- Incredibly Tough: These forks genuinely resist snapping, making them far safer than standard plastic.
- Basic Feel: They lack the weight and premium feel of stainless steel cutlery.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A bustling community centre in Bristol was struggling with the continuous cost and waste of replacing broken plastic cutlery in its public café. They needed a safer, more sustainable solution that could handle hundreds of daily users, including children and elderly visitors.
"We switched to the Olympia Kristallon forks and the difference was immediate. They've paid for themselves already. We're not constantly finding broken shards in the wash-up, and our patrons find them much easier to use than flimsy disposables. It's one less thing for us to worry about."
Robert Davies – Centre Manager
The centre completely eliminated cutlery breakage in the first six months, leading to a significant reduction in their annual supplies budget.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the forks through a full wash cycle in your dishwasher.
- Give them a quick visual check upon arrival to ensure there's no damage from transit.
- If using for allergen control, designate this colour to a specific food group immediately.
Keeping It Going
- Load into a cutlery basket in your dishwasher to ensure a thorough clean.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals which can dull the surface over time.
- Do not expose to direct heat sources like a naked flame or hotplate.
- To remove stubborn stains from foods like tomato or curry, a pre-soak can be effective.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these forks completely unbreakable?
A: They are described as 'virtually unbreakable' because they are incredibly tough and resistant to snapping under normal use. While extreme force could eventually break them, they will not shatter like standard plastic.
Q: Can I use them to cook with in a microwave?
A: No, they are only suitable for reheating food in a microwave. They should not be used for primary cooking or be left in a microwave for extended periods.
Q: Do they stain easily from foods like bolognese or curry?
A: Like many plastic-based materials, strong pigments in some foods can cause light staining over time. Washing them promptly after use can help minimise this.
Q: What does 'Box Qty: 12' mean? Do I get 12 forks?
A: Yes, exactly. When you order one unit of this product, you will receive a box containing 12 individual yellow forks.
Q: Are these a good size for children to use?
A: Yes, at 17cm long and being very lightweight, they are an excellent and safe choice for primary school-aged children.
Q: Will they melt in a commercial dishwasher?
A: No, they are rated to withstand temperatures up to +100°C, making them perfectly safe for all commercial dishwashers and sterilisers.
Q: What is the benefit of the yellow colour?
A: The bright colour is excellent for implementing a colour-coding system to manage allergens (e.g., yellow for gluten-free) or simply to make the cutlery easy to spot and retrieve.
Q: Are they heavy like metal forks?
A: No, they are significantly lighter than stainless steel, which is a key benefit for ease of handling, especially for children or in healthcare settings.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just Plastic: The Polycarbonate Advantage
When you see 'polycarbonate', don't just think of standard plastic. This is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer, but in simple terms, it's a super-tough, shatter-resistant material. Think of it like the stuff used to make protective goggles, police riot shields, or 'bulletproof' glass. It's engineered to absorb impact and flex under pressure rather than snap into sharp, dangerous pieces. For a bustling catering environment, this means you get the lightweight, reusable benefits of plastic but with a level of safety and durability that's in a completely different league. It’s this strength that makes a polycarbonate yellow fork catering essential a sound investment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Schools & Nurseries: A safe, shatter-proof choice for young diners, minimising risks and withstanding playful abuse.
- Hospitals & Care Homes: Ideal for meeting strict hygiene protocols as it's fully sterilisable and great for colour-coded meal trays.
- Event & Outdoor Caterers: A lightweight, reusable, and robust alternative to disposable cutlery for festivals, BBQs, and mobile catering.
- Workplace Canteens: The perfect cost-effective and durable solution to handle high-traffic staff dining without constant re-ordering.
