Casual dinnerware labeled Oven Safe should follow these six simple rules to prevent thermal shock:
· Never put a cold item directly taken out of a freezer or refrigerator into a preheated oven.
· Items going into an oven should be placed into a 200-degree preheated oven for the first 8 to 10 minutes - after such time the temperature may be raised to 350 degrees, maximum.
· Do not use regular tableware (dinner plates, salad plates, cereal bowls, etc.) as akeware.
· Be careful not to put dinnerware or bakeware taken from the oven into water.
· Always use hot pads or oven mitts when putting items into and out of the oven.
· Do not expose your dinnerware to direct flame either on the stove top or in the broiler.
· When taking your dinnerware out of storage, you may find that the gold or platinum banding has discolored. A good cleaning in warm soapy water using a soft cloth should clean this discoloration and restore your dinnerware to its former beauty. Gold and Platinum do not tarnish and polish should never be used on your dinnerware as it could seriously damage the metal banding.
· We hope this information will help you keep your Noritake tableware beautiful and long lasting for generations to come. When you choose Noritake, you choose exceptional quality dinnerware of unsurpassed beauty and value from a name you can trust.
