My husband MELTED thechef's hat right off the skewers :O He said low heat. The scallops werefine. Home office is sending are placement. My husband swears they are defective (defense mechanism?) ~ I say I have never heard of anyone having this issue. Please tell me if you know of anyone who has melted the chef hat's off the skewers???

I need piece of mind. lol.
 
I heard of someone else's skewer hats doing that...maybe on this board? I think it is a manufacturing defect. There is very little chance that HO would have missed this!
 
Did the whole hat come off? On mine whatever is coating them has sort of bubbled up. I can smooth it down. Hopefully it's not on it's way to melting off!
 
Right after they came out, I remember someone else posting that their customer was grilling out and the hat melted off. Yikes! Glad I never sold any!

Yup entire cute little chef's hat! Now I don't want to grill with them! Maybe just use for fruit skewers? *sigh*
 
Yes, you need to call HOMy director when they first came out sold like 8 sets of these and if I remember right 5 out of the 8 sets had problems with the little chef's hat melting off, so call them and send them back for replacement.

Lisa do you know if it's an overall problem, or just some?
 
This is really worrying me. I have sold a lot of these, and now worry about the product melting. I know people will be very mad and upset if this happens. I know I would. I have not tried mine out on the grill yet, as it is actually too hot to grill here. 104 in Tulsa, OK today.
