When it may not be suitable

This melamine bowl is not designed for use in direct oven heat or on stovetop burners and should not be used for cooking. Although dishwasher-safe, melamine can be sensitive to very high continuous temperatures and aggressive cleaning chemicals; follow care instructions to preserve appearance. For formal fine-dining presentations requiring porcelain or crystal, this utilitarian melamine piece may be less appropriate.
