FAQs
Are these trays dishwasher safe?
No, these bamboo trays are not dishwasher safe. The high heat and prolonged exposure to water in a dishwasher can cause the bamboo to warp, crack, or grow mildew. Please hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately.
Can I use these trays for cutting food?
While bamboo is durable, these trays are primarily designed for serving. Using them as a cutting board is not recommended as it can damage the surface and potentially dull your knives.
What is the weight capacity of these trays?
The trays are designed for typical serving loads of food and drinks. While they are sturdy, avoid placing excessively heavy items that could stress the joints or cause breakage. Info needed: [specific weight capacity in kg/lbs]
How do I prevent the bamboo from drying out or cracking?
Regularly wipe the trays with a damp cloth and dry them completely. Periodically, you can apply a food-safe mineral oil to the bamboo surface. This helps to moisturize the wood and maintain its natural resilience.
Are the trays food-safe?
Yes, bamboo is a natural and food-safe material. As long as you clean and maintain them properly, they are safe for direct contact with food.
Can I use these trays outdoors?
Yes, they can be used outdoors for serving. However, avoid leaving them exposed to direct sunlight or rain for extended periods, as this can damage the bamboo. Bring them indoors after use.
What are the exact dimensions of each tray?
The set includes three trays with the following dimensions: Large: 29.5cm (W) x 41.5cm (L) x 5cm (H); Medium: 28cm (W) x 40cm (L) x 5cm (H); Small: 25.5cm (W) x 38cm (L) x 5cm (H).
Troubleshooting
Tray appears warped or cracked
This usually happens due to prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme temperature changes. Ensure trays are always dried thoroughly after cleaning and stored in a consistent, dry environment. Applying food-safe mineral oil periodically can also help prevent drying out.
Stains on the bamboo surface
For most food stains, a quick wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap should suffice. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently rubbed on, then rinsed and dried thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Tray feels sticky or greasy after cleaning
This might be due to residual soap or food oils. Ensure you rinse the tray thoroughly with a damp cloth after using soap and dry it completely. Avoid using excessive oil during conditioning.

- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth immediately after use. For tougher spots, a mild soap can be used, but always rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a clean towel.
