FAQs

Can this container be used in a commercial blast chiller?

Yes, it is designed for freezer environments, but avoid immediate transitions to high heat to prevent thermal shock.

Is the Olympia Whiteware range dishwasher safe?

Yes, these containers are designed to withstand the rigours of commercial dishwashers.

Does this dish contain lead or cadmium?

Olympia Whiteware is manufactured to be safe for food contact; please check the product packaging for specific compliance certifications.

What is the exact depth of the pan?

The pan has a height of 30mm.

Will this fit in a standard 1/1 GN rack?

Yes, two 1/2 GN containers will fit perfectly side-by-side in a standard 1/1 GN space.

Troubleshooting

Stubborn baked-on food residues

Soak the dish in warm soapy water rather than using abrasive wire scrubbers, which can dull the glaze.

Dish feels unstable in buffet frame

Ensure the serving frame is level and that there is no debris underneath the bottom rim of the dish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant presentation for buffet or service environments
  • Compatible with a wide range of kitchen appliances
  • Reinforced edges enhance durability
  • Non-reactive surface ideal for all food types
  • Standardized sizing ensures easy integration with existing GN equipment

Cons

  • Heavier than traditional stainless steel alternatives
  • Vulnerable to impact damage if dropped on hard surfaces
  • Requires careful stacking to prevent edge chipping
  • Ceramic does not conduct heat as rapidly as metal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This container is designed to drop directly into standard 1/2 GN bain-marie frames or refrigerated buffet units.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Although dishwasher safe, avoid nesting them too tightly with metal utensils to prevent surface scuffs or edge chips.
  • Handling: While the edges are reinforced, always place the container down gently on granite or stainless work surfaces.
  • Thermal Shock: While oven and freezer safe, allow the dish to reach room temperature before transitioning between extreme environments to prevent stress fractures.
