Today's pewter does not require polishing, making it very desirable for the dinner table. However, pewter has a low heat tolerance and cannot go into the oven, nor can it be washed in the dishwasher.
When buying pewter, review the manufacturer's care and cleaning guide to protect your new pewter wares. A little care when cleaning can keep your pewter looking its best.
