\"Limoni<\/a>You have just purchased a nice set of Italian ceramic<\/a> dinner plates and made an extra effort to buy a pasta bowl and a serving platter.<\/p>\n

Your first thought when you see them nicely displayed on your table is “Oh my Gosh! Aren\u2019t they gorgeous?<\/p>\n

Your second thought is “How can I make this treasurable dinnerware set last forever? Well, at least as long as I\u2019m here to admire it”.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n

A little extra care is all you need to keep enjoying your beautiful Italian ceramic dinnerware for a lifetime hopefully yours and your children\u2019s and your grandchildren\u2019s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go through our list of golden nuggets.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use your fine Italian ceramics for cooking or re-heating.<\/strong>
\nThat means you should not place your beautiful pieces in the oven or microwaves or directly on a burner.
\nYou will be wondering why, since Italian ceramic is kiln fired twice at more than 1600\u00b0 F, so it clearly can stand high temperatures. The truth is that the risk of cracking or chipping your pieces when very hot and unevenly covered with food is real. And you don\u2019t want to run it, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n

Avoid sudden temperature changes.<\/strong>\"Italian<\/a>
\nIt\u2019s exactly like when you\u2019re taking a warm bath: you fill the tub and then you settle down slowly and comfortably.
\nThat\u2019s what your Italian ceramic plates like: being tempered with warm tap water before serving very hot foods or liquids.
\nIt\u2019s important to avoid possible thermal shock and cracking. A trick you can use: put a metal spoon in your Italian ceramic bowl or soup tureen while pouring a
\nhot liquid to deflect the heat.<\/p>\n

Do use your dishwasher, if you think it\u2019s too much effort to hand wash your Italian ceramic.<\/strong>
\nBut stay on the safe side using a fine china cycle, low heat and a good quality detergent.
\nPay attention when placing your pottery into the machine: your pieces have to stay far apart to avoid touching each other during the
\ndishwashing cycle.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use scouring powders or other harsh remedies to remove stains and dry food from your Italian ceramic plates or serving accessories.
\n<\/strong>You can remove dry food putting your ceramics in soapy warm water and letting it soak for a few minutes. \"Italian<\/a>You may use a plastic scrubber for the worst bits.
\nTo remove tea stains from your hand painted ceramic cups, fill them with a solution of 2 tablespoons of chlorine bleach per quart of water, let them soak 1-2 minutes, then rinse them. They\u2019ll look like new!
\nFor the first time in years you\u2019ve managed to eat up all your Thanksgiving turkey. But your smile freezes when you look at the black marks left by your cutlery on your beautiful Italian ceramic plates. Don\u2019t panic! Clean them with a good quality, non abrasive metal cleaner and concentrate on digesting the turkey.<\/p>\n

Now.<\/p>\n

Do you think the beauty and the artistry of your fine Italian ceramics are worth such a small extra effort?<\/p>\n

If the answer is YES your grandchildren will thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
