  • Presentation Power: The novel shape is an instant win for presentation, delighting guests.
  • Niche Size: Their specific 35ml size is great for dips but not versatile for sides.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Salty Squid', a popular seafood restaurant in Whitby, wanted to refresh their starter presentation without a costly menu overhaul. They chose the Olympia CE544 pans to serve their homemade tartare sauce.

"Honestly, a brilliant little touch. We serve our signature sauce in these and  customers always comment on them. It’s such a simple thing, but it’s elevated the whole dish and  makes us look more polished. They’ve been through the dishwasher hundreds of times and  still look brand new."

Michael Davies – Owner

The change contributed to a noticeable lift in social media mentions and  photo tags from customers within the first quarter.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  check each bowl for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Always run them through a hot wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use.
  • Think about your plating – their unique shape can be the hero of the dish, so build around it!
  • Due to their small size, ensure they are stored where they won't be easily misplaced during a busy service.

Keeping It Going

  • To preserve the glaze, avoid using harsh metal scourers or highly abrasive cleaning agents.
  • Stack carefully. While durable, preventing direct edge-to-edge contact will maximise their lifespan.
  • Avoid extreme thermal shock – for instance, don't take a bowl directly from the freezer and  place it into a very hot oven.
  • Regularly inspect for any small chips or cracks and  remove any damaged items from service to maintain food safety standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Presentation Crockery

Not sure what fits best for your menu? Choosing the right crockery can make all the difference. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Check the Capacity

Think carefully about what you'll be serving. A 35ml capacity is perfect for a dip, a sauce, or a single bite, but won't work for a side salad. Match size to purpose.

Match Your Brand

Classic white porcelain is a timeless choice that lets your food shine. But ask yourself if a more rustic or colourful style might better suit your restaurant's atmosphere.

Think About Storage

In a professional kitchen, every inch of shelf space counts. Check if your chosen items are designed to stack neatly and  securely to avoid clutter and  breakages.

Prioritise Durability

Look for terms like 'fully vitrified' and  'strengthened rolled edges'. This indicates crockery built for the trade, saving you money on replacements in the long run.

Consider the 'Wow' Factor

Sometimes, a unique shape like these small pan shaped serving bowls can be a marketing tool in itself, encouraging guests to share their experience online.

What 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Kitchen

You'll see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature. This fuses the clay particles together, making the final product glass-like and  non-porous.

Think of it like the difference between a terracotta pot and  a glass bottle. The terracotta (like standard, non-vitrified ceramic) can soak up water, oils, and  odours. The glass bottle (like these vitrified bowls) is completely sealed. This means the Olympia CE544 miniature pans won't absorb flavours or stains, making them far more hygienic and  easier to clean. It also gives them superb strength, so they can handle the heat, knocks, and  bumps of a commercial kitchen without a fuss.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Bistros: Perfect for serving signature sauces, pâtés, or flavoured butters alongside main courses or bread baskets.
  • Event Caterers: Ideal for creating visually striking canapés or tasters that are easy for guests to handle at functions.
  • Boutique Hotels: To add a memorable, high-end touch to room service trays or for individual jam portions at breakfast.
  • Dessert Bars: A creative way to serve hot chocolate sauce, salted caramel, or fruit coulis alongside cakes and  ice cream.
