Mela Artisans Etta Bowls

Yes, these acacia wood bowls are suitable for serving warm dishes. However, they are not intended for use in the microwave, oven, or dishwasher, as extreme heat and moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.

To keep the wood in good condition, hand wash the bowls with mild soap and warm water, then dry them immediately with a soft cloth. We recommend periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil to preserve the wood's natural luster and prevent it from drying out.

Because each bowl is handcrafted from natural acacia wood, the grain patterns and color variations will be unique to every piece. You can expect slight differences in appearance, which is a hallmark of authentic artisanal woodcraft.

Acacia wood is generally durable, but it is porous. While they are fine for serving salads, it is best to avoid leaving acidic or highly pigmented foods in the bowls for extended periods to prevent staining or absorption of flavors.

Yes, the Etta bowls are designed to be stackable. This makes them convenient to store in kitchen cabinets or on open shelving when not in use.
