Troubleshooting
Utensil appears stained.
While stain-resistant, some highly pigmented foods may cause minor discoloration over time. Try soaking in a mild bleach solution or running through a dishwasher cycle. For future use, try to clean promptly after contact with intensely colored foods.
Utensil feels slightly warped after use.
This may indicate exposure to temperatures exceeding the 250°F limit. Ensure utensils are not left in hot pans for extended periods and are kept away from direct high heat sources.
Utensil is chipped or cracked.
Melamine is durable but can chip if dropped on a hard surface. Inspect the utensil for safety; if the integrity is compromised, it is recommended to replace it.
