Yes, the ladle is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward after serving soups or stews.
While the ladle is designed for serving, it is not microwave safe. We recommend using it primarily for portioning and serving rather than leaving it in a hot pot on the stovetop for extended periods.
Because each piece is handmade, there may be slight differences in the finish or pattern application. These subtle variations are a hallmark of the MacKenzie-Childs aesthetic and make each ladle unique.
