Dishwasher Safe
CURVD mugs are home dishwasher safe and can also handle the heat and detergents of industrial dishwashers.
- Home Dishwashers: Safe to use daily. Place mugs securely to avoid unnecessary movement.
- Commercial Dishwashers: While temperature and detergents are fine, we strongly recommend using a compartmented rack.
- In commercial kitchens, mugs often get loaded into non-compartmented racks where high water pressure makes them bang together. This can lead to handle damage or breakage.
- Tip: Always use a compartment rack and ensure staff handle mugs gently.
Microwave Safe
- All new CURVD mugs are printed with either Screen Printed Decals or Digital Print Decals, both of which are microwave safe.
- Older Human Friendly mugs made with sublimation prints are not microwave safe, but we no longer offer those products.
Handwashing
While CURVD mugs are dishwasher safe, handwashing is always a gentle alternative to extend their lifespan.
- Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap.
- Avoid metal scrubbers, which can scratch the surface and damage the glaze.
Safe Use & Precautions
Freezer Safe
CURVD mugs are safe for use in the freezer, making them perfect for iced coffee or pre-chilled drinks. Allow the mug to return to room temperature before exposing it to high heat to avoid thermal shock.
Oven Safe
- CURVD mugs are safe for use in a home oven or kiln up to Cone 1.
-
What is Cone 1?
- In ceramics, a "cone" measures heat-work, combining time and temperature. Cone 1 is approximately 2079°F / 1137°C, ensuring your mug can handle standard baking and warming needs without damage.
Avoid Metal Inside Your Mug
- Do not use metal beverage mixers inside the mug. They can scratch and leave visible lines on the glaze.
- Avoid stirring with sharp or metallic utensils that can damage the interior finish.
