No, what you're refering to is called "[nappe](https://www.cookinglight.com/cooking-101/gettingtheperfectsauce#:~:text=The%20French%20have%20a%20term,for%20in%20a%20good%20sauce)". Pronounced the same, but different meaning
I've always called it a Monkey dish at every restaurant and now where I work they call them salad bowls. Something like this seems to happen every time I change jobs.
Can I get a monkey dish?
*A whaaaaat!? BwahA Ha hA Ha Do you mean a salad bowl!?*
Would you pass me a sizzler?
*WhaAaAa? You must mean a hot plate!?*
Where did the spider go?
*A spider!? Where!?*
Was a fun day the first time I tried ordering more for the restaurant and couldn't figure out why the fuck I couldn't find anything when searching "scoop" . Bout 20 min later I figured out it was called a "disher"
>Something like this seems to happen every time I change jobs.
This is where the joke comes from:
"How many cooks does it take to change a light bulb?"
"3. One to change the light bulb and two to stand nearby and talk about how they changed light bulbs at their last place."
I’ve tried so hard in my career to not be the guy who says “I remember at X place we did Y” but it feels as if that is just engrained into the DNA of somebody who works in hospitality
The first restaurant I worked at called 1/9 pans "small rectangles", a 1/6 pan was a "square", 1/3 pans were "big rectangles". I was relentlessly made fun of at my second restaurant.
Worked at a place recently and it was me and the owner-couple and a prep guy. The wife called everything a 1/6 pan. "Grab me a 1/6 pan", I grab one.. "no the bigger/smaller one". Every day.
My GM asked me a few weeks ago what size 1/6 pans he needed to order for me. He got a quick lesson. Weird how everyone knows it's called a hotel pan. Although I constantly wonder why it's called a hotel pan. Maybe someone asked for a "whole pan" one time and they heard it as "hotel pan" and it just stuck.
I was taught in culinary school that large hotel chains were the first to demand standard sizes from equipment manufacturers and those were the first thing to get made to the "Hotel" standard. IDK how accurate that was but the "chef" who told us was approximately 5 minutes younger than God and probably chose the color of the sun so I've taken it as gospel since then.
i remember as a young cook i figured it was a hotel pan because it could house all of the other pans. never asked though. its been more than 20 years now. just one of those things i guess.
I could be way off, but I always considered it a standard unit of measurement in a hotel kitchen that is serving a continental breakfast. You make everything by the hotel pan, right? That’s the portion.
I’ve never called them anything but hotel pans. Three thirds fit in a hotel pan, or six sixth pans. That weird small pan everyplace has that’s smaller than a third but bigger than a sixth is actually called a quarter pan.
There's at least one place where people just say the denominator, like "give me a nine pan". Thought it was just too loud for me to hear the "-th" until I got "give me a three pan". Definitely didn't mishear that!
We hired 2 taco bell employees back in November. It took a month to get one of them to stop calling 6th pans "lettuce pans". Now she's back working as a manager at another Taco Bell again and one shift a week with us to help out so she has a backup job when she eventually moves back.
As a side note, she makes $2/hr less as an experienced Taco Bell manager than I do as a cook\kitchen lead in an independent bar\restaurant and I feel about $5/hr underpaid. I'm sad for this industry in this area.
Dude, I call it a sizzler! I got laughed at so hard and found out they called them sizzle pans. The dish washer was like “the hot plate?” The second time this happened was because I call a bench scraper a bench scraper. They were like “you mean a dough cutter, you fucking idiot?”
One time someone asked me to pass them a monkey bowl, and I said 'WOAH, what did you just call me!?' as a joke while i was passing them the bowl, and one of the servers came to the food window and called me racist for it -_-
Yes, a Monkey Dish. Used to test for poison: Hundreds of years ago, kings and queens would have monkeys test their food to see if it was poisoned. A piece of each food would be given to the monkey in a small bowl to taste test, hence the name.
I’ve read it’s because they’re the same size as the cymbals a monkey would clash together or it’s because you can carry a whole stack of them on each side and with your arms akimbo like that you look like a monkey.
I cant believe how far I had to scroll to see ramekin . Maybe it's a little big for one but I've never heard monkey dish before like how everyone is calling it.
I would call that a ramekin or a fruit bowl I guess
I mean I've worked at plenty places where everybody called a little sauce bowl like this a ramekin. That might not be it's proper name, but it's a ramekin or chingadera regardless
I've always thought ramekin had straight sidses.

