FAQs

Can this dish be used in a microwave?

No, the Barro Oval Dish is not recommended for microwave use.

Is the Barro Oval Dish dishwasher safe?

Handwashing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the glaze and the hand-painted stripes. Dishwasher use may cause wear over time.

What are the dimensions of the large Barro Oval Dish?

Please refer to the product's specific dimensions listed by the retailer, as sizes can vary.

Can I use this dish on a stovetop?

How should I clean stubborn stains?

For tough stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, let it sit for a while, then rinse gently.

What does 'Barro' mean?

'Barro' means 'red clay' in Portuguese, reflecting the material and the designer's appreciation for traditional uses of clay.

Are the stripes on every dish identical?

The stripes are hand-painted, meaning each dish will have slight variations, making every piece unique.

Troubleshooting

Dish has a small chip or crack.

Minor chips or cracks may not affect usability for non-liquid foods, but it's advisable to use caution. If the crack is significant, discontinue use to avoid breakage.

Food is sticking to the dish.

Ensure the dish is adequately greased or lined with parchment paper before baking. For cooked-on food, soak the dish in warm, soapy water before gently cleaning.

Color is fading or glaze appears dull.

This may be due to harsh cleaning methods or dishwasher use. Stick to handwashing with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Dish feels excessively hot after removing from oven.

Terracotta retains heat very well. Always use oven mitts or trivets when handling and serving. Allow the dish to cool on a heat-resistant surface.
