Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your baker for the first time, wash it in warm, soapy water to remove any dust from packaging. When baking, ensure the dish is placed on an oven rack with sufficient clearance for air circulation. Although stoneware is durable, avoid placing a cold dish directly from the refrigerator into a preheated oven to prevent thermal shock; allow the baker to reach room temperature first. When cleaning, the stoneware is dishwasher safe, but hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to maintain the finish of the embossed fruit motifs over many years of use.
