Expert Review and  Insights

You’re not going to win any design awards with this spoon, but that’s not the point. Its beauty lies in its sheer refusal to break. We’ve seen these in kitchens that are absolute warzones, and  they just keep going. For canteens, buffets, or any high-turnover spot, it’s one of the most practical and  reliable pieces of kit you can buy for pennies.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Colour-Coding Hero: The bright yellow is brilliant for keeping allergy-prone foods like potato salad separate.
  • Not for Fine Dining: Its functional, plastic look means it’s best kept for buffets and  canteens.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A busy staff canteen at a distribution centre in Coventry was struggling with constantly replacing cheap plastic serving spoons that would crack or stain within weeks. They needed a more robust, long-term solution for their popular hot lunch buffet.

"We were binning spoons almost every other week, it was a false economy. I bought a few boxes of these Olympia ones six months ago, and  honestly, we haven't lost a single one to breakage since. They go through the dishwasher twice a day and  still look great. They just work."

David Chen – Canteen Manager

The switch completely eliminated their monthly spend on replacement utensils and  improved the overall look of their food presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Before their first use, give all spoons a good wash in warm, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • If you plan to use them for colour-coding, establish the rules with your team straight away (e.g., yellow for dairy-free).
  • Store them in a dedicated utensil pot or drawer to avoid being scratched by sharp knives or other implements.

Keeping It Going

  • When loading into a dishwasher, place them securely in the cutlery basket to stop them from falling and  touching the heating element.
  • To maintain the smooth finish, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring pads for cleaning.
  • While great for serving, avoid leaving the spoon resting in extremely hot oil or on a direct heat source like a griddle.
  • Rinse off any residue from strongly coloured foods like beetroot or bolognese soon after use to prevent any chance of long-term staining.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Catering Utensils

Not sure which utensil is right for the job? Here are a few pointers to help you choose wisely.

Material Matters

Polycarbonate and  polypropylene are champs for durability and  safety in busy settings. For a more ceramic-like feel, look at melamine, while stainless steel remains the classic choice for high heat and  longevity.

Consider Colour-Coding

Using different coloured utensils for specific food groups is a simple, visual, and  highly effective way to manage food safety and  prevent allergen cross-contamination.

Check Temperature Ratings

If you're serving from hot bain-maries or chilled salad bars, make sure your chosen utensil can handle the temperatures without warping, cracking, or becoming brittle.

Handle Length & Shape

Longer handles are a must for deep food pans to keep staff's hands clean and  safe. Also, consider the spoon's bowl – is it deep for liquids or shallow for scooping solids?

Ease of Cleaning

Look for non-porous, dishwasher-safe materials. A smooth, one-piece construction is always best as there are no joints or crevices for food and  bacteria to hide in.

A: No, it's designed to be very rigid and  strong to prevent it from bending or snapping when serving heavy food items like potato salad.

A: Kristallon is the brand name for Olympia's popular range of virtually unbreakable polycarbonate and  polypropylene tableware, famous for its strength in commercial environments.

The Olympia Promise: Unseen Value in Every Utensil

Olympia has been a cornerstone of British catering supplies for years, and  that reputation is built on more than just specifications. While a simple yellow spoon might seem like a minor purchase, it perfectly represents Olympia's core philosophy: creating products that solve real-world kitchen problems. This isn't just a piece of plastic; it's a tool engineered for the relentless pace of a professional service. It resists the chipping that can create foreign body hazards, it withstands the high temperatures of commercial dishwashers that would warp domestic equivalents, and  its colour-coding potential is a direct nod to modern food safety compliance. Investing in the Olympia brand means fewer re-orders, less worry about breakages, and  more consistent, reliable service day after day. It's the kind of background reliability that lets you focus on the food, not the tools.

Why 'Virtually Unbreakable' Polycarbonate Matters

When you see 'polycarbonate' or high-grade polypropylene on a catering utensil, what does that actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it like the difference between a standard drinking glass and  the safety glass in a car windscreen. One shatters into dangerous shards on impact, while the other is engineered to absorb the shock. This Kristallon DL123 serving spoon is made from that tougher stuff. It means if a member of staff drops it on a hard tiled floor during a hectic service, it won’t crack or splinter. This isn't just about saving money on replacements; it's a critical safety feature, reducing the risk of plastic fragments ending up where they shouldn't. It’s peace of mind in a spoon.

Who Should Buy This?

  • School & Workplace Canteens: A tough, safe, and  cost-effective choice for high-volume self-service salad and  pasta bars.
  • Hotel Buffet Services: Ideal for breakfast buffets, serving everything from scrambled eggs to fruit salad with reliability.
  • Delis & Sandwich Bars: Perfect for portioning out fillings hygienically, using the colour to denote specific ingredients.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: This polycarbonate catering utensil is lightweight and  durable, making it perfect for transport and  outdoor events.
