Know before you buy
While the bowl is food safe, melamine is not intended for use in the microwave or oven. It is perfectly fine for serving room-temperature or chilled seafood, but you should avoid placing boiling hot liquids or dishes directly into it.
Yes, the melamine construction is highly durable and shatter-resistant, making it an excellent choice for patio dining, picnics, or poolside entertaining where glass or ceramic might be a liability.
The bowl is dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup simple even after messy meals. For best results, we recommend placing it on the top rack of your dishwasher.
Despite its organic, wave-inspired shape, the base is designed to sit securely on flat surfaces. It provides a stable foundation for serving or for use as a discard vessel.
Yes, the material is freezer safe. However, keep in mind that melamine can become brittle at extremely low temperatures, so handle it with care when removing it directly from the freezer.
