Frequently Asked Questions
What does non-porous ceramic mean?
When ceramics are fired at a high enough temperature, it results in a smooth surface without microscopic holes. This ensures that the ceramic doesn't absorb flavours, odours or moisture, resulting in serious health risks such as bactieria growth. Furthermore, non-porous ceramics are less likely to crack or chip compared to their porous counterparts.
What does BPA-free mean?
BPA-free means that a product does not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used in the production of certain plastics and resins. BPA can leach into food or beverages from containers made with it, potentially causing health concerns. Products labeled as BPA-free are designed to ensure that they do not release this chemical, making them a safer choice for consumers, especially for items that come into contact with food and drinks, like bottles, containers, and kitchenware.
Can I clean the fondue set in the dishwasher?
Of course! While it is always advisable to handwash your dinnerware, you can definitely use the dishwasher to clean your fondue set. Ensure to use a mild detergent and a soft cycle when using the dishwasher, as harsh chemicals can ruin the finish of the product.
What does lead-free mean?
When we say our ceramics are lead-free, we mean that our paints and glazes are all lead-free. This is crucial as lead can leach into food and beverages when items are being used. Lead is an extremely toxic chemical and ingestion of it can lead to some serious health conditions, making it crucial to ensure that dinnerware is lead-free.
How long does it take for the pot to heat up?
It's important to note that the tealight candle provided with the set is a heat source to maintain the pot's temperature. Therefore, you would need to melt your fondue in the oven beforehand and place it on the stand to enjoy.
