Kitchen supplies, particularly small serving dishes like ramekins and sauce cups, are essential in restaurants for serving condiments or small portions. These items come in various sizes and names. The smallest ones are often called *sauce cups* or *souffle cups* and typically hold around 1 4 cup or less, ideal for items like ketchup, tartar sauce, or dips. Slightly larger versions, sometimes used for serving queso or salsa, may be referred to as *salsa bowls*. *Cheese pipkins*, *oyster cups*, *monkey dishes*, and other similar terms may also be used for small-serving containers. While disposable options are available, ceramic ramekins are preferred for regular restaurant service because they offer a more refined, upscale appearance compared to their disposable counterparts.
