Delivery Information

Price Match

These Olympia Kristallon ramekins are made from melamine, a hard-wearing plastic that closely resembles china in appearance but is significantly more resistant to chipping, cracking, and general knocks. The white finish is plain and clean, making them versatile across a range of service styles.

In busy kitchen and front-of-house environments, melamine ramekins tend to hold up better than porcelain equivalents under the daily attrition of clearing, stacking, and washing. They are commonly used in outdoor catering, festival and event settings, pub kitchens, and anywhere crockery is at heightened risk of being dropped or roughly handled during a busy service.

A few practical points worth noting:

  • Melamine construction resists chipping and cracking under normal service conditions
  • Lightweight build reduces fatigue when handling large quantities during service
  • Suitable for cold and ambient food service; safe up to 120°C but not intended for oven use
  • Compatible with most commercial dishwashers at standard cycle temperatures
  • Supplied in packs of 12, practical for stocking in multiples

It is worth being aware that melamine is not suitable for microwave use, and whilst the 120°C temperature tolerance covers most hot food service applications, it should not be placed in an oven or under a grill. For operations where ramekins go directly into the oven or salamander, ceramic or porcelain options would be the more appropriate choice.

These ramekins are well suited to casual dining, high-turnover sites, outdoor and mobile catering, and any operation where durability and replacement cost matter more than a premium tableware finish. If your operation needs a higher-capacity pack size or a different format, it is worth having a conversation before ordering in bulk.

Frequently asked questions

Can these ramekins go in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, melamine is generally compatible with commercial dishwashers at standard cycle temperatures. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to very high-temperature drying cycles, as repeated extreme heat over time can affect the surface finish.

Are these suitable for serving hot food directly from the oven or salamander?

No. Whilst these ramekins tolerate temperatures up to 120°C and are suitable for serving hot food at the table, they are not designed for oven, grill, or salamander use. For applications where the ramekin itself needs to go into the oven, ceramic or porcelain alternatives would be more appropriate.

How do melamine ramekins compare to porcelain for everyday service use?

Melamine is considerably more resistant to chipping and breaking than porcelain, which makes it a practical choice wherever crockery is at greater risk of being dropped or handled roughly — outdoor events, pub dining, and high-volume casual settings are typical examples. The trade-off is that melamine cannot be used in a microwave or oven, and for more formal dining settings the finish may not match the look of quality porcelain.