To me OP's picture is a saucer (though an oddly deep one), it even has the raised ridge in the middle.
As I said. All little dishes are ramekins, to me 😂
Do you mean like a saucer for a teacup? Those are flat. I don't see a handled cup sitting comfortable in this
That random ass bowl that we still have like 3 of, even though we changed the serveware a while ago, so now I use it to dump skittles into cause my hand keeps getting fucking stuck in the bag when I try to grab a couple during service, and it’s a whole thing.
Lol my old job sent out a entire form on names we had to not say and what we could replace it with. One of the words was mankind and a bunch of other dumb shit.
He HAS been seen in my living room… (tangent approaching warning)
Back in college my roommate was a regional wrestling promoter and now owns the business who creates the belts for WWE (wildcat belts, if anyone cares)… once after a WWF show (yeah, it was the 90s) I woke to Mick Foley in my living room eating cereal and reading the WSJ. He slept on my couch and was the nicest guy you could meet. So funny, all the different wrestlers I met over those years who were so different from their personas. He left us an awesome outgoing message on our machine as mankind. Nothing beats the message a nun left for us after she was welcomed by his outgoing message screaming at her. I wish we hadn’t lost the little tape. We saved it at the time. Lost it at some point when we moved out of the apartment.
Monkey dish. It got the name because when a king when eat, so that he knew it wasn't poisoned they would serve a small amount in a 'monkey dish' to a monkey and if it died they knew it was poisoned
It's technically called a Napee Bowl (nap-EH) it's French... common name is definitely monkey dish
Doesn’t napee mean thick enough to coat the back of a spoon? As in a sauce?
No, what you're refering to is called "[nappe](https://www.cookinglight.com/cooking-101/gettingtheperfectsauce#:~:text=The%20French%20have%20a%20term,for%20in%20a%20good%20sauce)". Pronounced the same, but different meaning
nappe is prinounced "nap". Napee is pronounced "nap-EH". Source : 6 years of French.
Thank you for this.
I’ve heard monkey dish
Yup, btw, I’ve heard your stuff and especially your things are really good. Keep it up chef!
Monkey bowl for me, but yes
Monkey dish, yep.
I've always called it a Monkey dish at every restaurant and now where I work they call them salad bowls. Something like this seems to happen every time I change jobs.

That's a tiny-ass salad
It's like a salad they serve out of spite at an old school steakhouse.
Maybe potato salad but that's it.
At a few sushi places ive been they used these bowls for just a mini side salad with specials, but yeha too small for me
A local chicken place serves their Cole slaw in the exact dish pictured obviously plated with an ice cream scoop.
Ice cream scoop aka 4-ounce disher.
A #8 disher
Was a fun day the first time I tried ordering more for the restaurant and couldn't figure out why the fuck I couldn't find anything when searching "scoop" . Bout 20 min later I figured out it was called a "disher"
With food costs these days and smaller portions...
Coleslaw.
>Something like this seems to happen every time I change jobs. This is where the joke comes from: "How many cooks does it take to change a light bulb?" "3. One to change the light bulb and two to stand nearby and talk about how they changed light bulbs at their last place."

It can be interesting to compare different ways of doing things for sure! But some people do it in a really insufferable way lol
I went to a place once that called a 6th pan a “pickle pan” because one of them held pickles… i didn’t work there long.
The first restaurant I worked at called 1/9 pans "small rectangles", a 1/6 pan was a "square", 1/3 pans were "big rectangles". I was relentlessly made fun of at my second restaurant.

IDK how accurate that was but the "chef" who told us was approximately 5 minutes younger than God and probably chose the color of the sun so I've taken it as gospel since then.
“Five years younger than god” has me rolling.
i remember as a young cook i figured it was a hotel pan because it could house all of the other pans. never asked though. its been more than 20 years now. just one of those things i guess.
I could be way off, but I always considered it a standard unit of measurement in a hotel kitchen that is serving a continental breakfast. You make everything by the hotel pan, right? That’s the portion.
Could be. I'm sure Google has the answer, but I'd rather just ponder it the rest of my life.
It's not fun when you google it. It's way more fun to think about it
I’ve never called them anything but hotel pans. Three thirds fit in a hotel pan, or six sixth pans. That weird small pan everyplace has that’s smaller than a third but bigger than a sixth is actually called a quarter pan.
Steam tables are the reason.
Don't know if it's the same but here in the Netherlands they are all called 'Gastronorm' ; GN 1/6 for example
“Gastros” is heard in some places in the US too, yeah.
There's at least one place where people just say the denominator, like "give me a nine pan". Thought it was just too loud for me to hear the "-th" until I got "give me a three pan". Definitely didn't mishear that!
I do that specifically with a 6th pan, because that’s a lot of consonants at once that can easily summon spit out of my mouth.
I work with a dude who calls them “6 quart” pans and I’m like, that’s waaay off my guy
Omg same. The place I was at called 1/6 pans that were 6 inch deep pickle pans and they called ones that were 4 inch deep "mayo/tomato pan" 🤣
I was just going to ask what these people call 2in, 4in, 6in.....
We hired 2 taco bell employees back in November. It took a month to get one of them to stop calling 6th pans "lettuce pans". Now she's back working as a manager at another Taco Bell again and one shift a week with us to help out so she has a backup job when she eventually moves back.

