Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Gull, a popular seafood bistro in Whitby, decided their old white plates no longer matched their vibrant, modern menu. They needed dinnerware that was tough enough for hundreds of covers a day but also complemented their fresh, colourful dishes.

"We were constantly replacing chipped plates. Since switching to the Olympia Mineral range, our breakages have plummeted. They look incredible, and our customers constantly comment on them. They just make the food pop, and the durability is second to none."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

The bistro reported a significant drop in their monthly crockery budget and noted a marked increase in food photos being shared by customers on social media.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

You'll see the term 'fully vitrified' on a lot of high-quality crockery, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C!) until the clay particles literally fuse together and become glass-like. This closes up all the tiny, natural pores in the clay.

Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a pane of glass. Water, oils, and food particles can soak into a sponge, but they just slide right off glass. Because vitrified porcelain is non-porous, it doesn't absorb moisture, flavours, or odours. This makes it far more hygienic, much more resistant to stains, and significantly stronger against chipping and thermal shock from a hot dishwasher or microwave. It's the secret sauce that gives professional crockery its incredible durability.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
Give all plates a thorough wash in a dishwasher or by hand with detergent before their first use.
Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage that can handle the weight of stacked plates.

Keeping It Going

When loading into a dishwasher, use proper plate racks to prevent items from knocking against each other.
To prevent scratches, avoid sliding plates over one another when stacking; lift them directly up.
While very durable, avoid using abrasive scourers which could dull the glazed surface over time.
Remember, normal-use edge chips are covered by the warranty, giving you extra confidence every service.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure which dinnerware is right for your venue? It's a big decision that impacts your look, budget, and operations. Here are a few key things to consider.

Material Matters

Porcelain is the professional's choice for a reason. It's fired at high temperatures, making it stronger and more durable than earthenware or standard stoneware. Look for 'vitrified' for the best performance.

Shape and Style

Coupe plates (like this one) offer a modern, borderless canvas perfect for creative plating. Rimmed plates are more traditional and can be better for containing sauces.

Durability is Key

In a commercial setting, durability is non-negotiable. Look for features like rolled edges and, ideally, an edge-chip warranty. It's a clear sign of a manufacturer's confidence in their product.

Complement Your Menu

Does the plate's colour and style enhance your food? A dark plate like this Mineral grey makes vibrant ingredients pop, while a simple white plate is a timeless classic.

Day-to-Day Practicality

Always check if the tableware is stackable, dishwasher safe, and microwave/oven safe. These features are crucial for a smooth and efficient kitchen workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates sold individually or in a set?

A: These Olympia DF183 plates are sold in a box of 6, perfect for professional kitchens.

Q: What exactly is a 'furnace reacted glaze'?

A: It's a special glazing process that reacts differently on each plate in the kiln, creating a unique, speckled finish. This means no two plates are ever identical.

Q: Is the surface of the plate completely smooth?

A: The glaze gives the plate a very subtle texture, which adds to its rustic charm, but it is smooth enough for cutlery to glide over easily without scraping.

Q: What does the 'Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty' actually cover?

A: It covers chipping on the rolled edge of the plate that occurs under normal food service use. It's a testament to the product's durability.

Q: Are they heavy to carry in a stack?

A: They are made from substantial porcelain so have a quality weight, but are designed for professional use. The total box weight is 4.12kg for 6 plates.

Q: What does BS4034 certification mean?

A: This is a British Standard that specifies the durability and performance requirements for professional catering and hotel tableware, covering water absorption and resistance to chipping.

Q: Will the colour fade after many washes in a commercial dishwasher?

A: No, the colour is locked in by the vitrification process. These plates are designed to withstand the rigours of repeated commercial dishwashing without fading.

Q: Can I use these plates under a high-heat salamander grill?

A: While they are oven safe for warming and cooking, they are not designed for the intense, direct heat of a salamander grill.
