Full details
The Cooksmart Hen House Lane Soup Mug is designed for dedicated soup lovers seeking a convenient way to heat, store, and enjoy their favorite broths, stews, or noodles. Its key benefit lies in its microwave-safe stoneware construction and a secure lid with an air vent for even heating and spill prevention, making mealtime effortless.

This 600ml mug combines functionality with a charming hen and farmyard print, adding rustic appeal to your kitchen.

What are the dimensions of the mug?

Troubleshooting
Lid not fitting securely
Ensure the lid is properly aligned with the rim of the mug and press down firmly. Check for any debris on the rim or lid.
Uneven heating in microwave
Confirm the air vent on the lid is open. Stir the contents halfway through reheating for more consistent results. Ensure the microwave is functioning correctly.
Stains on the mug
For stubborn stains, try making a paste of baking soda and water, applying it to the stain, letting it sit for a few minutes, and then gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge.
Lid seems warped after washing
This may indicate it was exposed to high dishwasher heat. Hand wash the lid gently and allow it to air dry completely.
