Know before you buy
The set is crafted from a durable, high-quality melamine. This material is specifically chosen for outdoor use because it is shatter-resistant and lightweight, making it ideal for patios, picnics, and poolside dining.
Yes, the Outdoor Core Set is top-rack dishwasher safe. We recommend avoiding high-heat settings or harsh detergents to maintain the finish of the plates and bowls over time.
No, this set is not microwave safe. Melamine should not be exposed to high heat from microwaves, as it can cause the material to degrade or release chemicals.
These pieces are significantly lighter than ceramic or stoneware, which makes them easy to transport for outdoor gatherings. While they feel substantial enough to not blow away in a light breeze, they lack the heavy, dense feel of traditional pottery.
While melamine is highly durable, it can be susceptible to surface scratches if you use serrated knives directly on the plates. We recommend using standard flatware and avoiding abrasive scouring pads during cleanup to keep the surface looking new.
