Know before you buy
No, this server is not oven or microwave safe. It is designed specifically for elegant food presentation and serving rather than cooking or reheating.
To preserve the finish, hand wash the server with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents that could scratch the polished stainless steel surface.
While the edges feature a unique, artisanal hand-welded texture, they are finished to be safe for handling during serving. However, because each piece is individually crafted, there may be slight variations in the texture of the edges.
Not at all. The asymmetrical design is intended to add visual interest and a modern aesthetic to your table setting while remaining stable on flat surfaces. Its 10.5-inch length makes it a versatile size for serving sides or appetizers.
It is best to avoid leaving highly acidic or salty foods in the server for extended periods. Prolonged contact can potentially dull or affect the polished finish of the stainless steel over time.
