HOW TO CARE: STONEWARE & PORCELAINE
Stoneware is a type of non-porous ceramic which has been fired at high temperatures (1200-1250C). It is characterized by its durability. Moreover, stone made ceramics are thicker and more opaque than porcelain.
Each of QUIET FORM ceramics is crafted and glazed by hand, making it unique.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Establishing a cleaning routine for your stoneware items from day one is very important. They also are dishwasher safe up to 70 °C. To achieve optimal results, we recommend avoiding harsh detergents that are citrus-based as they could remove any gloss or lacquer.
The bottom and unglazed surface of each product could take some colors from aggressive food pigments and food fats after long contact. Clean unglazed surfaces in the next few hours after usage. If the surface has absorbed color, you can try to restore purity with citric acid.
Additionally, renounce from using metal pads to clean your stoneware but opt for gentle nylon pads instead.
We recommend hand washing for items decorated with gold. Avoid putting it in microwave oven - the gold could fire out.
RISK OF TEMPERATIRE CONTRAST
Be aware that stoneware is sensitive to rapid temperature changes. Always make sure your stoneware is brought to room temperature before cleaning, otherwise cracks and chipping might occur. Don't cook in stoneware tableware in oven, because of the risk contrast temperature changes.
