Troubleshooting

Utensils feel rough or have minor imperfections.

This can be a characteristic of melamine. Ensure you have washed them as per care instructions. Minor imperfections usually do not affect performance.

Utensils are scratched.

This typically occurs from contact with abrasive materials or sharp objects. Ensure you are only using these with compatible cookware and avoid harsh scrubbing. If scratching is severe, consider replacement.

Utensils have retained color from food.

This can happen with strongly pigmented foods. Try the baking soda paste method for stain removal. Avoid prolonged contact with such foods.

Utensil seems to be warping.

Melamine has a heat limit of 250°F. Ensure the utensil is not being exposed to temperatures exceeding this or left in contact with extremely hot surfaces for extended periods.
