Properties of ceramic oven dishes

• Naturally non-stick:
  The glazed surface prevents food from sticking quickly, which makes cleaning easier. However, a light coating of grease is recommended to further facilitate baking.
• Dishwasher safe:
  Although hand washing can extend the lifespan, ceramic bowls are often dishwasher safe. Use a mild detergent to keep the glaze beautiful.
• Microwave and oven safe:
  Ceramic dishes can usually be used in both the oven and the microwave without any problems. This makes them versatile for preparing and heating dishes.
• Sensitive to thermal shock:
  Please note: Sudden temperature changes can damage the ceramic. Avoid placing a hot bowl directly on a cold surface or adding cold water to a warm bowl.
