Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Before first use, wash all 16 pieces of the dinnerware set with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residues and ensures the set is clean and ready for food contact. Allow to air dry or dry with a soft towel.
Compatibility
- Microwave Safe: Yes, this dinnerware set is safe for use in microwave ovens. Please note that stoneware can absorb heat and become hot during microwaving; always use oven mitts or allow pieces to cool before handling.
- Dishwasher Safe: Yes, all pieces are safe for cleaning in a dishwasher. For best results and to maintain the longevity of the finish, use a gentle cycle and non-abrasive detergent.
- Freezer Safe: Yes, this set can be used to store food in the freezer. Avoid placing frozen dishes directly into a preheated oven or microwave without allowing them to temper slightly, as extreme temperature changes can cause thermal shock and damage.
- Not for Direct Heat: Avoid using the dinnerware directly on stovetops, under broiler elements, or in direct flame, as this can cause cracking or breakage.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: For everyday cleaning, wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. For stubborn food residues, soak the piece in warm, soapy water before washing. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical agents that could scratch the finish.
- Handling: While stoneware is durable, it can chip or break if dropped or struck against hard surfaces. Handle with care, especially when stacking or moving pieces.
- Storage: The stackable design helps save space. When stacking plates or bowls, consider placing a soft cloth or paper towel between items to prevent potential scratching, especially if stacking many pieces high.
