To keep the bowl in optimal condition, treat it as you would high-quality ceramic tableware. While it is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to place it securely to avoid rattling against other dishes due to its unique shape. It is also microwave safe, allowing for warming of contents if necessary. When cleaning by hand, use a soft cloth to maintain the integrity of the black enamel and avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the reflective surface.
