Product Overview
Stepping away from the everyday, this rectangular enamel pie dish brings a slice of classic British charm right to your tabletops. It’s a proper, no-nonsense piece of kit, perfect for serving up everything from a hearty steak and ale pie to a bubbly shepherd's pie or a sweet apple crumble.

Crafted for the hustle and bustle of professional kitchens, this dish is far tougher than it looks. The core is made from heavy-duty steel, which is then coated in a fused-glass enamel.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Head, a historic pub in Norwich, was looking to replace its assortment of mismatched ceramic bakeware to create a more cohesive and durable tableware collection for its popular 'Pie Night'.
"We were constantly replacing chipped ceramic dishes. These Olympia enamel ones are brilliant – they look the part, our customers love the classic style, and they've survived our busiest services without a single casualty. They've really elevated our presentation."
Robert Green – Head Chef
After switching to the Olympia enamel baking dish, the pub virtually eliminated replacement costs, saving an estimated £200 on new dishes in the first six months alone.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give all dishes a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before their first use to remove any manufacturing residue.
- Check each piece for any imperfections upon arrival – they should be smooth and ready for action.
- Plan your storage in a dry area where they can be stacked easily without bumping against harder items.
Keeping It Going
- To preserve the finish, avoid using metal utensils like knives or forks directly in the dish.
- While dishwasher safe, hand-washing without abrasive scourers will prolong its pristine look.
- Avoid sudden temperature shocks, like putting a hot dish into cold water, to prevent stress on the enamel.
- If chipping does occur over time, the dish is still safe to use as the steel core is robust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these dishes freezer safe?
A: Yes, you can prepare dishes in advance and store them in the freezer. Just be sure to thaw them before placing them in a hot oven to avoid thermal shock.
Q: What is the maximum oven temperature they can withstand?
A: Enamelware is extremely heat resistant and is safe for use in all commercial ovens at standard baking and roasting temperatures (up to 270°C).
Q: Can I use a metal scourer to clean them?
A: It's best to avoid abrasive pads or metal scourers, as they can scratch the enamel surface. A standard sponge or brush with washing-up liquid is all you need.
Q: Do they stack well?
A: Yes, their shape allows for neat stacking to help save valuable space in your kitchen.
Q: Will the blue rim fade in the dishwasher?
A: No, the colour is part of the fused-glass enamel coating and is designed to be permanent and dishwasher safe.
Q: Can I use these on an induction hob?
A: While the core is steel, they are designed as oven-to-tableware and are not recommended for direct use on any type of hob, including induction.
Q: Is the listed weight for one dish or the whole pack?
A: The weight of 0.96kg refers to the entire pack of six dishes.
Q: If a dish chips, is it still food safe?
A: Yes. The underlying steel is perfectly safe. The chip becomes part of the dish's rustic character, a common feature of well-loved enamelware.
The Olympia Promise: Built for Service, Styled for Show
Choosing Olympia isn't just about buying a product; it's about investing in a brand that truly understands the rhythm of a commercial kitchen. For decades, Olympia has been the trusted partner for caterers who need equipment that works as hard as they do. This Olympia GM511 pie dish is a perfect example of that philosophy. It's not designed to sit in a display cabinet. It’s built to endure the thermal shock of a blast chiller, the intense heat of a pizza oven, and the rigours of a commercial dishwasher, cycle after cycle. The long-term value lies in its sheer resilience. You'll spend less time and money replacing broken crockery and more time focusing on what you do best: creating incredible food. It’s a smart, cost-effective choice that brings reliability and a touch of timeless style to your service, year after year.
Explore more from OlympiaHow Fused-Glass Enamel Boosts Durability
Ever wondered what makes enamelware so tough? The secret is the 'fused-glass' coating. It’s not just a layer of paint; it’s powdered glass that has been heated to an incredibly high temperature until it melts and fuses directly onto the steel core. This process creates a super-hard, non-porous surface.
Think of it like the protective glass screen on your phone, but for your cookware. It forms a seamless barrier that stops food, grease, and odours from seeping into the metal. This is why stains and strong flavours (like garlic or fish) wash away so easily, and why the dish won't rust. It’s a simple, age-old technique that gives this classic rectangular enamel oven dish its modern-day resilience.
Who Should Buy This?
- Traditional Pubs: Ideal for serving signature steak and kidney pies or fish pies with an authentic, gastropub look.
- Busy Cafés: Perfect for daily lunch specials like cottage pie or macaroni cheese, going straight from oven to table.
- Bakeries & Dessert Parlours: A great way to present and serve individual fruit crumbles, bread puddings, or sticky toffee puddings.
- Event Caterers: A durable and stackable solution for serving consistent, single-portion hot meals at weddings and functions.
