Know before you buy
Nambé Alloy is a proprietary metal blend known for its durability and ability to retain temperature. To maintain its signature silver luster, the platter should be hand-washed with mild soap and dried immediately; it is not dishwasher safe.
Yes, the Marupa Platter is oven-safe. This makes it a practical choice for warming appetizers or keeping main courses at the ideal temperature before serving.
While the Nambé Alloy is highly durable, it is a metal surface. To keep the finish looking pristine, we recommend using non-abrasive serving utensils and avoiding harsh scouring pads during cleaning.
The dimensions are quite generous, making it well-suited for serving everything from a spread of hors d'oeuvres to a main course roast. Its rectangular shape also allows it to function effectively as a decorative centerpiece or a catch-all tray when not in use for food.
Nambé Alloy does not require traditional silver polish. With proper hand-washing and drying, the metal will maintain its luster over time without the need for chemical cleaners.
