Has anybody besides me had trouble with the exterior shedding blackness all over the dishcloth or a sponge when cleaning it.?

George, I've experienced no problems. I wash it with dish soap and water, dry it thoroughly, and then put a thin coat of vegie oil on it.

It might be a little of the factory seasoning flaking off in areas where the vegetable oil seasoning was a little too thick. It's not a problem. You can scrub it off if you want, and then put your own seasoning on it. I don't bother, since it's harmless.

I haven't had that issue, but with other things vinegar usually does the trick pretty well. After you wash it, swish some vinegar around it and then rinse. Hope that helps.

I just wrote a review about the stains. On mine which is black there are white stains all over the drain board and the dish drainer.

Mine was fine when I received it and didn't have a problem with it after I washed the cover. I'd try to readjust the foam and straighten out the hood. If that doesn't help maybe you should return it.

I have 4 of these and only one has that problem. I have cleaned it and that helped for a short while and then right back to the same problem. Sorry I can not help you any more.Sandi

It hasn't happened to me yet, however I never clean the thing with anything more than a paper towel. The Teflon does a pretty great job.

The only issue I had was with the top part connected to the motor. It can't really be washed, just wiped. I've only used it twice and food has gotten stick both times in two little areas - one near the side where there's a screw/hole and the part that connects to the blades. I've tried q-tips, paper towels, etc. but I can't get the stuff out! I hope it doesn't mold...

I used Dawn dish detergent straight up. Let it sit on the spot for awhile then used a plastic mesh scrubber and a little force. Worked like a charm.

I haven't had a problem. Had mine since July 2013. It may have to do with the cleaners people use on it. I use an all natural cleaner.

Actually, I don'tworry about it. Clean the inside with a scotch bright type sponge. The black outside of the cup is inevitable, but actually helps conduct heat. All my cookwear has blackend exteriors.

I have had the same cloudiness issue. I found by using a damp paper towel, after it has been in the dishwasher, it becomes clear again. I thought is was the fault of my dishwasher or the soap I was using.

I had the same issue. It doesn't really concern me, but I did discover that when washing them in the dishwasher if I use the hot presoak option the interiors come out spotless! I hope this helps.

I have not had that problem. I love my set. It works great for me. I rarely put them in the dishwasher, however.

Use a Teflon safe sponge like scrubeez, and Dawn dish detergent. Soak for a while and then scrub.

Yeup. Mine too. Now it's pitted gray. And I don't remember seeing a dishwasher warning anywhere in the add....

I didn't realize you have black. Ours is white and we sometimes get drip marks from either food (we might put our colander in the rack when the counter is crowded or fresh vegetable after we have rinsed them) or from soap residue when I get to quick in the rinsing process.

Had the same issue. I could live with that but not the interior cleaning issue. Food results great but after about four or five meals interior was impossible to clean. Started to set off my smoke alarms. Decided to return it.
