Setup, Compatibility & Care
These plates require no special setup; however, consistent care will prolong their lifespan. To prevent thermal shock, avoid moving the plates directly from a freezer to a preheated oven. When cleaning, although they are dishwasher safe, stacking them carefully in the dishwasher will prevent rattling and potential edge chipping. To preserve the high-quality glaze, use soft sponges or non-abrasive cloths when hand-washing. When storing, consider using plate dividers or felt protectors between items to maintain the pristine condition of the blue finish.
