Can I cook in my Brillante pieces?

Brillante is not cookware, but serveware. However, pieces may be warmed in the oven up to 325 degrees…and don’t forget that it holds a chill, so it is perfect for outdoor entertaining.

Is the aluminum serveware food safe?

Yes, our Brillante exceeds FDA requirements for aluminum serveware.

Can I use an engraving pen on my Brillante for friends to sign and commemorate a special piece?

Yes, many customers love to sign special pieces for weddings or corporate events.

How can I remove scratches from my platters?

You can revive your Brillante with Simichrome, a wonderful non-abrasive polish available through your Brillante dealer, but if it has been deeply scratched, there is no way to thoroughly buff out these marks. We recommend storing your Brillante in its flannel pouch for optimal care.

My Brillante bowl was put in the dishwasher. What can I do?

I received a wedding present that doesn’t work for me. Can I return it directly to you?

How long can water stand in the ice bucket?

Standing water may discolor the inside of your ice bucket or any other Brillante item. It’s best to empty these pieces on a periodic basis, and for sure before you go to bed after the party’s over!

Can you microwave the ceramics?

Ceramics may become hot to the touch when heated in the microwave. In addition, bubbles in the clay may cause the pieces to break or develop fine cracks. We recommend that, if necessary, you use the microwave with caution.
