Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your serving tray, wash it thoroughly with mild soap before its first use. While the piece is dishwasher safe, placing it in the rack without direct contact with other metal items will prevent surface scratching. When moving from the freezer to an oven, allow the tray to reach room temperature to avoid potential thermal shock. Always store in a secure cupboard, ideally using a protective felt or cloth divider if stacking with other trays to prevent chipping.
