Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Bistro in Bath was looking to refresh their tableware to better match their vibrant, modern British menu. Their standard white ramekins felt dated and were prone to chipping, so they decided to invest in the Olympia CU186 ramekin set.
"The moment we unboxed them, we knew we'd made the right choice. The colour is fantastic and they're so much tougher than our old dishes. Our sticky toffee puddings have never looked better, and our customers constantly comment on how lovely they are."
Robert Finch – Owner
The bistro noted a significant uplift in social media tags for their desserts and a measurable 10% increase in dessert orders within two months of the switch.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give all ramekins a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Inspect each piece for any imperfections or damage that may have occurred during shipping.
- Familiarise staff with their oven-safe properties but remind them to use oven gloves as they get extremely hot.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent thermal shock and potential cracking, avoid taking a ramekin directly from the freezer or fridge and placing it into a hot oven. Allow it to come closer to room temperature first.
- Although they are designed to be stackable, avoid clanking them together. Place them carefully to protect the rolled edges.
- When loading into a dishwasher, ensure they are spaced out properly to allow water jets to clean them effectively without them knocking against other items.

The Olympia Promise: Durability Meets Design
Choosing Olympia for your tableware is about more than just buying a product; it's an investment in consistency and reliability. For years, Olympia has been a trusted name in the UK's hospitality industry, known for producing crockery that can genuinely withstand the relentless demands of a professional service.

It's the kind of smart, practical decision that helps a busy food business run more smoothly.

You see 'fully vitrified' mentioned, but what does it actually mean? In simple terms, vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature until it becomes glass-like and non-porous. This is what gives these commercial oven safe ramekins their superpowers.
Think of it like this: a normal ceramic plate is a bit like a sponge. It can absorb tiny amounts of water, grease, and even flavours over time. A vitrified dish, however, is like a solid piece of glass. Nothing gets in. This means it's far more hygienic, won't stain, and will never have that 'ghost' flavour of yesterday's curry. The BS4034 standard is the official British benchmark for this, guaranteeing exceptional water resistance and durability, making it perfect for the rigours of any professional kitchen.
