FAQs

Are these plates truly ceramic?

No, these plates are made from high-quality melamine, designed to visually mimic the look and feel of ceramic with a special crackle glaze finish.

Can I use these plates in the microwave?

No, these melamine plates are not microwave safe and should never be placed in a microwave oven.

How many plates are included in this set?

This specific set includes two Purely Home Crackle Gold Melamine Side Plates.

Are they dishwasher safe?

Yes, they are dishwasher safe, making cleanup convenient. It is recommended to place them on the top rack.

What is the 'crackle glaze' finish?

The crackle glaze is a reactive hand-applied finish that creates a unique, crazed pattern on the surface, giving the melamine a sophisticated, ceramic-like appearance.

Do they feel like cheap plastic?

No, these plates are designed with a more substantial weight than typical melamine, giving them a higher quality feel.

Can I use sharp knives on these plates?

It is best to avoid using sharp metal knives as they can scratch the surface over time. Wooden or plastic utensils are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Plates appear dull after washing

Ensure you are using a mild dishwasher detergent and that no residue is left. A quick hand wash with warm water and a soft cloth can often restore shine.

Surface scratches are visible

Avoid using sharp metal cutlery. If minor scratches occur, they may be less noticeable on the textured crackle glaze. For deeper scratches, consider dedicating these plates to less formal uses.

Food stains are difficult to remove

Soak the plate in warm, soapy water for a short period. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rubbed with a soft cloth.
