Expert Review and Insights
The Kristallon range has always been a go-to for high-traffic environments, and these bowls are a prime example of why. They solve a real, everyday problem for caterers – breakages. The finish is clean, the colour is cheerful, and their sheer resilience makes them a no-brainer for any operation where standard ceramics just wouldn't last the week.
Emily Hart – Tableware View Profile →
- Top Marks for Toughness: These are genuinely hard to break, perfect for schools and outdoor events.
- Watch for Scratches: Heavy use with sharp cutlery may cause superficial scratches over time.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A busy seaside café in Newquay was struggling with the high turnover of their ceramic side bowls, which were frequently chipped by staff or broken by customers dining on the outdoor terrace. They needed a more robust solution that still looked presentable.
"We switched to the Kristallon green bowls six months ago and the difference is incredible. They look smart, our customers love the bright colour, and we haven't had to throw a single one away due to breakage. They've paid for themselves already in savings."
Robert Evans – Owner, The Anchor Café
Since making the change, the café has eliminated its budget for replacement side bowls, saving an estimated £400 per year.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the bowls a good wash in warm, soapy water or a run through the dishwasher before their first use.
- Plan your storage – their stackable design means they fit neatly on shelves or in drawers.
- If using for colour-coding, make sure staff are briefed on which colour represents which food type.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid scratching, use soft cloths or non-abrasive scouring pads for any stubborn food residue.
- While tough, try to avoid using sharp, serrated knives directly in the bowls to maintain their smooth finish.
- Ensure bowls are completely dry before stacking them for long periods to prevent them from sticking together.
- Regularly check your dishwasher's rinse aid levels to prevent water spots and keep the bowls sparkling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bowls completely unbreakable?
A: They are what we call 'virtually unbreakable' in a normal catering environment. They can withstand being dropped from height onto hard floors without shattering, unlike ceramic. However, they can be damaged by extreme force.
Q: Can I use these bowls in the microwave?
A: It's not recommended. Polycarbonate is not designed for use in microwaves, and it could warp or damage the material over time.
Q: Do they stain easily with foods like curry or bolognese?
A: Polycarbonate is highly stain-resistant. However, for best results, we advise against leaving brightly coloured or oily foods in them for extended periods. A quick rinse or prompt wash is always best.
Q: Are these bowls BPA-free?
A: Yes, all commercial-grade polycarbonate tableware from reputable brands like Olympia is manufactured to be BPA-free, adhering to food safety standards.
Q: What does 'dishwasher safe' actually mean for a commercial kitchen?
A: It means the bowls are built to withstand the high temperatures, powerful water jets, and strong detergents used in commercial dishwashers, cycle after cycle, without losing their shape or colour.
Q: How can I stop them from scratching?
A: The best way is to avoid using sharp, serrated metal cutlery in them. For cleaning, always use non-abrasive cloths or sponges rather than harsh steel wool.
Q: Why do they sometimes stick together when stacked?
A: This can happen if they are stacked while still slightly wet, creating a vacuum seal. Simply ensure they are completely dry before stacking to prevent this.
Q: How much do they hold in fluid ounces?
A: The 190ml capacity is equivalent to approximately 6.7 fluid ounces, making them ideal for portion control.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just Plastic: The Polycarbonate Advantage
When you see 'polycarbonate', don't just think of it as ordinary plastic. It's a high-performance polymer from the same family of materials used to make shatterproof safety glasses and protective visors. Think of it as the superhero of the plastics world; it has incredible hidden strength and impact resistance that standard plastics simply can't match. For your business, this means two things: safety and savings. When a bowl is dropped, it won't shatter into dangerous, sharp pieces like glass or ceramic would, protecting both your staff and customers. And because it's so tough, you'll be replacing items far less often, which is fantastic news for your bottom line.
Who Should Buy This?
- Schools & Nurseries: A safe, colourful, and virtually unbreakable option for serving meals and snacks to children.
- Buffet Restaurants & Hotels: Ideal for high-volume buffet lines for serving sides, sauces, or individual desserts without risk.
- Mobile & Event Caterers: Lightweight and shatterproof, making them perfect for safe and easy transport to any location.
