Using this nut dish is a breeze. Just place the removable bowl in the main part of the dish and put your nuts or small snacks in it. You can use the spoon to pick up the nuts easily. When it comes to cleaning, simply wash the bowl and spoon with mild dish soap and warm water. Dry them thoroughly to prevent any water spots. For the brass parts, avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. If the brass starts to lose its shine over time, you can use a brass cleaner following the product's instructions. Keep this dish in a dry place when not in use to maintain its beauty.
