Know before you buy
To maintain the finish, hand wash the platter with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. It is not dishwasher safe, and you should avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
No, this platter is not oven or microwave safe. It is designed specifically for serving and decorative display rather than cooking or reheating.
The center of the platter is flat, providing a stable surface for roasts, appetizers, or desserts. The edges feature a wavy, sculptural design that adds visual interest while framing your food.
The platter measures 18 x 12 inches, offering a generous surface area suitable for large main courses like roasts, charcuterie spreads, or an assortment of desserts. Its rectangular shape makes it particularly efficient for arranging long items or multiple small plates.
While the aluminum alloy is durable, it is best to avoid leaving highly acidic foods, such as citrus or vinegar-based dressings, on the surface for extended periods to prevent potential discoloration or pitting.
