FAQs
Are the bowls microwave safe?
The porcelain bowls are generally microwave safe, but avoid placing the slate base in the microwave as it may crack.
Can I put hot food directly on the slate?
Yes, slate is naturally heat-resistant, making it suitable for serving warm appetizers.
Is the slate dishwasher safe?
No, it is highly recommended to hand wash the slate base to prevent damage or cracking.
What are the dimensions of the set?
The slate base measures 30 x 10cm, providing a narrow, elegant footprint.
Will the slate stain from oily foods?
Slate is a porous material; it is best to clean spills promptly to minimize the risk of staining.
Troubleshooting
The slate surface looks dull or greyish
Apply a small amount of food-grade vegetable oil to a lint-free cloth and buff the slate surface to restore its natural dark sheen.
The tray feels unstable on the table
Ensure all four plastic feet are securely attached to the underside of the slate; check for any debris trapped under the feet.

- Versatile bowl sizes for various dips and hors d'oeuvres

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the tray is straightforward: place the slate base on a flat, level surface and position the three porcelain bowls in the desired arrangement. To maintain the slate, hand wash the base with warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using abrasive sponges that might scratch the stone. To rejuvenate the aesthetic of the slate, add a single drop of vegetable oil to a soft cloth and gently buff the surface; this will bring back the dark, rich luster of the stone. The porcelain bowls are easy to clean and can be washed separately in the sink or a dishwasher if preferred.
