Know before you buy
The cork lid creates a natural, breathable seal that helps maintain the ideal humidity levels for fruit. It also acts as a physical barrier to deter fruit flies while allowing enough airflow to prevent premature spoilage.
Yes. The ceramic base is highly versatile and safe for use in the oven up to 500°F (250°C), as well as in the microwave and freezer. It is designed to withstand thermal shock, so you can transition it between different temperature environments.
Not at all. The ceramic base is dishwasher safe and features a scratch-resistant glaze that prevents food residue from sticking. The cork lid should be wiped clean with a damp cloth rather than submerged in water.
