicated square and rectangular plates. The elegance of the smooth surface, which does not reflect light, of oval roasting dish captures all the attention to bring it to the lasagna, in a restaurant where the quality of Made in Italy is in the air, and the round pizza plate lets all the leavened masterpiece with mozzarella and tomato express itself. Appetizing steak cooked to the right point in its typical reddish-brown color is celebrated in the cozy dimensions of oval plate, while oval fish welcomes pink trout accompanied by bright green salads. And, finally, chocolate treats and desserts, snowed in white powdered sugar, join the feast of a complete dining experience.

Ghisa is aesthetic enhancement not only for dish presentations but utility from the kitchen to the table. In fact, MPS porcelains can be used for cooking and withstand a heat shock of up to 250°C: from oven to freezer, with appropriate cooling, to preserve all preparations. Classic arancini with a rustic appearance, but with a tender heart, look out from the threshold of the chefs’ reign to the restaurant hall, proud protagonists of crispiness along with gastronorm basic. Soups are always at just the right temperature and enter the scene in the most ingenious way possible with the lion soup tureen. The fregi and round frying pans are ready to amaze in the divergence of colors that gives rise to unexpected combinations of yellow and black, while the casseroles provide durability and special effects in a magic that revolutionizes the idea of presentation at the table.
