Frequently Asked Questions

I have a customer who is complaining that they can't clean the stoneware. What should I tell them?

Advise your customer to soak the stoneware in warm water for a few minutes to loosen any stuck-on food. They can then use a plastic scraper or a non-abrasive sponge to gently scrub the surface. Remind them not to use soap, as it can absorb into the stoneware and affect the flavor of future dishes.

My customer says their non-stick cookware is scratching. How can I help?

Inform your customer that using metal utensils can scratch non-stick surfaces. Recommend switching to silicone, wood, or plastic utensils to preserve the coating. If they already have scratches, reassure them that as long as the non-stick surface is intact, the cookware is still safe to use.

What should I say to a customer who is unhappy with their food chopper's performance?

Encourage your customer to check if they are using the food chopper correctly. They should ensure that the ingredients are cut into smaller pieces before chopping and that they are not overfilling the container. If the issue persists, offer to replace the product or provide tips for better usage.

A customer is complaining that their mixing bowls are staining. What can I do?

Let your customer know that some foods, especially those with strong pigments like tomatoes or beets, can stain plastic bowls. Recommend that they wash the bowls immediately after use and consider using a baking soda paste to remove stains. If the staining is severe, it may be time for a replacement.

How can I assist a customer who says their baking pan is warping?

Advise your customer to avoid extreme temperature changes, such as placing a hot pan directly into cold water. They should also ensure that the pan is not overcrowded in the oven, which can cause uneven heating. If the warping is significant, discuss the possibility of a warranty replacement.
