Know before you buy
The hand-hammered finish is quite forgiving compared to a polished mirror surface. While it may show some marks with heavy use, the texture helps mask minor smudges and fingerprints.
Yes, the handles are securely attached and designed for functional use. However, because pewter is a softer metal than steel, we recommend gripping the handles firmly and supporting the base of the tray when carrying heavy loads.
To preserve the luster of the stainless steel and the detail of the pewter, hand wash the tray with mild soap and warm water. Dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots, and avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the finish.
While the stainless steel base is durable, we do not recommend placing the tray directly in the oven. It is best used as a serving vessel for food that has already been prepared or plated.
Stainless steel is generally non-reactive and safe for most food contact. However, it is best practice to avoid leaving highly acidic foods on the surface for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the hand-hammered finish.
