Frequently Asked Questions About the Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer
-
How do I use my Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer?
It’s easy to use the Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then place the warming stone in the oven and heat for about 10 minutes (times vary by oven).

Place a clean tea towel or napkin on the stone, wrap your bread in the towel, and cover the basket with the lid to keep everything warm.
-
Will my Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer look the same as the photo?
Each terracotta warming stone is shaped and whitewashed entirely by hand, so slight variations in construction and finish are normal. The cardinal and foliage design remains consistent from stone to stone. The basket is also handwoven, meaning natural variations make each one unique.
-
What size is the Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer?
The Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer features an oval terracotta warming stone with a basket measuring about 12 1/2 inches wide, 8 1/2 inches deep, and 3 1/2 inches high without its lid. With the lid, it stands approximately 7 inches high. The oval silhouette is well suited for breadsticks, rolls, pastries, and other baked goods.
-
Is the Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer safe to place on my table?
Yes. When used as directed with the stone placed inside the basket, the Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer can sit on your dining table throughout your meal. Do not place the hot stone directly on your table or counters, as this may damage both the surface and the stone.
-
Can I use the Cardinal Lidded Breadwarmer to serve more than bread?
Yes. Bread is just one of the many items you can keep warm in your breadwarmer. The oval shape works well for rolls, muffins, small French breads, sourdough, tortilla chips, and hard taco shells. Always place a clean tea towel or napkin on top of the stone before adding your baked goods.
