Mariposa Brillante Tips for Care & Use

* Always handwash your Brillante in warm, sudsy water soon after each use (also before using them for the first time) and towl-dry immediately.

* NEVER PUT BRILLANTE IN THE DISHWASHER OR THE MICROWAVE.

* Coat Brillante lightly with vegetable oil or spray when serving salads or salty foods.

* Avoid prolonged storage of acidic foods. Standing water will cause staining.

* Warm to 325°F (140°C) for serving hot foods. Freeze or chill for summer entertaining.

* Cutting directly on any metal surface will scratch the finish.

* Brillante exceeds FDA requirements for aluminum serve ware.

* Slight cooling and buffing marks are a natural result of handcrafting.

* Occasional use of a non-abrasive metal polish will revive Brillante's soft luster. (Simi-Chrome recommended). PLEASE NOTE: if your Mariposa has been put in the dishwasher or was immersed in water for a period of time no metal cleaner will bring the luster back.
