Can I put this in the dishwasher?

Will the resin finish affect the taste of my food?
The resin finish is designed to be inert and food-safe, ensuring it does not affect the taste of your ingredients.
Troubleshooting
Residue is difficult to remove after use
Soak the bowl briefly in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. Ensure thorough rinsing and drying.
Wood exterior appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of food-safe mineral oil to a clean cloth and rub it into the wooden exterior. Allow it to soak in, then wipe off any excess. Repeat as needed.
Pestle feels rough
Check for any splinters or rough patches. If present, gently sand with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe clean. For maintenance, a light application of food-safe mineral oil can smooth the surface.
Slight imperfections in the finish
As this is a handmade item, minor variations are normal. If the imperfections significantly affect functionality or aesthetics, contact customer support.
