Alessi JM14/35 Tray

Like any polished stainless steel surface, it is susceptible to fine scratches over time with regular use. To maintain the mirror finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh scouring pads when cleaning.

The rim is intentionally low-profile to maintain its minimalist aesthetic. While it provides a defined edge for carrying, it is best suited for stable items like glassware or small appetizers rather than liquids that might slosh easily.

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. For stubborn fingerprints or smudges, a standard stainless steel cleaner or a glass polishing cloth works well to restore the shine.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is heat-resistant. It can safely hold warm serving dishes, though the metal itself may become hot to the touch depending on the temperature of the item placed on it.

Yes, the high-polish, mirrored finish will show fingerprints and smudges quite clearly. It is a beautiful display piece, but expect to give it a quick wipe-down after handling to keep it looking pristine.
