Know before you buy
Because this platter is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it using mild soap and warm water. Avoid soaking the slate and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after cleaning to maintain its finish.
No, this platter is not oven safe. While it is designed to hold cooked oysters, you should prepare them in a separate oven-safe dish and transfer them to the slate platter once they are ready to be served.
Slate is a natural, durable material, but it can be porous. To keep it looking its best, you can occasionally rub a small amount of food-grade mineral oil onto the surface to enhance its natural color and provide a light protective barrier.
Yes, the platter is specifically designed with indentations to securely hold six oysters. This ensures they remain stable and upright, preventing any spills or sliding while you are moving the platter to the table.
While it is custom-fitted for half a dozen oysters, the modern oval design is versatile enough to serve other small appetizers, such as stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs, or individual amuse-bouche portions.
