Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Inn, a busy gastropub in Aberdeenshire, was struggling with their ovenware constantly cracking under the pressure of a busy service. They needed a more robust, presentable solution for their popular oven-baked dishes.
"We were replacing our oven dishes every couple of months; it was a false economy. These Olympia roasters are tough as nails but still look smart on the table. Our pot wash team is happier, and so is my budget. A brilliant piece of kit."
Ewan McGregor – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a significant drop in breakages, cutting their crockery replacement costs by over 50% in the first year.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the dishes a good wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Check each dish for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit.
- These are designed for stacking, but for long-term storage, placing a paper napkin between each one helps prevent scuffs.
Keeping It Going
- To remove stubborn baked-on food, soak in warm water rather than using harsh metal scourers.
- While heat and shock resistant, try to avoid extreme temperature changes, like plunging a hot dish into cold water.
- The porcelain is tough, but load it into the dishwasher carefully to avoid knocking it against other items.
- The vitrified body resists stains brilliantly, but it's always good practice to rinse off rich or acidic sauces after service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use these dishes on a hob?
A: No, these are designed for oven, microwave, and freezer use only. Direct heat from a hob can cause them to crack.
Q: What does 'eared' mean on this square catering baking dish?
A: The 'ears' are the small, integrated handles on each side. They provide a much safer and more secure grip for lifting the hot dish from the oven.
Q: Is porcelain better than metal for roasting?
A: It depends on the task. Porcelain heats evenly and retains that heat beautifully, making it excellent for baking and serving. Metal is often preferred for high-heat searing and browning of meats.
Q: How many dishes are in one pack?
A: This product is sold as a convenient pack of three individual roaster dishes, offering great value.
Q: What is the exact capacity of one dish?
A: Each dish has a capacity of 0.74 litres, which is ideal for a generous single portion of a main course or a side dish for two.
Q: Will the white finish stain over time with things like tomato sauce?
A: No, the vitrified porcelain body is non-porous, which means it is highly resistant to staining from foods and colourful sauces.
Q: What does the BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware standard guarantee?
A: It's a British Standard that certifies the crockery has very low water absorption and high durability, specifically confirming it is suitable for the rigours of the professional hospitality industry.
Q: Are these dishes heavy to carry?
A: The total weight for the box of three is 2.46kg. Each individual dish is robust and has a reassuring heft without being unmanageably heavy for staff.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified to BS4034' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You'll see 'vitrified' mentioned a lot with professional crockery, but what is it? Think of it as toughening up standard porcelain. During manufacturing, the dish is fired at an incredibly high temperature, which melts the clay and silica into a glass-like, non-porous state. This process is what gives this Olympia whiteware roasting pan its superpowers.
It’s like turning a regular t-shirt into a waterproof jacket. Because it’s non-porous, it won't absorb water, grease, or odours from rich sauces. It also makes the dish much, much stronger and more resistant to chipping. The BS4034 standard is simply the official seal of approval that it meets these tough requirements for hospitality use, guaranteeing a low water absorption rate and durability. So, you’re not just buying a dish; you’re buying peace of mind.
