CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Caring for your terracotta plates is simple and straightforward. Hand washing with warm water and mild soap is recommended to preserve the natural finish. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers that might damage the surface. Allow plates to air dry completely before storing.

Before first use, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. For oven use, avoid extreme temperature shocks—let plates come to room temperature before placing in a preheated oven. The porous nature of unglazed terracotta means these plates may absorb some moisture and food oils over time, which actually enhances their non-stick properties and flavor-enhancing qualities.

With proper care, these handcrafted pieces will serve your family for years to come, becoming treasured heirlooms that carry memories of shared meals and celebrations.
