Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia U810 is a real workhorse. While many kitchens default to stainless steel, this porcelain pan offers a significant upgrade in presentation without sacrificing toughness. It feels solid, holds heat brilliantly for buffet lines, and the vitrified finish means it shrugs off minor knocks and frequent washing. It’s a smart choice for any front-of-house application.

- Cons: Noticeably heavier than plastic or thin stainless steel alternatives.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Deli in Cardiff recently refurbished its servery and needed a display solution that was both attractive and practical. They swapped their old mix-and-match plastic trays for the Olympia U810 porcelain pans to create a cleaner, more premium look for their salads and cooked meats.
"The Olympia pans have completely elevated our counter display. They look fantastic, are incredibly easy to clean, and because they can go in the oven, we’ve streamlined how we handle our hot specials. Our customers have even commented on how much better everything looks."
Mark Davies – Owner, The Harbour View Deli
The switch has helped reduce their end-of-day washing up time by an estimated 20% and improved the overall visual appeal of their fresh food offering.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack and check the container for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any dust or residue.
- Being a standard GN size, it requires no special installation—it's ready to slot into your existing setup.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent thermal shock and potential cracking, avoid taking it directly from a freezer into a hot oven. Let it warm slightly first.
- Although chip-resistant, it's best to avoid harsh impacts with metal utensils or dropping it onto hard surfaces.
- It's fully dishwasher safe, but ensure it's loaded securely so it doesn't knock against other items during the cycle.
- Stack carefully when storing, using separators if you want to be extra cautious and prolong its pristine finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 1/3 GN actually mean?
A: It's a standard European size. A full 1/1 GN tray measures 530x325mm. A 1/3 GN tray like this one is a third of that size (325x176mm), so three of them fit perfectly into a 1/1 frame or appliance.
Q: Is this container stackable?
A: Yes, these containers are designed to be stackable for efficient storage, helping you save valuable shelf space in your kitchen.
Q: Is porcelain better than stainless steel for a food tray?
A: It depends on the job. For customer-facing displays and oven-to-table service, porcelain's presentation and heat retention is superior. For back-of-house prep and raw ingredient storage, stainless steel is often preferred for its lighter weight and durability.
Q: Can it go straight from the freezer to a hot oven?
A: While it is freezer and oven safe, we recommend avoiding extreme temperature shocks. Allow the dish to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before placing it in a pre-heated oven to ensure its longevity.
Q: How heavy is this commercial food storage container 1/3?
A: This porcelain pan weighs 2.03kg. It's solid and sturdy, which helps with its durability and heat retention.
Q: What is the exact capacity in litres?
A: The total capacity of this 65mm deep pan is 1.292 litres.
Q: Are lids sold separately for this model?
A: Lids are available for most standard GN sizes. You can find compatible 1/3 GN lids in our gastronorm accessories section.
Q: Is the white colour a brilliant white or more of an off-white?
A: The Olympia porcelain has a clean, classic white finish that provides a neutral and professional backdrop for displaying food.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy a 'Vitrified' Pan is a Smarter Choice
Ever wondered what 'vitrified porcelain' actually means? Think of it as standard ceramic that's been given a suit of armour. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature, which causes the material to become glass-like (vitreous), making it non-porous. This means it won’t absorb moisture, flavours, or odours from food, which is a massive plus for hygiene. More importantly, this process makes the Olympia U810 gastronorm container exceptionally strong and far more resistant to chipping than regular ceramics. So, when you see 'Vitrified to BS4034', it’s not just jargon—it’s a guarantee of toughness built for the bumps and scrapes of a commercial kitchen.
