Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash the bowl in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residue and prepares the stoneware for food contact.
General use: The bowl's versatile design works for serving both hot and cold foods. The specialist clay construction maintains even temperatures, keeping hot foods warm and cold foods chilled for longer periods. The 350ml capacity provides generous individual servings whilst remaining compact enough for table settings.
Oven use: Always use oven gloves when handling hot stoneware. For frozen dishes, place in a cold oven, set the temperature, and allow both to heat up together—never place frozen stoneware in a preheated oven. For room-temperature dishes, don't preheat your oven above 205°C (400°F). Before adding liquid to a dish in the oven, remove it and allow to cool for a few minutes first.
Grill use: When using under the grill, always maintain at least 6.5cm (2½ inches) gap between the heat source and the top of the bowl. Use oven gloves and monitor closely.
Microwave use: The bowl is microwave safe for convenient reheating. Use appropriate microwave times and power levels for your food. Always use oven gloves or a cloth when removing from the microwave, as the stoneware may become hot.
Freezer use: The bowl can go from freezer to oven, making it ideal for meal prep and batch cooking individual portions. Freeze, then reheat as needed. Remember the cold-oven rule when reheating frozen dishes.
Cleaning: Allow the bowl to cool down before cleaning. Wipe any food residue from the interior. For stuck-on food, fill with warm soapy water and soak for 15-20 minutes before washing as usual. Hand wash and dry, or place in the dishwasher for a full cycle. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its appearance through repeated washing.
Avoiding thermal shock: Don't place hot stoneware on cold surfaces or add cold liquids to very hot stoneware, as sudden temperature changes can cause cracking. Allow gradual temperature transitions to maintain the integrity of the stoneware.
Stain prevention: Whilst the glaze resists scratching and staining, strongly pigmented foods may cause some discolouration over extended use. This is cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality or food safety. Most staining can be minimized by prompt cleaning after use.
Storage: Store in a dry cupboard. The bowl's compact size makes it easy to stack with other similarly-sized items, though placing a paper towel or cloth between stacked pieces prevents any potential scratching during storage movement.
