FAQs
Are these serving dishes safe for food?
Yes, they are made from sustainably sourced acacia wood, which is naturally moisture-resistant and suitable for serving food.
How should I clean the Kora Acacia serving dishes?
Hand wash them with warm water and mild soap. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Always dry them thoroughly immediately after washing.
Can I put hot food directly on the trays?
While the wood is durable, it's best to avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the surface for extended periods, as this can affect the wood over time. Use trivets or coasters if necessary.
How often should I oil the wood?
It is recommended to oil the wood every 1-3 months, or whenever it appears dry, to maintain its condition and appearance.
What does 'sustainably sourced' mean for this product?
It means the wood used to make the trays comes from forests managed in an environmentally responsible manner, ensuring ecological balance and long-term forest health.
Can these trays be used in the microwave or oven?
No, these serving trays are not microwave or oven safe.
What are the dimensions of each tray?
Each tray measures approximately H:3.0 x W:18.0 x D:13.0 cm.
Troubleshooting
Wood appears dry or dull
Apply a food-grade mineral oil to the surface using a clean cloth and allow it to soak in. Wipe off any excess. Repeat as needed.
Slight warping or cracking observed
Ensure the trays are not left wet after washing and are dried thoroughly. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperature or humidity changes. For minor issues, conditioning with mineral oil might help. Significant damage may require replacement.
Food stains on the surface
Clean the stain immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied. Rinse and dry thoroughly. For permanent stains, the wood may need refinishing or replacement.
Trays feel sticky or greasy
This could be residual oil. Wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry completely. Avoid over-oiling.
