Know before you buy
You can warm the terracotta stone in the oven at a low temperature before placing it into the water hyacinth basket. Ensure the stone is handled carefully with oven mitts, as it will retain heat to keep your serving dishes warm throughout the meal.
The basket is designed to hold the terracotta stone, which acts as the primary heat barrier. While the basket is durable, it is intended to house the stone rather than come into direct contact with extremely hot cookware.
Yes, the terracotta stone can be used independently as a heat-resistant surface. However, using it within the water hyacinth basket provides extra stability and a more polished, decorative look for your table.
The terracotta stone should be wiped clean with a damp cloth; avoid submerging it in water or using harsh detergents. The water hyacinth basket can be gently dusted or wiped with a dry cloth to maintain its natural texture.
The 8-inch diameter is ideal for most standard-sized serving bowls, casserole dishes, and small-to-medium platters. If you frequently serve very large roasting pans, you may want to measure the base of your cookware to ensure a proper fit.
