- Con: The bright yellow might not suit more traditional, rustic restaurant decors.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of York, was looking to upgrade their dessert presentation and find dishes that could withstand their high-volume service. Their old ramekins were chipping and showing their age.
"These Olympia ramekins are brilliant. They go straight from a hot oven to the customer's table, they look fantastic, and they've survived countless cycles in the dishwasher without a single mark. It's cut our plating time down significantly for our signature sticky toffee puddings."
Robert Davies – Owner
The change resulted in a smoother workflow, reducing dessert plating time by over 40% during the busy lunch rush and elevating their table presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give them a good wash in hot, soapy water before their first use.
- Check each ramekin carefully upon delivery to ensure there's no damage from transit.
- Being stackable, find them a home on your shelves where they can be stored safely and neatly.
Keeping It Going
- Although tough, avoid extreme and sudden temperature changes (e.g., from freezer straight into a pre-heated oven) to prevent thermal shock.
- When stacking, do so carefully to protect the rolled edges.
- To clean, simply place in the dishwasher or wash by hand with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
- For stubborn baked-on food, soak in warm, soapy water before washing.

A: The strengthened, rolled edges provide extra durability where it's needed most, significantly reducing the chance of chipping during daily use and washing.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified Porcelain' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
Ever wondered what 'vitrified' really means? Think of it as giving porcelain a suit of armour. During manufacturing, the dish is fired at an incredibly high temperature until it becomes 'vitrified' – which basically means it's no longer porous and has a glass-like quality. For you, this means it won't absorb moisture, flavours, or odours from food. That curry-spiced dip you served yesterday won't leave a ghost of its flavour in tomorrow's vanilla custard. It also makes the porcelain much, much stronger and more resistant to chips and cracks, which is exactly what you need in a demanding kitchen environment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bistros & Restaurants: Perfect for presenting signature hot desserts like chocolate fondants or individual crumbles with professional flair.
- Cafés & Tea Rooms: An ideal and colourful vessel for serving mousses, possets, or even sides of coleslaw and dips.
