Have you ever wondered if you can put your fancy new pottery in the dish washer? The answer is a resounding yes! All our ceramics at Dandelionsdaydreams are crafted with not just beauty but also functionality in mind. Being dishwasher safe, these pieces blend seamlessly into your busy lifestyle. However, if you’re in the mood for a more meditative approach, they can just as easily be washed by hand. A gentle cleanse with soap and water will do the trick, ensuring your cherished piece stays pristine.

Oven Safety and Thermal Shock

Your kitchen adventures can include our pottery too! Our pieces are oven safe, adding a rustic charm to your baking endeavors. However, remember to avoid thermal shock – don’t put a cold pot in a hot oven. Instead, let the piece warm up with the oven when cooking at higher temperatures. This gradual heating helps maintain the integrity of the pottery, preventing any cracking and keeping your culinary creations safe.
