Use & Care

Do not use over direct heat, in a microwave, or in an oven. The lacquer coating might peel off. There are also risks of deformation and fire.
Do not put them in the dishwasher.
Do not soak in water for a long period of time. Wipe them using a soft cloth. Remove the oil stain in the warm water mixed with dishwashing liquid.
Avoid using them in the fridge. Also avoid storing under direct sunlight or in an extremely dry place. These can cause the colors to fade.
Stop using them when there is a crack, a chip, or a fissure. Also stop using when the painting or the lacquer peeled off.
