Caring For Your Etta B
For the best care, I recommend hand-washing your pottery. While it is dishwasher safe, the rapid water movement can sometimes cause pieces to shift and bump into each other, leading to hairline cracks or breakage. Additionally, harsh detergents may be tough on the glazes over time. Should you choose to use the dishwasher, please place your pottery on the top rack with plenty of space between items.
Please enjoy baking in your pottery. Your pottery is oven-safe, but to ensure longevity, always allow it to warm gradually. Never place cold pottery directly into a preheated oven. Instead, place your cold dish into a cold oven and let it warm up with the oven to prevent thermal shock.
Note: Handmade pottery is not stovetop, induction, or open flame safe — direct heat can cause cracking and breakage.
To keep your pottery in its best condition, store it with care. Avoid stacking too many pieces directly on top of each other, as this can cause unnecessary pressure and potential chipping. If stacking is necessary, place a soft liner, such as a felt pad or cloth, between pieces to help protect them.
Your pottery is refrigerator-safe, making it perfect for storing leftovers or chilled dishes. However, it is not freezer-safe — extreme cold can cause thermal shock, leading to cracks or breakage.
While it is quite durable, pottery surfaces can develop utensil marks over time. To minimize this, use wooden or silicone serving utensils instead of metal when serving or cutting. If light scratches or utensil marks appear, they can often be gently buffed out using a ceramic cleaner. My favorite choice is Bar Keeper's Friend, available at most local stores or online.
