They're great for both hot and cold foods, and can be used in the microwave to reheat leftovers or keep food warm. When it's time to clean, you can either wash them by hand with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge, or pop them in the dishwasher for a hassle-free clean. To keep them looking their best, avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the surface. When stacking the plates, do it gently to prevent chipping.
