How Olympia Buffet Ware Works

Olympia buffet ware operates on simple yet effective principles. Most pieces feature premium stainless steel construction with clever heat management—chafing dishes use water baths heated by fuel cells or electricity to create gentle, even warming that prevents food from drying out. Cold displays incorporate ice beds or cooling elements to maintain safe temperatures for salads and desserts. Many pieces are modular, allowing you to configure displays to suit your space and menu. The stackable designs mean you can create impressive multi-level presentations while special lids and covers maintain food quality and freshness throughout service—essential for busy hotels and restaurants!

Top Tips for Using Olympia Buffet Ware

For flawless buffet service, preheat your chafing dishes with hot water for 15 minutes before adding food pans to ensure even heating from the start. Always use the correct water level in chafing dish bases—too little and you risk scorching, too much and heating is inefficient. Rotate food regularly during service and use roll-top lids to maintain temperature while reducing condensation. For ice displays, ensure proper drainage to prevent melted ice from making food soggy, and consider garnish trays to add visual appeal to your presentation.
