Know before you buy
Yes, natural slate is food-safe and ideal for serving items like cheeses, charcuterie, and appetizers. It is a non-porous material, though we recommend wiping it clean with a damp cloth rather than soaking it.
While the slate is durable, it is designed primarily as a serving platter. Using sharp knives directly on the surface will dull your blades and may scratch the laser-engraved pheasant design.
Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid putting the paddle in the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh chemicals can damage the natural stone and the rope hanger.
Yes, the protective foam backing provides a non-slip grip on most surfaces and prevents the slate from scratching your dining table or countertops.
The pheasant design is laser-engraved, meaning it is permanently etched into the surface of the slate. This creates a tactile, high-contrast look that won't fade or peel over time.
