Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: The bowl is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
• Stain Removal: Due to its stain-resistant properties, most food stains will wash off easily. For stubborn residues, a gentle scrub with baking soda paste can be effective.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sharp objects that could scratch the glass surface.
• Thermal Shock: While borosilicate glass is highly resistant to thermal shock, avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes. For example, do not pour very cold liquid into a hot bowl or place a hot bowl directly into cold water.
• Storage: Store the bowl in a manner that prevents chipping or cracking. If stacking, place a soft cloth or paper towel between bowls to prevent scratches.

Troubleshooting

Most issues with borosilicate glass bowls are related to improper handling or extreme thermal shock. Follow these general tips:

• Cracking/Shattering: This is typically caused by severe thermal shock (e.g., placing a very hot bowl on a cold, wet surface or vice-versa) or impact. Always allow the bowl to adjust to temperature changes gradually.
• Stains: While resistant, some highly pigmented foods might leave faint marks. Ensure prompt cleaning. If a stain persists, try a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit, then wash.
• Scratches: Avoid using metal utensils directly on the glass surface and abrasive cleaning materials to prevent scratches.
