Care and Maintenance
- Hand wash only: Never put this wooden set in the dishwasher, as high heat and water cause the wood to expand, warp, and crack. Wash gently with warm water and mild soap.
- Dry immediately: Let the pieces air-dry completely in a well-ventilated spot.
- Oil occasionally: As recommended rub a little food-safe oil (such as olive or sunflower oil) into the wood with a cloth whenever it starts looking dry or dull.
