Know before you buy
Because this platter is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. To maintain the wood's luster and prevent drying, apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner periodically.
No, this platter is not oven or microwave safe. It is designed for serving room-temperature or chilled foods like appetizers, charcuterie, or desserts.
The platter features a shallow 0.5-inch depth. While it provides a slight edge to help contain items, it is best suited for dry goods, crackers, or finger foods rather than liquids or sauces.
The Elmore platter is crafted from genuine Cherry wood and finished to highlight its natural grain. As with all natural wood products, it is recommended to keep it away from extreme heat and moisture to preserve its structural integrity.
With a generous 22-inch by 10-inch surface, this platter is well-sized for a large spread of appetizers or a main course for a small dinner party. Its rectangular shape makes it particularly efficient for arranging rows of hors d'oeuvres or a curated cheese board.
