- Top-Notch Presentation: The rustic finish makes pies and crumbles look incredibly appealing.
- Unglazed Foot: The base is unglazed, so ensure it's fully dry before stacking.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pheasant Inn, a popular pub in the heart of the Peak District, wanted to upgrade their pie presentation from standard metal tins to something that reflected their rustic, high-quality ethos.
"These Olympia dishes were exactly what we were looking for. They hold the heat brilliantly, so the pies arrive sizzling at the table, and they just look the part. Our customers have definitely noticed the difference, and the durability has been fantastic in our busy kitchen."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
Since switching, The Pheasant Inn has seen a notable lift in pie sales and a significant increase in positive customer comments on their food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Before first use, wash the dishes thoroughly in warm, soapy water to remove any dust from transit and packaging.
- Inspect each dish upon arrival to ensure there's no damage.
- The reactive glaze means each piece has slight variations – this is a feature, not a flaw!
- These are ready to use straight away in the oven, microwave, or freezer.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent thermal shock, avoid transferring the dish directly from a freezer to a hot oven. Allow it to warm to room temperature first.
- Although dishwasher safe, ensure the unglazed foot on the base is completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture being trapped.
- Avoid using metal scourers or highly abrasive cleaners which can damage the glazed surface over time.
- Stack carefully to minimise the risk of chipping the edges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these dishes truly oven safe?
A: Yes, they are designed for commercial ovens. As with all ceramics, it's best to avoid extreme and sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
Q: Can I use a knife to cut a pie inside the dish?
A: It's best to avoid using sharp knives directly on the surface, as this can cause scratches in the glaze over time and with repeated use.
Q: Are the dishes sold individually?
A: No, this product is supplied in a box containing six pie dishes.
Q: What is the exact capacity?
A: Each round pie bowl has a capacity of 610ml, which is 21.5 fluid ounces.
Q: Do these pie dishes stack well for storage?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable to help save valuable space in your kitchen.
Q: Is the 'Earth' colour consistent on every dish?
A: Due to the reactive glaze used in the finishing process, each piece will have slight, unique variations in colour and pattern, which adds to their rustic charm.
Q: Can they be used on a gas or electric hob?
A: No, these dishes are designed for oven use only and should not be placed on a direct heat source like a hob.
Q: What does 'fully vitrified' mean?
A: It's a high-temperature firing process that makes the stoneware stronger, more durable, and highly resistant to water absorption, chipping, and cracking.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Makes 'Fully Vitrified' Stoneware a Kitchen Hero?
You'll often see the term 'fully vitrified' on professional-grade ceramics, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it as giving the stoneware a superpower. During firing, the clay becomes so hot that it essentially turns into a glass-like substance (it vitrifies). This process closes up almost all the tiny pores in the material.
The result? A commercial pie dish stoneware that is far stronger, more durable, and less likely to absorb water, odours, or flavours. Unlike standard pottery that can get waterlogged and crack, a vitrified dish is much more resistant to chipping and thermal shock (cracking from sudden temperature changes). It's why this dish can confidently go from freezer to oven and into the dishwasher, making it a reliable workhorse for any professional setting.
Who Should Buy This?
- Gastropubs & Country Inns: Perfect for serving up signature, individual pies and crumbles with a premium, rustic feel.
