Care & Usage Tips
- Wash thoroughly with dish soap and a soft sponge before first use.
- After each use, remove food debris and dry completely before storing to maintain its shine.
- Do not place directly over an open flame or high heat source.
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh impact to preserve the mesh surface.
- Keep out of reach of young children when not in use.
- Minor wire-drawing lines or welding marks on the surface are a natural characteristic of the manufacturing process — not a quality defect.
