Troubleshooting
Slate surface appears dull or dry.
Apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil to the slate surface with a soft cloth and wipe off any excess. This will restore its natural sheen.
Food sticks to the slate.
Ensure the platter is lightly oiled before serving, especially for sticky foods. For cleaning, use a non-abrasive scraper gently.
Copper handles tarnish over time.
Gently polish the copper handles with a soft cloth and a mild copper cleaner. Dry thoroughly afterward.