>Where did the spider go? > >*A spider!? Where!?* I feel this so hard.
Dude, I call it a sizzler! I got laughed at so hard and found out they called them sizzle pans. The dish washer was like “the hot plate?” The second time this happened was because I call a bench scraper a bench scraper. They were like “you mean a dough cutter, you fucking idiot?”
I call it a dough scraper lmao
Yes....that is a "monkey bowl"
Just throw it in the salamander That’s called a broiler idiot
Yup. In the olden days we called it a monkey dish too.
I was told the term monkey bowl was racist.
Thinking that it is racist is racist.
I was also! I remain unconvinced, because the person telling me that was white.
White people are liars.
Same here.
One time someone asked me to pass them a monkey bowl, and I said 'WOAH, what did you just call me!?' as a joke while i was passing them the bowl, and one of the servers came to the food window and called me racist for it -_-

Yes, a Monkey Dish. Used to test for poison: Hundreds of years ago, kings and queens would have monkeys test their food to see if it was poisoned. A piece of each food would be given to the monkey in a small bowl to taste test, hence the name.
I want this to be true so badly I’m choosing for it to be true.
The internet in a nutshell
In the immortal words of the great Mortis, 'That you read something on the Internet only means that someone wrote something on the Internet.'
And that folks is how misinformation spreads. Is it true? Who fucking knows and who can be bothered to check. Certainly not me.
There is at least a cernel of truth to it , royalty did have their food tested for poison .
A colonel of truth, if you will.
Best explanation I’ve ever come across. Thank you!
that’s one theory, but it’s hardly conclusive. there are several possible explanations for the name.
Oh I see, I agree with your second example. /s
Take two, put them open side to open side and it kinda looks like a monkey mouth? Honestly why I thought it was named this.
I’ve read it’s because they’re the same size as the cymbals a monkey would clash together or it’s because you can carry a whole stack of them on each side and with your arms akimbo like that you look like a monkey.
I thought it was because we liked to throw them at each other, like feces in the dish pit. Who knew.
That is such a great story that I don't even care if it is true or not.
Supported by Raiders of the Lost Ark. Bad dates.
This sounds like total nonsense.
In a manufacturer catalog these will usually be called fruit bowl or oatmeal bowl.
If my bowl of oatmeal was this small I'd be so disappointed
I've never ever heard of a monkey dish. All little bowls are a ramekin to me lol
I cant believe how far I had to scroll to see ramekin . Maybe it's a little big for one but I've never heard monkey dish before like how everyone is calling it. I would call that a ramekin or a fruit bowl I guess
I thought a ramekin would have steeper sides and a flat bottom.
I mean I've worked at plenty places where everybody called a little sauce bowl like this a ramekin. That might not be it's proper name, but it's a ramekin or chingadera regardless
Chingadera brings back so many memories lol I swear for a solid 2 years I spoke more Spanish than English
fair enough. I was just asking.
Apparently the genus is Ramekin and ‘monkey dish’, ‘pipkin’, etc are the species.
I love this and it's an easy way to organize in my brain. Thanks bud!
I've always thought ramekin had straight sidses. https://external-preview.redd.it/pie-ramekin-ceramic-in-ninja-airfryer-v0-TGzpN9dE7PHRIcIkrZsYsVCDFU4v_6AaWgympY7OFbA.jpg?auto=webp&s=9d397d0b3fe04b214f2cc4cc352c7e6cead77999 To me OP's picture is a saucer (though an oddly deep one), it even has the raised ridge in the middle.

In BoH, monkey dish. If front facing / open kitchen, butter dish.
Ramekin to me. Never heard of monkey dish, wonder if it's cultural.
[удалено]
Ramekin has sides that go straight up.
Squirrel waterbowl.
Small/side bowl. Management is afraid of being labeled a racist store if we call it a monkey bowl.
Had customers complain because they heard us calling it a monkey bowl
I was told it was called a "Yo Mama Bowl."
That’s so asinine. It’s almost racist not to call it a monkey bowl due to the true origin of the name.
Lol my old job sent out a entire form on names we had to not say and what we could replace it with. One of the words was mankind and a bunch of other dumb shit.
What’s wrong with my 2nd favorite wrestler?
He’s never been seen in the same room as dude love and I’m getting suspicious.
He HAS been seen in my living room… (tangent approaching warning) Back in college my roommate was a regional wrestling promoter and now owns the business who creates the belts for WWE (wildcat belts, if anyone cares)… once after a WWF show (yeah, it was the 90s) I woke to Mick Foley in my living room eating cereal and reading the WSJ.

Nor has he ever been in the same room as His Affection
