FAQ

Can I store other vegetables or herbs in this keeper?

While the design is optimized for garlic, the breathable terracotta material can also accommodate other small, low‑moisture items such as shallots, ginger, or fresh herbs, provided they are kept dry.

Is the terracotta safe for use in the microwave?

Yes, the container is microwave‑safe, but the ceramic lid should be removed before heating to avoid any potential damage.

How does the aeration system work?

The rear aeration holes create a gentle airflow that prevents moisture from accumulating inside the container, which helps maintain the natural flavor and prevents premature sprouting.

What is the care routine for the ceramic lid?

The lid can be placed in the dishwasher for routine cleaning, or hand‑washed with mild soap if you prefer a more delicate approach.

Will the terracotta color fade over time?

The glazed finish is designed to retain its rich, earthy hue for years, even with regular use and cleaning, ensuring the keeper remains a lasting kitchen accent.
