Swiss pine bowls
Every Swiss pine bowl is turned individually from South Tyrolean stone pine — from the flat plate to the tall bowl with a lid. The open models come in four diameters and three heights, so they hold fruit, bread or keys just as well as sugar and salt.
Because the wood grew rather than being pressed, every piece differs in grain and knots. The bowls are untreated and can be wiped out with a damp cloth.
Never put them in the dishwasher and never let them soak: heat and lasting moisture make the wood crack. Oil them once or twice a year with a food-safe oil — not olive oil, which turns rancid.
How to clean, oil and de-stain a bowl is set out in detail in our article Caring for a Swiss pine bowl.
