FAQs

Are the HAY Barro plates dishwasher safe?

No, the HAY Barro plates are strictly hand wash only. Dishwashers can damage the glaze and the terracotta material over time.

Can I use these plates in the microwave or oven?

No, these plates are made from terracotta and are not suitable for microwave or oven use. They are designed for serving at room temperature or with food that is already at a safe serving temperature.

What does 'Barro' mean?

'Barro' means 'red clay' in Portuguese, referencing the primary material used in the plates' construction.

How should I store the plates?

Store the plates in a dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture issues. Consider using placemats or felt protectors between stacked plates to avoid scratches.

Are these plates suitable for hot food?

Yes, the plates are suitable for serving hot food. However, they should not be heated in a microwave or oven. Allow hot food to cool slightly before placing it on the plate if concerned about extreme temperature shock.

What is the material of the HAY Barro plates?

The plates are crafted from high-quality, durable terracotta.

How do I clean minor stains?

For minor stains, try gently scrubbing with a soft brush or sponge and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. For persistent stains, a paste of baking soda and water can sometimes help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Plate has a faint scratch

Minor scratches on the glaze are sometimes unavoidable. Try gently wiping the area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scratches, it may be part of the natural wear and tear of the material.

Color seems to be fading slightly

Ensure you are hand washing with mild soap and avoiding harsh detergents or prolonged soaking, which can affect the glaze. Dry thoroughly after washing.

Uneven glaze finish on arrival

Slight variations in glaze can be a characteristic of handcrafted terracotta. If the variation is significant or undesirable, please contact customer support.

Plate feels excessively cool to the touch

Terracotta naturally has thermal properties. If the plate feels too cool, allow it to come to room temperature before serving warm food.
