How to Use Your Terracotta Bread Warmer

Setting up your basket to keep bread warm is incredibly simple and adds a functional wow-factor to dinner parties and holiday feasts:

1. Heat the Stone: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bare terracotta stone in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes so it can absorb the heat.

2. Prepare the Basket: Carefully remove the hot stone (using oven mitts) and place it inside the bottom of the handwoven kaisa grass basket.

3. Add Baked Goods: Instantly lay your fresh sourdough, dinner rolls, muffins, or tortillas directly on top of the stone.

4. Cover and Serve: Place the matching grass lid on top to lock in the radiant heat and serve immediately.

Gifting Advice: If you are presenting this as a hostess or housewarming gift, consider pairing it with a jar of artisanal jam, high-quality butter, or a fresh loaf of sourdough from a local bakery to create a ready-to-enjoy culinary experience.

Care, Cleaning & Maintenance

To ensure your natural woven basket and warming stone last for years of dinner parties, please follow these strict yet simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning the Stone: Never soak the terracotta. Simply wipe the stone clean with a slightly damp cloth after it has completely cooled down.

• Cleaning the Basket & Lid: Gently wipe the natural grass fibers with a damp cloth to remove any crumbs, flour, or food residue.

• Storage: Ensure all pieces (especially the stone) are 100% dry before storing away in a cabinet to preserve the integrity of the natural materials.
