Troubleshooting

Minor chips are typically cosmetic. For deeper scratches, assess if they affect the integrity of the stoneware. Light scratches are common with regular use on stoneware.
Stains are difficult to remove.
Soak the egg cup in a solution of warm water and baking soda or a mild bleach. Gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge if needed.
