Product informations

At rice, we put a lot of love and care into everything we make. We love bringing color and small everyday magic moments into your home - with products designed for real, everyday life, again and again. 

On this page, you’ll find a simple, easy overview of the materials we use in our products. You can read about how to treat and care for them, so they stay beautiful for as long as possible. And because many of our products are also made for food and drinks, you’ll of course find the key information about testing and product safety too - so you can use them at home with confidence. 

Raffia

A natural, strong fiber 
Raffia is a natural fiber from raffia palms in Madagascar. It’s strong, flexible, and ideal for everyday storage and home accessories. 

Handmade and unique 
All rice raffia products are handmade in Madagascar. Because they’re crafted by hand from a natural material, no two pieces are exactly alike – this is part of the charm. 

Color and care 

  • Raffia is dyed by hand using AZO-free Basic Dye, so small variations in color and weave will occur. 
  • Avoid contact with water, as color may rub off 
  • Do not leave in direct sunlight for long periods, as it can fade over time 

Melamine

Strong plastic for everyday use 
Melamine is a high-quality plastic known for its strength, durability, and glossy surface. We use it for most of our tableware because it’s lightweight, long-lasting, and ideal for everyday meals. 

Food safety and testing 
All rice melamine products are tested to meet strict EU standards for food-contact materials. Our results are well below the permitted limits for substances like formaldehyde and melamine. To check safety and durability, we test the products by filling them with food-grade acetic acid heated to 70°C and repeating the test three times – to simulate tough, real-life use. 

Care
Melamine is made to last, but it needs a bit of care:

  • Replace the product if the surface becomes dull, cracked, or chipped
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Not suitable for microwave or oven use

Ceramic

Strong clay for everyday use 
Ceramic is made from natural clay and fired at high temperatures. It’s strong, long-lasting, and well-suited for everyday tableware. 

Handmade details and variation 
Many of our ceramic pieces are partly handmade – and some are hand-painted. This means small variations in color and surface are normal. Tiny cracks in the glaze may appear over time and are part of the material’s natural look. 

Care 

  • Most of our ceramics are dishwasher- and freezer-safe, but always check the label. 
  • Avoid oven temperatures above 240°C 
  • Do not move items directly from freezer to oven

Products informations

Ceramics

Most of our ceramics are dishwasher- and freezer-safe, but we always recommend checking the specifications for each item. Because clay is a “living” material, small cracks may appear over time - that’s normal. 

Use and care 

  • Dishwasher and freezer safe for most items (check the label) 
  • Small cracks may appear over time - this is part of the material 
  • Many pieces are hand-painted, so no two items are exactly alike 
Earthenware (ceramics)

A few items are made from earthenware. It allows bright, clear colors, but the clay is more fragile than porcelain or stoneware. 

Use and care 

  • Handle with care - earthenware may chip if treated roughly 
  • Not intended for oven use 
Enamel

Enamel is durable, but the surface can crack if not handled carefully. Over time, small scratches and a more matte finish may appear - this is natural. 

Use and care 

  • Handle gently to avoid cracks and chips 
  • Most enamel products are not dishwasher safe - always check the item specifications 
Melamine

Melamine is made for everyday life - durable, practical, and easy to use. Here’s how to get the best out of your rice melamine favorites. 

Use and care 

  • Dishwasher safe on a standard program at 60-70°C 
  • Not suitable for microwave or oven use 
  • Avoid hard knocks - melamine can break if dropped or hit 
  • If the surface becomes matte, cracked, or chipped, it’s time to replace the product 
  • Our tall cups are recommended for cold drinks only due to their size and construction.

Food safety and testing 
Food safety is a top priority for us. rice melamine products are approved by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and tested food safe according to EU standards. 

To simulate tough, real-life use, we test by filling the products with food-grade acetic acid heated to 70°C and repeating the test three times. This helps ensure they stay safe and reliable - again and again. 

Plastic

All our plastic products intended for food and drinks are tested food safe and meet Danish and EU requirements. They are also free from BPA and phthalates. 

Use and care 

  • Most plastic food products can be used in the microwave - always check the declaration on the specific item 
  • Discard the product if it fades, becomes matte, or shows cracks 
  • Most lids for food storage are not dishwasher safe 
Porcelain

Porcelain is strong, durable, and non-porous, with a long lifetime. It can handle both heat and cold - but like all ceramics, it can break if dropped. 

Use and care 

  • Dishwasher safe 
  • Suitable for microwave and oven use 
  • Can be used for storing food in the freezer 
  • Handle with care - porcelain may break if exposed to hard knocks 
Raffia  

Raffia is a natural, beautiful fiber we’ve worked with since our very first basket - and all our raffia products are handmade in Madagascar. Because it’s a natural material and crafted by hand, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Small variations in color, weave, and shape are part of the charm. 

We dye the raffia using AZO-free Basic Dye, and since the fibers absorb color differently, you may see slightly varied tones from product to product. 

Use and care Raffia is strong, but it appreciates a little extra love: 

  • Avoid water and moisture, as the color may rub off and the fibers can lose their shape 
  • Keep away from direct sunlight for long periods, as colors may fade over time 
  • Handle gently - avoid sharp edges or heavy pulling that can damage the weave 
  • If needed, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth and let it air-dry completely (never soak) 
  • Store in a dry place and avoid flattening the product to help it keep its natural form 
Silicone products

Our silicone products are made to make everyday life easier (and more colorful). You’ll find everything from straws and bowls to lids and tableware. Silicone is soft, durable, and especially great for children. 

Food safety 

  • Food safe and approved according to Danish and EU standards 
  • Free from BPA and phthalates 

Use and care 

  • Suitable for both microwave and dishwasher 
  • Baking molds are oven safe 
  • Silicone products for children are not suitable for the oven 
  • Strongly colored foods may cause staining over time 
Stainless steel

Our stainless-steel products are high quality and safe for food and drinks. To keep them looking great and working well, we recommend a little extra care - especially for bottles. 

Use and care 

  • Hand wash bottles to maintain function and appearance 
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners and rough sponges 
  • Don’t soak for long periods 
  • Avoid carbonated drinks in bottles 
  • Be careful with hot liquids 
  • Check the silicone seal regularly to help prevent leakage 
Stoneware (ceramics)

Our oven dishes are made of stoneware. Fired at very high temperatures, it’s made for oven use - but it needs the right handling. 

Use and care 

  • Suitable for oven use up to 240°C 
  • Never move stoneware directly from freezer to oven - sudden temperature changes may cause cracking 
Textiles

We love all things soft - from cozy blankets to airy cushions that add comfort and color to your home. We set high standards for quality and focus on recycling and minimizing waste in production. 

Use and care 

  • Follow the washing instructions on the label 
  • Avoid direct sunlight for long periods, as colors may fade over time 
Wood products

We love wood combined with colors - from chopping boards and dish brushes to wooden spoons and salad cutlery. We use different types of wood, and all wooden items must be washed by hand. 

Use and care 

  • Hand wash only 
  • Not dishwasher safe 
Play items

Our play items are made for fun, imagination, and everyday magic in the kids’ room. We create products for different ages, so it’s always a good idea to consider when your child is ready for smaller objects. 

Good to know 

  • Always check the age recommendation on the label 
  • Wooden items are not dishwasher safe 
  • For melamine products, see the melamine section for use and care tips
