My tongs are warped. But they have a 1 yr guarantee so I'll just have to buy a new pair. I left them at a host's house and I think they went through their dishwasher.My Salad Spinner---well, my bowl was cracked, but I could still function with that cuz it was just a little vertical crack at the top of the bowl. Then last night the locking mechanism on the handle broke. I couldn't get it unlocked to spin my salad! I got it open somehow and discovered that the little piece that holds in in place had cracked off. So that's all. :)
 
Deb - the same thing happened to mine! The locking mechanism cracking, that is. I just found it yesterday. So my handle won't lock in place anymore. Have to send it in after the holiday. :(
