FAQs
Can the Barro Oval Dish be cleaned in a dishwasher?
It is recommended to hand wash the Barro Oval Dish to preserve the integrity of the glaze and material. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh and may dull the finish over time.
What temperature can the dish withstand in the oven?
The dish is designed for standard oven temperatures. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessively high heat (above 450°F / 230°C) or sudden temperature changes.
Is the white glaze lead-free?
Yes, the glazes used are typically food-safe and free from harmful substances like lead, adhering to common safety standards for tableware.
Can I use this dish on a gas or electric stovetop?
No, the Barro Oval Dish is not designed for direct heat from a stovetop and should only be used in an oven.
How do I store the dish when not in use?
Store the dish in a dry place. If stacking, use protective pads between dishes to prevent scratching the glaze.
What does 'Barro' mean?
'Barro' means 'red clay' in Portuguese, reflecting the material used in its creation.
Are there other colors available?

Troubleshooting
Dish has minor chips or scratches.
Small chips on the glaze are usually cosmetic and do not affect the dish's functionality. For significant damage, discontinue use.
Dish appears stained.
For glazed variants, try a paste of baking soda and water. For unglazed variants, this may be permanent; consider sealing future dishes.
Food is sticking to the dish.
Ensure adequate greasing or oiling of the dish before baking. For persistent sticking, soak the dish in warm, soapy water before cleaning.
Dish cracked after oven use.
This may be due to thermal shock. Ensure the dish is at room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven, and avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.
