  • Top Marks for Versatility: A true oven-to-table item that works for countless menu items.
  • A Tad Small for Some: Might be too petite for chunkier salsas or larger appetisers.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Inn in Padstow, Cornwall, needed to upgrade their tableware to something more durable and  presentable for their popular seafood platters, which came with three signature dipping sauces. Their existing mismatched pots were prone to chipping and  detracted from the overall high-quality presentation.

"We were replacing our sauce pots constantly. Since switching to the Olympia CD728 pots, our breakages have plummeted. They look smart, they survive the dishwasher day in and  day out, and  they present our sauces beautifully. Our staff love them, and  they just work."

Robert Finch – Proprietor

The switch resulted in a 90% reduction in crockery re-ordering for dipping pots in the first six months and  a noticeable improvement in table presentation scores from customer feedback.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each pot for any transit damage.
  • Before their first use, run the pots through a full dishwasher cycle to ensure they are pristine.
  • When stacking, ensure they are fully dry to prevent water spots and  maintain hygiene.
  • Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf to make them readily available during a busy service.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent thermal shock, avoid taking a pot from the freezer and  putting it directly into a hot oven.
  • While dishwasher safe, use a non-abrasive detergent to maintain the quality of the glaze over time.
  • Regularly check the rolled edges for any nicks or chips; the Lifetime Warranty covers edge-chips.
  • If serving very acidic sauces like vinaigrette, rinse the pots soon after use to prevent any potential long-term etching.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Small Sauce Pots for Catering

Not sure which pots fit your menu best? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the perfect match for your business.

Material Matters

Porcelain, like this Olympia CD728 dipping pot, offers a classic, clean look that's incredibly durable and  hygienic. While stainless steel is unbreakable, it can get very hot and  doesn't offer the same elegant presentation. Glass looks great but is often the most fragile option.

Capacity & Portion Control

A 38ml pot is fantastic for rich sauces or controlling portions of expensive ingredients. For chunkier salsas or dips that guests will use a lot of, you might consider a slightly larger ramekin of around 60-90ml.

Durability for Daily Use

In a commercial setting, durability is non-negotiable. Look for features like 'fully vitrified' porcelain, 'rolled edges', and  a good warranty. These are signs that a product is built for the trade, not just for home use.

Heat Resistance

If you plan on serving hot sauces, like peppercorn or gravy, or even baking small desserts in the pot, make sure it is explicitly oven and  microwave safe. This adds a huge amount of versatility to what you can do with them.

Stackability is a Must

Kitchen space is always at a premium. Choosing pots that are designed to stack securely and  neatly is a simple decision that will save you space and  headaches every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: It means the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, stronger, and  more resistant to chipping and  stains than standard ceramic.

Q: Are these pots sold individually?

A: No, these are supplied as a pack of 12, offering excellent value for professional setups.

Q: What is the exact capacity of one pot?

A: Each pot holds 38ml (or 1.25 fluid ounces), which is perfect for controlled portions of sauces, dips, or butter.

Q: Can I use these for baking individual desserts?

A: Absolutely. As they are oven-safe, they're great for mini crème brûlées, chocolate pots, or small baked puddings.

Q: What is the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty?

A: This is Olympia's promise to replace any item if the rim chips during normal food service use, showcasing their confidence in the product's durability.

Q: What does meeting the BS4034 standard signify?

A: This is a British Standard that certifies the crockery has passed rigorous tests for durability, making it suitable for hotels, restaurants, and  other catering businesses.

A: They are a classic, brilliant white porcelain, designed to complement any style of existing tableware.

Q: Do they get very hot to the touch when used for hot sauces?

A: Like any ceramic, they will conduct heat. It's always best to handle with care when serving hot contents, or place them on a plate for service.

What 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Kitchen

You see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what does it really mean? Think of regular porcelain like a tough sponge – it can still have microscopic pores. Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until it melts and  fuses together, essentially turning that 'sponge' into a solid, glass-like piece of stone. This process makes the material completely non-porous. For you, this means it won't absorb water, oils, odours, or flavours from food. It's far more hygienic, incredibly resistant to stains, and  much, much stronger than standard ceramic, making it the perfect choice for the demanding environment of a commercial kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for elegantly serving house-made sauces, flavoured butters, or pre-dinner olives on the side.
  • Gastropubs & Bars: An essential for portioning out ketchup, BBQ sauce, and  mustard for burgers, steaks, and  chips.
  • Cafés & Tea Rooms: Ideal for individual servings of jam, marmalade, or clotted cream for scones and  toast.
  • Hotels & Event Caterers: A must-have for buffet displays, condiment stations, and  enhancing room service trays with a professional touch.
