FAQs

Is the Dexam Sintra platter microwave safe?

While the product is oven safe, it is best to check the manufacturer's specific labeling for microwave usage, as terracotta can sometimes heat unevenly.

Can I use this for hot food?

Yes, the platter is designed to be heat-resistant and is suitable for serving hot dishes straight from the oven.

Is it safe for food contact?

Yes, the glaze used on the Sintra range is food-safe and intended for direct contact with various types of food.

Will the glaze fade over time?

If properly maintained and washed using gentle detergents, the vibrant glaze is designed to remain durable and colour-fast.

What should I do if the platter chips?

Minor chips can occur with terracotta; it is recommended to stop using the piece for food service if the chip exposes the porous clay underneath.

Troubleshooting

Stubborn food residue

Soak the platter in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes before cleaning; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that may damage the glaze.

Surface water spots

Dry the platter immediately after washing with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Dexam Sintra platter remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Cleaning: While the platter is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a gentle detergent is recommended to preserve the integrity of the glaze over time.
  • Oven Usage: Avoid moving the platter directly from a cold environment (like a refrigerator) to a hot oven, as the sudden change in temperature can cause thermal shock and lead to cracking.
  • Storage: Due to its size, ensure you have adequate cabinet space. If stacking with other dishes, place a protective cloth or felt sheet between them to prevent the glaze from scratching.
  • Compatibility: The platter is available in multiple colours, including Blue, Grey, Ochre, and Green, allowing you to mix and match with existing kitchen decor.
