Care Instruction:

• Enamel Coating Protection: Avoid dropping the plate on hard surfaces (e.g., rocks, camping stoves)—enamel chips easily on impact, which exposes the underlying steel to rust. If small chips occur, dry the area immediately after use to slow corrosion.
• Cleaning Care: Wash with mild soap and warm water after each use; avoid abrasive tools (e.g., steel wool, stiff scrub brushes) that scratch the enamel (scratches trap food residue and cause staining). For stuck-on food (e.g., cooked grains, sauce), soak in warm water for 5-10 minutes before gentle wiping.
• Heat Safety: Do not place the empty plate directly over open flames (e.g., campfires) or on hot stovetops—enamel can overheat, crack, or discolor, and the steel base may warp. Use a heat-resistant mat if placing the plate near heat sources (e.g., to hold hot food).
• Rust Prevention: Dry the plate completely after washing or use, especially if enamel is chipped. Moisture on exposed steel leads to rust—if rust spots appear, gently scrub with a soft brush and baking soda paste, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Storage Care: Store in a dry, ventilated space (e.g., a camping cookware bag); avoid stacking heavy items (e.g., pots, cans) on top of the plate (prevents enamel chipping and warping of the steel base). If storing with other dishes, wrap the plate in a cloth to protect the enamel from scratches.
• Stain Avoidance: Do not leave acidic or strongly pigmented foods (e.g., tomato sauce, curry, citrus) on the plate for extended periods—these can cause permanent enamel staining. Rinse the plate promptly after eating to minimize discoloration.
