FAQs

Are these plates lead-free?

Yes, Elk And Friends porcelain is designed to be food-safe and free from harmful chemicals like lead and BPA.

Can the silicone sleeve stay on in the dishwasher?

While the sleeve is dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to remove it periodically to ensure the area between the porcelain and the sleeve is cleaned properly.

How do I remove the silicone sleeve?

Simply peel the edge of the silicone away from the underside of the plate and slide it off. It is designed to be snug but flexible.

Are these plates suitable for a toddler?

Yes, they are an excellent transition from plastic to real porcelain, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children due to the weight and material.

Can I put these in the oven?

These plates are rated for microwave use. Avoid placing them in a conventional oven, as rapid temperature changes can cause porcelain to crack.

Troubleshooting

Silicone sleeve feels loose or slips off.

Remove the sleeve, wash and dry both the sleeve and the porcelain thoroughly, then re-apply to ensure a tight, friction-based fit.

Stains appearing under the silicone sleeve.

Regularly remove the sleeve during routine cleaning to prevent moisture and food debris from collecting in the gap.
