Our high-fired porcelain is non-porous and built to withstand the rigors of commercial kitchens, making it 100% dishwasher safe for your home.

• Dishwasher: feel free to use your dishwasher's normal cycle. We recommend using a mild, liquid detergent to maintain the glossy finish over time.
• Loading: Ensure plates are spaced so they don’t vibrate against each other during the wash cycle to prevent chipping.
• Hand Wash: If washing by hand, use a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive metal scouring pads (steel wool), as they can leave grey metal marks on the surface or dull the glaze over years of use.

Your Two Eight ceramics are fired at 1320°C, making them extremely durable and safe for the microwave and oven (up to 400°F / 200°C).

The Golden Rule: Avoid Thermal Shock.
While our porcelain handles high heat effortlessly, ceramics don't like sudden, extreme temperature changes.

• Do not take a cold plate directly from the fridge/freezer and put it into a hot oven or microwave.
• Do not plunge a hot dish directly into cold water.
• Always let your ceramics come to room temperature before heating or cooling.

To prevent sliding in the kiln, the "foot" (the bottom ring) of our plates is left unglazed. While we polish this foot smooth, it is naturally harder than the glazed surface of the plate below it.

• To prevent scratches: When stacking plates or bowls in your cabinet, we recommend placing a felt divider, a napkin, or a paper towel between each piece.
• This simple step keeps the glaze pristine and prevents the "foot" of the top plate from scratching the face of the bottom plate.

Sometimes you may notice grey lines on your dinnerware after using steak knives or silverware. Don't panic—your plate is not scratched!

Because our porcelain is harder than most kitchen cutlery, the metal from your silverware can actually rub off onto the surface of the plate. These are metal deposits, not cracks.

How to remove them:

• Mild: A paste of baking soda and water often does the trick.
• Pro: For stubborn marks, we highly recommend a specialized cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend (powder or liquid). Gently rub the mark, and it will disappear, leaving your plate looking brand new.
