STYLEWARE COLLECTION CARE GUIDE

Before first use, gently handwash your lids and bowls in soapy water, and you’re good to go! See important tips for dishwasher use below.

Release air when seating your lids to ensure the best seal.

Bowls are best with plastic and wooden utensils because they help avoid scratching.

Like the rest of us, avoid too much time in the sun. What burns and wrinkles us can fade and warp your Styleware, so be kind to your bowls.

Avoid direct flames or heat, though warm food and microwaves work fine with your bowls (pop the lid off before any nuking).

Don’t cut or slice food directly in or on your Styleware (duh!)

When heated, foods high in fat, sugar, or oil can burn your Styleware pieces. To avoid any permanent damage, avoid transferring them into your bowls before they’ve had time to cool down.  Likewise, never seal your lid with steaming foods, as gas trapping may lead to the lid popping off, and burns/damage may result. Ensure the contents have cooled sufficiently before sealing.

You might not know that when you store your Styleware, keep the lids stacked in their pile and the bowls nested together (instead of sealing the lids on the bowls, which can affect air freshness).

CLEANING

A soft sponge or cloth and warm, soapy water are the best things for your Styleware and will help to preserve glossy finishes.

All Styleware pieces are dishwasher safe — hurrah! — but extreme heat warps, so stick to 45-degree cycles, and keep your bowls and lids on the top rack, carefully positioned so they’re not squished between other items. ALWAYS run your bowl and its lid in the same load to maintain the integrity of the seal.

In life, are we right? Seriously though, abrasive cleaners will dull the finish or scratch your Styleware.

To help avoid them, rinse your Styleware immediately after use with warm water when you’ve gone for more colourful foods, like tasty curries, dyed iced cupcakes, tomato pastes, watermelon and whatnot, or opt for our darker colours when choosing your bowls.

Styleware Nesting Bowls collection is designed for reheating and eating, not cooking. We’d recommend you stick to a medium wattage (500W) and short bursts with stirring since extreme heat can warp or damage our bowls.

When heated, foods high in fat, sugar, or oil can burn or damage your Styleware pieces. Food like this may be microwaved in another dish or briefly microwaved on a lower setting. To avoid staining, it is best to avoid heating foods like tomato-based sauces, beetroot, curries or foods with high fat or high sugar content. We recommend using another dish for these types of foods. Our darker colourways are the best choice to avoid staining.

Styleware bowls are compatible with the microwave, but please keep the lids out.

When handling your Styleware bowl, use gloves or mitts to protect your precious hands when removing warm food from the microwave.

Those colourful foods like tomato-based sauces, brighter curries and watermelon (go figure!) might cause staining due to the natural colourants in those foods and vegetables. This has no effect on the quality or functionality of your Styleware, but here’s a pro tip: choose darker colours for these kinds of foods.

This last one is a tip you probably already know, but don’t put your Styleware into a conventional or convection oven, onto a stovetop, in, on, or under a grill.

Low temperatures cause a temporary reduction in impact strength. Or said even more straightforward, they’re more likely to break if dropped, so be extra careful when cool or cold.
