- Top Marks: Its shatterproof nature is a huge operational plus, saving money and hassle.
- Heads Up: Avoid abrasive scourers to keep it looking crystal clear for longer.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Hotel in Brighton was looking to upgrade its room service equipment. Their old ceramic plate covers were heavy, prone to chipping, and expensive to replace, causing delays and affecting presentation.
"Switching to these polycarbonate covers was a brilliant move. They're so much lighter for the team to handle, especially on large orders, and we've not had a single breakage in six months. Our food presentation has remained top-notch, and our costs are down. Simple, but effective."
Laura Davies – Head of Hospitality
The hotel has eliminated replacement costs for plate covers entirely and reported a significant improvement in staff satisfaction due to the lighter equipment.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the cover a good wash with warm, soapy water or run it through a dishwasher cycle.
- Check that the 260mm diameter provides a good fit for your primary dinner plates.
- Brief your team on their new lightweight and durable nature – no need to handle them with excessive care!
Keeping It Going
- To maintain its crystal-clear finish, always wash with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
- Avoid harsh scouring pads or abrasive chemical cleaners, as these can cause fine scratches.
- The Olympia Kristallon DP791 plate cover is fully commercial dishwasher safe, making sanitation simple.
- Stack them neatly when dry to protect the surfaces and save valuable shelf space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this plate cover microwave safe?
A: No, it is not recommended for use in a microwave. It is designed for covering hot food, not for reheating it.
Q: How well does it keep food warm?
A: Very well. The dome shape traps steam and heat, keeping food at a pleasant serving temperature for longer than an uncovered plate.
Q: What is the exact internal diameter?
A: It is designed to comfortably cover plates up to 260mm (10 2/3 inches) in diameter.
Q: Can these covers be stacked?
A: Yes, they are designed with a shape that allows them to be stacked securely on top of one another to save space.
Q: Will it scratch easily?
A: Polycarbonate is very tough, but it can be scratched by sharp objects or abrasive cleaning pads. We recommend using soft cloths for cleaning.
Q: Is it heavy like a glass cloche?
A: Not at all. At only 0.19kg, it is incredibly lightweight, making it easy for staff to handle throughout a long shift.
Q: What is 'Kristallon'?
A: Kristallon is Olympia's signature range of high-quality, durable, and stylish polycarbonate tableware designed for the demands of the catering industry.
Q: Will strong-coloured foods like curry or bolognese stain it?
A: Polycarbonate is highly resistant to staining, but for best results, we advise washing the cover promptly after use with pigmented foods.

So, what exactly is polycarbonate and why is it so good for a kitchen? Think of it as the superhero of plastics. It’s the same ultra-durable material used to make protective visors and shatterproof windows. In the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of a commercial kitchen, a traditional glass plate cover is an accident waiting to happen—one slip means a loud crash, potentially wasted food, and a safety hazard. This polycarbonate dome gives you the same elegant, clear look of glass but is virtually indestructible. If a staff member drops it, it'll likely just bounce. For your business, this translates directly into no replacement costs, no service interruptions, and a much safer environment for your hard-working team.
