Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about our products, wood care, delivery, payments, returns and custom orders.
Products
Yes. Our serving and kitchen products are finished with food-safe finishes, so they are safe for serving and everyday kitchen use.
Every piece is handcrafted from natural wood, so the grain, shade and knots vary slightly from piece to piece. That is what makes each OudArs product one of a kind.
We work with woods such as sheesham, neem and mango wood, depending on the product. The wood is mentioned in the product description. Read our guide Sheesham, Neem or Mango Wood? to know more.
Yes, for serving warm food. Sizzler and pizza platters are made for hot dishes, but wooden pieces should never go on an open flame, inside an oven or in a microwave.
Yes. Our products are made by skilled woodcraft artisans in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh — a city known for its woodwork for generations.
Care
Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap, rinse quickly and wipe dry immediately. Do not soak, and do not use a dishwasher or microwave.
Once a month, or whenever the wood looks dry and pale. Use a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil or coconut oil. See the full Wood Care Guide.
Scrub with coarse salt and half a lemon for stains, or a baking soda paste for smells. Rinse and dry well afterwards.
