Jars Maguelone Platter / Outremer

A generously-sized platter with a raised edge produced exclusively for Borough Kitchen.

---DETAILS---

Though Jars Ceramistes is a family-run company that’s been around since 1857, their tableware is perfectly suited to contemporary needs. Their ceramics are very hard-wearing, able to resist cracks, fading, and the stress of dishwashers and microwaves. This is a result of an energy-saving manufacturing process that fires only once at 1285°C rather than the standard three times. Jars factories also recycle all the water and heat used in production, keeping waste and pollution to an absolute minimum. This Platter from the Maguelone range has a slightly irregular oval shape with a raised edge that has a windswept look and Jars' signature crackled glaze. The non-porous glaze has a varied hue that emphasises the purity of handmade stoneware.

This piece can be pre-heated in a low oven (max 150°C) from room temperature. It should not be used for cooking. Over 200°C and in particular when using oil, the crackled-effect glaze can 'open' and may let colours of cooked foods in, therefore making it impossible to remove.

---BENEFITS---

'Restaurants love Jars plates, bowls and cups because they can go through the dishwasher multiple times a day but still maintain their lustre—and they look lovely when mixed with multiple colours from a range.'
