Using this set is easy. First, you can use the fruit fork and spoon to pick up and eat your favorite fruits. The fork is great for larger pieces, while the spoon is handy for softer fruits. The fruit plug can be used to keep your fruits fresh in the jar. When you're done, since it's disposable, you can simply throw it away. However, if you want to reuse the stainless - steel utensils, just wash them with mild dish soap and warm water, then dry them thoroughly. Keep the ceramic jar in a cool, dry place to prevent any damage.
