Have you experienced pitting on your ice cream dipper?

I just got the ice cream dipper, after putting it off as an unnecessary addition to my kitchen (my kids felt otherwise). I'm not sure what happened in the cleaning process (DH is my dishwasher), but the surface of it is pitted, like the finish is coming off. Has anyone else seen this effect? I don't feel I should return it if it's a use and care issue.

Mine has done the same thing .....

They are made of alluminum, and if you let it sit in water, those little white bumps will form. Just scrub them off, and it should be fine.

BTW, when I use mine, I always just wash if off right away in hot water, dry, and put back in my TTA. That way, it still stays pretty and bright and shiney!

I do the same thing...I'm already on scoop #3 thanks to helpful hosts putting them in the dish washer....

I have two dippers, one is from "Pre-PC" days and I put it in the dishwasher, not knowing that I was not supposed to do that. It is an ugly dark grey, but still works. Then, I have the one that came in my PC kit, and it is pretty and shiney because I have taken such good care of it! I couldn't take my old ugly one to shows, no one would buy it!
