Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Kristallon range is a go-to for any operator who values practicality. These plates are a prime example of smart design; they have the clean, crisp appearance of ceramic but the resilience of a heavyweight champion.

Emily Hart – Tableware View Profile →
- Practical Powerhouse: They're exceptionally durable, which dramatically cuts down on replacement costs over time.
- Heat Sensitive: Just remember they're not for ovens or microwaves; keep them for serving.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Room, a bustling community cafe in Cardiff, was struggling with the cost and hassle of constantly replacing their chipped ceramic side plates.
"We were spending a small fortune replacing crockery every month. The Olympia melamine plates have been a revelation – they still look brand new after months of heavy use, countless drops, and endless dishwasher cycles. The staff love how light they are, too."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Garden Room
The switch completely eliminated their budget for replacement side plates, saving the cafe over £300 in the first six months alone.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give all plates a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before their first use to remove any residue from manufacturing.
- Upon delivery, quickly check all plates to ensure they have arrived in perfect condition.
- Designate a clean, dry storage space away from direct heat sources to keep them pristine.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are fully commercial dishwasher safe for a quick and hygienic clean.
- Avoid using serrated knives directly on the surface, as this may cause scratches over time.
- Never use in conventional ovens or microwaves, as high heat can damage the material and cause it to warp.
- To remove stubborn stains from things like curry or tomato, use a non-abrasive cream cleaner or a specialised melamine cleaner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed to withstand the high temperatures and rigorous cycles of commercial dishwashers for fast and easy cleaning.
Q: Can I use these plates in a microwave?
A: No, melamine material is not suitable for microwave use. The heat can cause the material to warp, blister, or crack.
Q: What does 'chip resistant' actually mean?
A: It means the material is highly durable and far less likely to chip or crack from everyday knocks, drops, and stacking compared to standard ceramic or porcelain.
Q: Are these plates heavy like porcelain?
A: No, one of the key benefits of melamine is that it's significantly lighter than porcelain, making it much easier and safer for staff to handle in bulk.
Q: What is the exact diameter of these plates?
A: These are 165mm, or approximately 6 ¼ inches, in diameter. They're perfect for use as commercial melamine side plates or for starters and desserts.
Q: How many plates come in one pack?
A: They are conveniently sold in a box of 12 plates, offering great value for a full setup or for topping up your existing stock.
Q: Will they stain easily from foods like curry or tomato sauce?
A: These plates are stain-resistant. For best results and to keep them looking their best, simply rinse them after use before they go into the dishwasher.
Q: Is the surface completely smooth?
A: Yes, they feature a smooth, high-gloss finish that closely resembles the look and feel of traditional porcelain, but with all the added benefits of melamine.

This underlying reliability is the hallmark of the Olympia brand, making these Kristallon CB670 plates a trusted tool for the UK's busiest commercial kitchens.
Explore more from OlympiaThe Melamine Advantage: Why It's Smarter Than Ceramic
Ever wondered what makes melamine so tough? It's a special type of hard plastic resin that's incredibly durable. Think of it like the difference between a glass phone screen and one with a high-quality screen protector. Traditional ceramic is like the unprotected glass – it looks lovely, but one bad drop or clumsy knock and it’s shattered. Melamine, on the other hand, is that tough, resilient protector. It's designed to absorb the knocks and bumps of a busy service, resisting the chips and cracks where ceramic would fail. This means you get the classic, weighty feel and clean look of porcelain without the constant cost and hassle of replacing broken items. It's a simple material choice that delivers huge operational benefits.
