FAQ
Are these platters food-safe?
Yes! Our Ugqoko wooden platters are made from natural, untreated wood and are safe for serving food. We recommend treating them with food-safe mineral oil regularly.
How long does each platter take to make?
Each platter is hand-carved by our Zulu craftsmen and can take several days to complete, depending on the size and detail.
Are the platters all the same?
No, each platter is unique! Since they're hand-carved from natural wood, grain patterns, color variations, and subtle differences make every piece one-of-a-kind.
How do I care for my wooden platter?
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, dry immediately, and apply food-safe mineral oil monthly to maintain its beauty.
Can I use these platters for hot food?
We recommend using them for room temperature or cool foods. Extreme heat can damage the wood over time.
