Know before you buy
To chill the bowl, place it in the freezer for at least an hour before serving cold items like salads or shrimp. To heat it, place the bowl in an oven at a low temperature (up to 350°F) to keep warm dishes like rolls or appetizers at the right temperature.
No, the Nambé Wave Bowl must be hand washed. Use mild soap and warm water, and be sure to dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the alloy's luster.
While the Nambé Alloy is durable, it is best to avoid leaving acidic foods in the bowl for extended periods. Serving is fine, but you should wash and dry the bowl promptly after use to protect the finish.
The rising and falling rim is a design feature, but it does not create hard-to-reach crevices. A standard soft sponge or cloth will easily clean the interior and the edges.
Yes, the bowl is designed with a stable base that ensures it sits securely on any flat surface, such as a dining table or sideboard, even with the undulating rim design.
