Mariposa Pearled Platter

Yes, the aluminum construction handles warm foods well. However, it is not intended for use in the oven or on the stovetop, so please ensure your food is already heated before placing it on the platter.

Hand wash the platter with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents, as these can dull the polished surface over time.

No, this piece should be hand washed only. The high heat and harsh chemicals found in dishwasher detergents can damage the polished aluminum finish and cause discoloration.

While the overall dimensions are 10.5 by 10.5 inches, the decorative pearl border takes up a small portion of the edge. You will have a generous, flat square area in the center that is perfect for arranging appetizers or desserts.

Generally, no. The polished finish is designed to maintain its luster with regular hand washing and drying. If you notice it losing its shine after years of use, a standard metal polish safe for aluminum can be used sparingly.
