Care of Portmeirion Pottery
Portmeirion
Pottery is renowned for its beauty, originality and
practicality.
All pottery pieces are of oven to table
quality and are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe. Most
of the range is made from a high fired, dense, very white
earthenware that is particularly resistant to chipping and
breaking.
The bakeware/ovenware is made from a strong,
white stoneware which is resistant to temperature changes
and is able to withstand oven temperatures up to 200C/390F.
The ovenware is distinguished by a ribbed, slightly rough
finish on the base, which makes it less liable to slip.
By following the basic guidelines below, your Portmeirion tableware will remain as colourful and vibrant as the day it was purchased and give you many years of faithful service.
Portmeirion
tableware is guaranteed oven-safe to 170C/340F and bakeware
to 200C/390F.
Do not subject the ware to sudden temperature
changes.
Avoid going from a hot oven to a cold surface,
such as tile, stone or metal, or from a hot oven to washing
up.
Do not put empty ware into a hot oven.
Portmeirion
Pottery ware is freezer safe.
Do not place ware just
removed from a freezer directly into a hot oven; place ware
into a cold oven and allow dish and food to heat together.
Dishwasher
temperatures should not exceed 65C/149F.
Use a rinse aid
and in hard water areas, always use dishwasher salt/water
softener.
Use the
recommended measurement of detergent in the dishwasher. Too
much can be very harsh to glazed surfaces. Use mild
detergents.
For stubborn
stains, soak in a solution of dishwashing liquid or bleach,
then rinse well.
Do not scrape the surface of a dish with
cutlery of use metallic scourers.
Some of the Glassware is not suitable for dishwashers
