- Top-Notch Durability: The rolled edges and vitrified body genuinely resist chipping during busy service.
- Specific Sizing: Perfect for fondants or sauces, but too small for larger puddings.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling tearoom in the heart of Bath, needed to upgrade its tired, chipped white ramekins. They wanted something that was not only more durable but also complemented their modern, fresh interior décor.
"These mint ramekins are an absolute delight. They’ve survived countless cycles in our commercial dishwasher and still look brand new. The colour is stunning and our customers often comment on how lovely our cream teas are presented. They're far tougher than our old ones."
Clara Williams – Owner
After three months, The Copper Kettle reported a 30% reduction in crockery breakages and a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and give all six ramekins a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Inspect each piece to ensure there's been no damage during transit.
- Find a home for them on a shelf where they can be stacked neatly to prevent accidental knocks.
Keeping It Going
- These are fully commercial dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleaning.
- To avoid thermal shock (which can cause cracking), let them cool down before rinsing with cold water.
- While tough, avoid using metal scourers or harsh abrasives to maintain their smooth, glazed finish.
- Stack them carefully, aligning the edges to prevent chipping and maximise stability.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified' Actually Mean For Your Kitchen?
You see 'vitrified porcelain' mentioned a lot, but what is it? In simple terms, it means the ramekin has been fired in the kiln at an extremely high temperature. This process melts the clay and silica, fusing them together into a single, glass-like (vitreous) material. This makes the ramekin non-porous, so it won’t absorb water, grease, or odours from food.
Think of it like the difference between a normal sponge and a waterproof jacket. A standard, non-vitrified ceramic pot is slightly porous and can absorb moisture over time, leading to stains or weakness. These Olympia mint porcelain cups, being fully vitrified, are like that jacket – liquids and oils just sit on the surface, making them far more hygienic, stain-resistant, and incredibly difficult to crack. It’s the secret behind their long-lasting performance in tough environments.
