Slate Serving Tray With Metal Handles - Meg Hawkins - Black

Yes, the natural slate is food safe. However, for best practice and longevity of the design, it is recommended to use it for serving and avoid direct prolonged contact with acidic foods without a barrier.

While slate is a natural stone, it is best to avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the surface without protection. Use trivets or placemats for very hot dishes to prevent potential thermal shock or damage to the illustration.

Oiling is optional but recommended to maintain the slate's appearance. Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil every few months, or as needed, to restore its deep color and protect the surface.

Please refer to the product’s detailed specifications section for exact dimensions, as these can vary slightly by model.

The pheasant illustration is printed onto the slate surface.

While the slate is durable, prolonged exposure to the elements (sun, rain, frost) may affect the finish and the printed design. It is best used for serving or display indoors.

Ensure the tray is dried immediately and thoroughly with a soft cloth after washing. If spots persist, try wiping with a cloth lightly dampened with white vinegar and then drying completely.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods. Hand wash gently and dry promptly. Consider applying a food-safe mineral oil periodically to protect the surface.

Check if the screws securing the handles are tight. If they are, and the handles remain loose, contact customer support for further assistance.
