Oven and freezer safe
All Arabia utility ware can be used in ovens and freezers. Do not take a dish straight from the oven and put it into a cold, wet surface or put it on steel. Do not put a dish straight into a hot oven from a freezer.
Microwave safe
All Arabia utility wares except dishes with gold or platinum decoration or metal parts are microwave safe.
Flameproof
Dishes stamped flameproof can be used for boiling, frying and heating on a stove or in an oven. They can also be used on an open fire. Do not leave an empty dish on the stove. It should contain some fat or liquid. Flameproof dishes must not be taken straight from freezer onto a hot stove. Not recommended for deep-frying.
Dishwasher safe
All Arabia utility wares are dishwasher safe except dishes decorated with gold or platinum. Use a rinsing agent in the dishwasher to improve the results. Very dirty dishes can be soaked in hot water with detergent containing bleach. Cutlery made of soft steel, especially knives, may leave streaks of metal on a hard glazed surface that cannot be removed in a normal wash. (These can be removed by rubbing gently with metal polish.) Check the quality of cutlery when you buy it. To protect the glazing, avoid heavy rubbing when, for example, stacking plates.
