FAQs
Is the Olympia Ceramic Roasting Dish freezer safe?
While the dish is oven and microwave safe, we recommend avoiding extreme temperature shifts, such as moving it directly from the freezer to a hot oven, to avoid thermal shock.
What are the exact dimensions of the dish?
The dish measures 90(H) x 325(W) x 176(D)mm.
Can I use metal utensils with this ceramic dish?
While ceramic is durable, we recommend using silicone, wood, or plastic utensils to prevent surface scratches and maintain the aesthetic finish.
Does the dish fit a standard GN tray system?
Yes, it is designed to fit a 1/3 sized GN footprint, making it perfect for modular service.
How do I best transport the dish when hot?
Use the built-in round ears on the sides, which are shaped to accommodate kitchen gloves for a secure, non-slip grip.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn burnt-on food residue
Soak the dish in warm, soapy water for 30 minutes before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive nylon pad.
Surface feels slippery when wet
Always ensure your hands and the round ears of the dish are thoroughly dried before attempting to transport it from the oven.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Olympia roasting dish, avoid drastic thermal shock; do not move the dish directly from a freezer to a hot oven, as the ceramic may crack. For daily care, the dish is fully dishwasher safe, though hand washing with non-abrasive cloths can preserve the surface gloss over time. When using in a commercial kitchen, ensure the dish is placed securely within 1/3 size GN racks or on level oven shelving. Always use heat-resistant gloves when removing the dish from the oven, and place it on a heat-proof mat or wooden board rather than a cold stone or metal surface to prevent thermal stress.
