Did you put them in the dishwasher? I put an aluminum pan in the dishwasher and it did that and I threw it away. Call the manufacturer.

We have had our Doughmakers cookie sheets for about three years with plenty of use and they still look like new. I found out you can't use spraysuch as Pam and if you have to use a grease, crisco is best. When they do get a bit brown after a lot of use I just clean them with Ajax powdered cleanser and they look like new.

I have NEVER had to use any spray or grease on my dough maker pans. Nothing EVER sticks.

I have had my pans for about 12yrs and I have never seen anything like that. How weird. I think I would replace them so the power stuff wouldn't get in my food. You have to admit they are awesome pans! Sorry I couldn't help.

I have the polished, but wonder if the texture has more to do with the recipe than the finish. Case in point - this past Christmas I followed a pizzelle recipe but forgot to add the baking powder. They turned out thin, crisp and delicious. Next time I added the baking powder, and the pizzelles were thicker and soft. I, too, prefer thin and crisp and will intentionally omit the baking powder next time. Just my experience, hope it's helpful.

I've not had problems with black streaks on the Marcato. Not like I did with the cheaper Sculpey machine. When they are new, most of these pasta machines have an excess grease that tends to stick around the rollers. What I did with the Marcato was take a baby wipe and with moving rollers, gently wipe all over especially around where the rollers insert. Then I wiped with a bit of water in a paper towel,, then used a old cloth to gently dry the rollers while they're turning. This may work and if not, do the cleaning again. If that still doesn't work - you may want to contact seller.

Same thing happened to me. Which is why I stopped using them. I don't think they really cook up. I certainly would not risk baking with them.

No. There is a very slight gentle scent from the vegetable products used for coloring. This dough does not last very long out of the container. If you put it back in the container each time, it'll last about two to three weeks.

I have had mine for 2 years and the writing has rubbed off, but not in enough places that I can't tell what they are. You could always go back over it with a sharpie. Mine are always hand washed, so I have never had any melting issues. I love these measuring spoons though and actually just purchased a set for my mom.

I don't make it a practice to put any of my cookie sheets in the dishwasher. I feel with the harsh chemicals used in the dishwashing cleaners,you run a risk they will get surface damage.

My wife will not wash pans by hand. She told me staight up when I bought them that they were going into the dishwasher. After about a year of use and dishwasher washing they are still doing fine. My children also use them a lot and careless use of metal utensils has led to some light scratches in the most frequently used pans, but they still don't stick, and I haven't noticed much difference in performance due to the dishwasher. Still - one would expect longer life if you was them by hand. There is some change in color in the stainless base but it doesn't effect cooking performance.

I'm sorry I have not noticed; however, it has been my experience that most products like this are used long before their shelf life expires. You might try going to the eminence website for a more definite answer.

I never experienced a powdery black substance rubbing off from the underside when drying the skillet. I love this product. I bought it for work (I'm a food/product demonstrator) and I use the skillet at home too. As a matter of fact I'm using the skillet Thursday for a demo.

Shirley, sorry to hear about your donuts not coming out of your pans. I haven't used the pans yet, but sounds like the the nonstick surface isn't working.

I've owned this set for nearly 3 years now and the performance has been excellent. But in the past month or so I've noticed a gray cloud like "smear" in the upper right hand corner. As I run my hand across the top of the set, that corner that has the "cloud' feels warmer. Any one else seeing this? Any solutions?

I had it happen once in the many months and daily use I have had them. I scrubbed it of, ran it through the dishwasher and it never returned. It was there because I left something it it too long, so you can't blame it on the product.

my family has made pizzelles fr 3 generation. We love our pizzelles but you seem to be making commercial size orders and the fact you have burned out several "I would call this a human malfunction" and just as you said you have burned out several. Iam surprized your cording did not over heat and have a flash electrical fire. Just my family's opinion. We do have 2 electricians and 2 electrical engineers and they said check w manufacture for this issue. We bakers have several different models and have no problems.

I have had no contact with any black residue. I have seen nothing of that sort on these shot glasses. I also made cookie shot glasses with these and used them in an oven with no issues. Washing them in the sink has caused no issues either.

I bought mine to replace a cloth I'd had for years. I just scraped it with a flat blade, added a bit more flour, and scraped it again. Then I store it covered with paper towels, wrapped around the rolling pin and stored in a clean plastic bag. But if you're rolling out spicy dough, you might want to wash it with warm water and gentle cycle. Btw, I also bought the non-slip product to place the pastry cloth on...and roll it along with the whole thing. I love the non-slip thing as the cloth stays put!
