Serveware

A large platter (for mains and roasts), a wooden cheese board (for entertaining), a serving bowl (for salads and sides), and a small dipping bowl. Four pieces handle most dinner-party scenarios.

No — wood warps and cracks in dishwashers. Hand wash with warm soapy water, dry immediately, and oil with mineral oil or board butter every few months to preserve the finish.

Hand wash with mild soap and water, dry immediately. Avoid acidic foods (lemon, vinegar) directly on marble — they etch the surface. Use parchment or a small plate as a buffer for citrus-heavy boards.

Yes, our stoneware platters are oven-safe up to 450°F. Avoid sudden temperature shifts (cold to hot, hot to cold) to protect the glaze.

For a 6-pound roast or whole chicken, look for a platter at least 16 inches long. For larger gatherings (turkey, brisket), 18-20 inches gives you carving room and space for garnishes.

Stoneware platters and bowls — yes. Wood and marble — no. Check the listing for materials before reheating leftovers in any serving piece.
