This isn't just another dish; it's a versatile piece of stoneware designed to make your food pop. Whether you're plating up a classic crème brûlée, a rich chocolate fondant, or even individual portions of shepherd's pie, its subtle colour and classic shape provide the perfect canvas, letting your culinary creations take centre stage.
Crafted for the hustle and bustle of the modern British eatery, this grey porcelain ramekin 145ml is as tough as it is handsome.

- Pro: Exceptionally durable and chip-resistant, even with daily, heavy-duty dishwasher cycles.
- Consideration: The classic straight-sided shape means they don't nest tightly for storage.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, was looking to upgrade its tired, chipped tableware. They needed something that could withstand the rigours of a busy seaside service while elevating the presentation of their signature starters and desserts.
"We switched to the grey ramekin dish Olympia DC806 for our baked scallops and our sticky toffee pudding. The colour makes the food look incredible, and they are astonishingly tough. They still look brand new after hundreds of cycles through the dishwasher."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The bistro saw a noticeable drop in breakages, contributing to a 10% reduction in their quarterly tableware replacement budget.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give all ramekins a good wash in hot, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle to remove any dust from manufacturing and transport.
- Check each piece for any imperfections or damage that may have occurred in transit before you put them into service.
- Designate a clear, easy-to-reach shelf for storage, ideally close to the pass or prep area where they'll be used most.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid thermal shock (which can cause cracking), don't take a ramekin from the freezer and put it straight into a hot oven. Let it warm to room temperature first.
- While they are very durable, avoid using metal scourers which can scratch the glaze over time. A standard dishwasher cycle is all you need.
- Stack carefully. Place them rim-to-rim rather than nesting them tightly to prevent chipping the edges.
- Rinse off acidic or colourful foods like tomato or beetroot soon after use to prevent any chance of long-term staining.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these ramekins sold individually?
A: These are supplied in a box of 12, which is ideal for professional catering use and ensures you have a consistent set for service.
Q: What is stoneware and how does it differ from porcelain?
A: Stoneware is a type of clay fired at a high temperature, making it very dense and durable, perfect for oven-to-table use. It's generally thicker and more robust than porcelain.
Q: Can I use these under a grill?
A: Yes, they are suitable for finishing dishes like a crème brûlée or a cheesy-topped starter under a commercial salamander grill for short periods.
Q: Do they stack well?
A: As they have straight sides, they stack directly on top of one another but do not nest inside each other. For space-saving, a tapered ramekin may be more suitable.
Q: Will they stain with things like tomato sauce or curry?
A: The glaze on these ramekins is non-porous and highly resistant to staining. A normal wash cycle is sufficient to clean them completely.
Q: Are they freezer safe?
A: Yes, you can use them to prepare and store frozen desserts. Just remember to let them thaw before placing them in a hot oven to prevent thermal shock.
Q: What's the maximum oven temperature they can withstand?
A: While a specific maximum isn't stated, professional-grade stoneware like this is designed to handle the temperatures of standard commercial ovens, typically up to 220-240°C.
Q: Is the grey colour a coating or part of the material?
A: The colour is in the glaze, which is fused to the stoneware body during firing. It won't peel, chip, or fade with washing.
The Olympia Promise: Tough Tableware for a Tough Trade
When you choose Olympia, you're investing in more than just a dish; you're buying into a reputation for reliability that's been earned in thousands of British kitchens. This isn't tableware designed for occasional home use. It's conceived, engineered, and manufactured specifically for the relentless environment of commercial hospitality. The vitrified stoneware body is designed to resist the chips, cracks, and knocks of daily service, while the tough glaze withstands the high temperatures and harsh detergents of commercial dishwashers without losing its lustre. This focus on durability means a lower replacement rate, saving you money and hassle over time. It’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing your equipment is built to last, letting you focus on what really matters: creating unforgettable food.

It also ensures the food arrives at the table piping hot and looking rustic and appealing, served just as the chef intended.
