Expert Review and  Insights

The Olympia P175 is the definition of doing one thing and  doing it well. It’s not flashy, but its practical, square design is a subtle stroke of genius for space-efficiency in a busy warewashing area. It's a robust, workhorse item that solves a daily frustration without you even having to think about it.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The square profile is brilliant for maximising dishwasher rack capacity.
  • Con: Lacks internal dividers, so cutlery can sometimes get tangled.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Bistro in Chester was struggling with their old, round cutlery holders. They were bulky, wasted a huge amount of space in their dishwasher rack, and  often tipped over, causing frustrating and  time-consuming re-washes.

"It seems like a small thing, but these square baskets have genuinely streamlined our whole wash-up area. We can now get twice the amount of cutlery cleaned in a single cycle, and  everything comes out spotless. No more fishing for spoons at the bottom of the machine!"

Mark Jennings – Head Chef

By switching to the Olympia P175, The Garden Bistro has virtually eliminated re-washes, saving staff time and  improving wash-cycle efficiency by an estimated 50%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the basket securely on the dishwasher rack prongs to prevent it from moving during the cycle.
  • Avoid overfilling; leave enough room for water and  detergent to circulate freely.
  • For best results, mix cutlery by placing some handles up and  some handles down to prevent nesting.
  • Ensure no items are tall enough to obstruct the dishwasher's spray arms.

Keeping It Going

  • Run the basket through a regular hot wash cycle to keep it clean and  sanitised.
  • Periodically check for any cracks or damage from daily wear and  tear.
  • If you're in a hard water area, occasionally descale the basket along with your machine.
  • The white plastic makes it easy to see any build-up, so a quick wipe-down can keep it looking pristine.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Dishwasher Basket

Not sure what to look for? Choosing the right commercial dishwasher rack is about more than just price. Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you get the best fit for your kitchen.

Shape & Size

Measure your dishwasher rack. Square baskets like this one are brilliant for maximising space, but make sure the height won't interfere with the spray arms.

Material Matters

Look for durable, heat-resistant plastic that can withstand high temperatures and  commercial detergents without becoming brittle or warped.

Mesh & Grid Size

The holes need to be large enough for water to pass through easily, but small enough that teaspoon handles or other small items can't slip out.

Capacity

Consider how much cutlery you wash in a typical rush. It's often better to have several smaller baskets for easy sorting than one enormous one.

Compartments or Open Plan?

Baskets with compartments are great for pre-sorting, while open-plan baskets like the P175 offer more flexibility for different-sized utensils.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this P175 cutlery basket fit in my specific brand of commercial dishwasher?

A: This basket is designed with universal dimensions (110x110mm) to fit in the vast majority of standard commercial dishwasher racks from brands like Hobart, Classeq, and  Winterhalter.

Q: How many of these square cutlery baskets can I fit in a standard 500x500mm rack?

A: You can comfortably fit 16 baskets (in a 4x4 formation) into a standard 500x500mm rack, massively increasing your cutlery washing capacity.

Q: Is the plastic heat-resistant enough for a high-temperature sanitising rinse?

A: Yes, it's made from durable commercial-grade plastic designed to withstand the high temperatures and  chemicals used in professional dishwashers.

Q: Can it hold larger utensils like ladles or spatulas?

A: It's primarily designed for standard cutlery. While some smaller utensils might fit, larger or long-handled items are better suited to a dedicated utensil pot or lying flat on the rack.

Q: How do I stop spoons from 'spooning' or nesting together?

A: The best trick is to alternate them – place some handles up and  some handles down. This ensures they separate and  get a thorough clean.

Q: Will the white plastic stain over time from things like tomato sauce or curry?

A: The high-quality plastic is resistant to staining, and  regular cycles with a quality commercial detergent will keep it looking clean and  white.

Q: Is the basket heavy when full of wet cutlery?

A: The basket itself is extremely lightweight (only 60g), so even when full, it remains easy and  safe to handle.

Q: Can I use this for soaking cutlery before washing?

A: Absolutely. It's perfect for use in a pre-soak sink before being lifted straight into the dishwasher, minimising handling.

Why A Square Shape Unlocks More Space

Ever wondered why most dishwasher baskets are round when the racks they sit in are square? We have too! The Olympia P175's square design is a simple but incredibly effective feature. Think of it like packing books onto a bookshelf versus trying to stack footballs – the books fit together perfectly with no gaps. These square baskets do the same thing in your dishwasher rack. They line up edge-to-edge, a process called tessellation, eliminating the awkward, wasted space that round holders create. This means you can fit more baskets in a single load, wash more cutlery at once, and  ultimately run your dishwasher less often, saving time, water, and  energy.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Cafés: Perfect for keeping teaspoons, stirrers, and  dessert forks organised through frequent, fast-paced wash cycles.
  • Busy Restaurants: A must-have dishwasher basket for a restaurant needing to process high volumes of cutlery efficiently during service.
  • School & Office Canteens: Ideal for sorting large quantities of standard cutlery, ensuring everything is hygienically cleaned and  ready for the next rush.
  • Pubs & Bars: An essential for handling the cutlery from Sunday roasts or daily pub grub, fitting neatly into the wash-up system.
