Turning Up the Heat: Hot Counters for the Cold Months

When the temperature drops, your counters should do the opposite. This is the season for hearty dishes that warm the cockles from trays that steam, glisten, and glow with the promise of comfort. This winter, it’s all about giving your hot counter the attention it deserves with Ore, Dalebrook’s latest innovation designed to make turning up the heat look effortlessly cool.

Service That Can Handle the Heat

Ore isn’t just another tray system. It’s the innovation that’s changing the way hot counters perform. Crafted with a stainless-steel Greblon coating, Ore is fully compatible with induction hobs, keeping your dishes piping hot and perfectly presented throughout a busy service.

Designed with unique space-saving corner handles, Ore trays sit neatly together in a GN grid formation. No clashing trays, no wasted space. Just a clean, seamless counter that looks as good as it functions. The result is a display that feels dynamic, refined, and visually irresistible.

Hero the Hot Counter

This season, make your hot counter the main event. Customers are craving comfort, and Ore lets you serve it with style.


Use the interlocking design to tell a visual story. Trays connecting effortlessly to guide the eye across your counter. Think trays of slow-braised stews, beside golden potatoes next to glistening vegetables, all coming together in one beautifully cohesive display.

Whether you’re plating up office catering spreads or running a deli-style hot counter, Ore helps you showcase the season’s heartiest dishes in a way that feels elevated, practical, and ready for service.

Style That Turns Heads

Ore is where function meets theatre. Its sleek matte finish, seamless edges, and structured layout bring effortless polish to your counter. Gone are the clunky gaps and cluttered trays; in their place, a display that flows, connects, and tells a story with every serve.

Use Ore to elevate your festive catering too. From honey-glazed hams to roast vegetables and all the seasonal trimmings, it’s the perfect partner for creating a Christmas spread that’s full of warmth and charm.
