Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Basiks Balti Dish in pristine condition, avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the polished finish. Instead, use a soft sponge and mild dish detergent. Ensure the dish is completely dried after washing to maintain the integrity of the silver-tone finish. While the dish is designed for robustness, it should be kept away from direct flame or induction surfaces unless specifically indicated for your cooktop type. Always use trivets when placing the hot dish onto wooden or plastic tabletops to prevent heat damage.
