FAQs

Can I use these in the oven?

These dishes are microwave safe, but they are not intended for use in a conventional oven.

How many dishes are included in the set?

This set includes three square mini dishes.

Are the illustrations prone to fading?

When cared for properly by avoiding abrasive cleaners, the illustrations remain vibrant through repeated holiday seasons.

What are the exact dimensions?

Each dish measures 5 cm in height, 9.8 cm in width, and 9.8 cm in depth.

Are they suitable for serving liquids?

Yes, they are suitable for sauces, dips, and other liquid-based accompaniments.

Can I put these in the freezer?

It is not recommended to move these directly from a freezer to a microwave, as thermal shock may cause the ceramic to crack.

Troubleshooting

Stubborn food residue after serving dips

Soak the dishes in warm soapy water for a few minutes before placing them in the dishwasher.

Dishes feeling hot after microwave use

Always use a heat-safe mat or towel when removing the dishes from the microwave, as ceramic can retain significant heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and traditional holiday design
  • Convenient dishwasher and microwave safety
  • Perfect size for side dips and small servings
  • Durable enough for annual festive use

Cons

  • Limited capacity due to compact size
  • Design is seasonal and may not suit non-holiday decor
  • Sold as a set of three, which may require multiple sets for large parties

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Portmeirion dishes in pristine condition, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the decorative foliage and berry illustrations. While they are dishwasher safe, placing them on the top rack is recommended to extend the life of the surface glaze. Ensure the dishes are completely dry before stacking them for storage to prevent any moisture buildup between pieces.
