- Lids Separate: Remember to order compatible lids if you need them for overnight storage.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Bay Tree Café in Aberystwyth wanted to refresh its chilled counter, moving away from a mix of ceramic and glass bowls that were heavy and prone to chipping.
"We switched to these Olympia Kristallon crocks and our display immediately looked more professional and uniform. They are so much lighter for staff to handle during busy lunch rushes, and they clean up brilliantly. Our salad bar has never looked better."
Owen Davies – Manager
The change led to a more efficient restocking process and a noticeable lift in the sales of their fresh salads and side dishes.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Ensure the crock is completely dry before filling with food to maintain freshness.
- Perfect for use in chilled display counters or for refrigerated storage.
- Avoid using directly on hot plates or under intense heat lamps to prevent damage.
Keeping It Going
- Completely dishwasher safe for a quick, hygienic clean after service.
- For any stubborn food residue, use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid using sharp metal utensils like knives or forks to serve, as this can scratch the surface.
- Stack carefully when dry to protect the rims and save valuable shelf space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this container airtight?
A: The crock itself is not airtight. For a tighter seal for storage, you would need to purchase a compatible lid separately.
Q: Can I use this in the microwave?
A: No, it is not recommended for microwave use. It is designed for serving and storage in temperatures between 0°C and 80°C.
Q: Is the material BPA-free?
A: Yes, Olympia's food-grade SAN plastic containers are BPA-free, making them completely safe for direct food contact.
Q: Will it stain with foods like tomato sauce or curry?
A: SAN plastic is highly stain-resistant, performing much better than standard plastics, which makes it great for displaying colourful foods.
Q: How durable is it? Will it crack if I drop it?
A: It's designed for the rigours of a commercial kitchen and is very shatter-resistant, holding up well to everyday bumps and knocks.
Q: Can I put hot, just-cooked food in it?
A: It's rated up to 80°C, so it can handle very warm food, but it is not designed for holding food at boiling temperatures or on a hot plate.
Q: Are these stackable?
A: Yes, the design allows them to be stacked neatly when not in use, helping to save valuable storage space in your kitchen or stockroom.
Q: What is the difference between this and a regular plastic tub?
A: This is made from commercial-grade SAN plastic, which is far more durable, stain-resistant, and clear than standard domestic plastic containers.

Ever wondered what 'SAN' plastic is? Think of it as the sensible, tougher cousin to standard household plastic. It's a type of polycarbonate specifically engineered to be more rigid, more resistant to heat, and much less likely to stain from tricky ingredients like beetroot or tomato-based sauces. Imagine your typical food container, but built for professional life – it won't warp in a commercial dishwasher or get that cloudy, scratched look after a few weeks. This means your Kristallon polycarbonate salad container stays looking pristine for longer, protecting your investment and your business's image.
