Question 1

Q. Can I put The Little Garlic Plate in the dishwasher?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but as with all pottery try to avoid thermal shock - taking it from a very hot to     a very cold environment suddenly (or visa versa).

Question 2

Q. How long will it last?

Accepted Answer

It all depends how often you use it, and what for, but if you look after it properly, it will last for many, many years to come.
Don't use for frozen foods or scrape with a metal implements.
If it does become broken or worn, it should be discarded. Don't attempt to fix it.

Question 3

Q. Doesn't it hold / transfer the flavour?

Accepted Answer

It's fully glazed like any other modern crockery, so as long as you wash it in warm soapy water, there will be no flavour transfer.

Question 4

Q. Why do you need to use water / oil?

Accepted Answer

This helps lubricate the surface of the plate and allows you to achieve a much smoother puree, which is then easy to sweep off the plate.
The rule is 'use it wet for wet foods (with juice) & dry for dry foods'.

Question 5

Q. Do you need to peel the garlic?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is No, but occasionally you get very old dry garlic with flaky skin, which is better removed. A silicone garlic peeler will make light work of this.
