Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can these plates go in the oven?
These plates are designed for microwave use and thermal shock resistance (fridge to microwave), but they are not intended for use in high-heat conventional ovens.
What is the diameter of these plates?
These plates are 19cm in diameter, making them the standard size for dessert, salad, or side dishes.
Are they dishwasher safe?
Yes, they are fully dishwasher safe and designed to withstand the heat and detergents used in standard cycles.
Is opalware the same as porcelain?
No, opalware is a type of tempered glass that is lighter and more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock than traditional porcelain.
Do they stain if used with acidic foods?
Because the surface is non-porous, these plates are highly resistant to staining from acidic foods like tomatoes or citrus.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn food residue
Soak the plate in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes rather than using a metal scouring pad, which may dull the surface.
Slipping during transport
Ensure the bottom of the plate is completely dry before placing it on a tray or carrying it, as the smooth base can slide on certain surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Use: Before the first use, wash the plates with warm soapy water to remove any manufacturing dust.
Microwave Compatibility: These plates are microwave-safe, but ensure they are not left in the microwave for extended 'boil-dry' sessions to maintain material integrity.
Dishwasher Care: Compatible with all standard dishwasher cycles; use a non-abrasive detergent to keep the surface glossy.
Storage: While durable, they are best stored in a stable stack to prevent sliding. Avoid placing very heavy cast iron items directly on top of them.
Manual Cleaning: If washing by hand, use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid micro-scratches over time.
