Product Information

Full details

The Olympia Wide Rim Rectangular Platter is a robust serving solution engineered for high-volume commercial kitchens and busy catering environments that require professional-grade reliability. Constructed from super vitrified porcelain with reinforced rolled edges, this platter excels at resisting chips and thermal shock during intense daily use. While its generous 400x295mm footprint provides ample space for elaborate presentations, users should account for the larger storage space required to accommodate its substantial rectangular dimensions.

FAQs

Is this platter safe for use in a salamander grill?

Yes, the super vitrified porcelain is designed to withstand typical commercial oven temperatures, including salamander grills, provided it is not placed in direct contact with the heating element.

Can I use this for hot and cold food interchangeably?

Yes, its vitrified construction is resistant to thermal shock, making it suitable for moving between freezer and oven environments.

How should I store these platters to prevent chipping?

The platters are designed to be stacked. To minimize chipping, stack them vertically on a flat surface and avoid sliding them against each other.

What are the exact dimensions?

The platter measures 400mm in length and 295mm in width.

Is the finish prone to staining?

While the porcelain is non-porous, highly pigmented ingredients like turmeric or heavy balsamic reductions should be washed off promptly to maintain the crisp white appearance.

Troubleshooting

Surface marks or gray streaks appearing on the porcelain

These are often metal transfer marks from cutlery. Use a mild porcelain cleaner or a soft paste of baking soda and water to gently buff the marks away.

Platter feels slippery when wet

The wide rim is designed for grip, but ensure hands and the underside of the rim are dry before lifting to ensure a secure hold.

Difficulty fitting into the dishwasher

Due to the 400mm length, place the platter diagonally in the dishwasher rack if it does not fit standard alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to chipping thanks to reinforced edges
  • Extreme thermal versatility for oven, freezer, and microwave use
  • Dishwasher safe for rapid cleaning cycles
  • Space-saving stackable architecture
  • Durable commercial-grade vitrified porcelain

Cons

  • Large footprint may not fit in smaller domestic microwave ovens
  • Substantial weight due to heavy-duty construction
  • White finish requires consistent cleaning to prevent surface staining from dark sauces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of your Olympia platter, ensure that stacks are not placed too high to prevent tipping or accidental impact. While the porcelain is dishwasher safe, avoid overloading the rack to prevent ceramic-on-ceramic contact that could cause microscopic abrasion over time. When using in a commercial oven, ensure the surface is not subjected to direct flames. For cleaning, standard mild detergents are sufficient; avoid harsh abrasive scouring pads which can dull the gloss finish of the glaze. If the platter is used in a freezer, allow it to reach room temperature before applying extreme direct heat to minimize the risk of thermal shock.
