Does anyone have any clever ideas for preventing the utensils from sliding out of the lower rings? I love it otherwise.

I place the spoons and forks handles down. This leaves the 4 knives which I strategically place handles up in the tallest portion. It's worth the effort :)

My husband cut a thin piece of clear plastic (transparency film) rolled it and placed it inside-- you don't notice the plastic and the silverware no longer slides through. Problem solved. Like you we like the look but the silverware constantly sliding through is frustrating!They should have made the spirals closer together at the bottom and could spaced the spirals further apart at the top....

One previous poster recommended using cupcake liners... which didn't work too well for me. I bought this instead: InterDesign Twillo Silverware, Flatware Caddy Organizer for Kitchen Countertop Storage, Dining Table - Metallico/Clear

U t seems like the problem is still exist. after I remove the plate for cleaning. it seems to be impossible to get it fit back in perfectly like it was. especiallt the bottom plate. I am quite disappointed with their craftmanship..

I wonder if it's a problem with your ring. I just pull the loop up through the bottom and over the hook. I've never had a problem with it.

Silverware stays in sometimes if you don't put in straight it will slip to side. It works real good. I have had mine for some time now and would buy another one if needed.

Try placing it in a cabinet. I keep mine under the sink and it stays solid.

The bottom part just slides down....it is my favorite letter opener....yours might be stuck....maybe some vegetable/olive oil around the bottom of the skull?

I think you're talking about the trays. It should slide apart. If its stuck it must be due to like a pressure change or something where it expanded. Maybe just give it a few good taps in the palm of your hand.

Mine are still attached last time I checked...but I don't really move it around much. Use it once a week when I bulk cook then it goes back in the cabinet.

It's non-stick, so it should slide out. Wait for them to be cooled so they have some body, the turn it over.

If you are talking about the adapter ring, they can be difficult. They come off counterclockwise. You can try a plastic jar opener grip and try to grip evenly around the perimeter, otherwise you will just pinch it and make it more difficult to remove. Good Luck

Hi, I have never had that problem....but if it happened I would use a coated spatula and slide it under to release...I love mine...in fact, I have two....good luck

You are putting too much pressure on the knife. Just hold it gently and drag it thru the slots. I did the same thing at first.

Yeah, we had that same issue. We tried several different approaches and currently have it 'curled' in the opposite direction and have a large rubber band holding it. Hopefully this will finally make the large lid useful.

I was going through the same thing and read suggestions here. They really helped. I ended up using a small safety pin bent up and sat on table pointing up.Pressed the tiny hole onto to it all the way and then used a mid size short screw driver to nudge that batter cover off. So glad it worked!

my dad placed a dinner plate on it and it fell off. I don't know how he did this. I've never had this problem. Maybe if you place large plates parallel to the drainage channels, it would help. I only use this for the incidental items that I don't want to put in the dishwasher.

Are you sure you have it properly locked in place at the handles? That's what keeps it from sliding.

My experience: to get it tight enough to be secure the chrome ring slips counter clockwise.Have some one hold the ring and put the name at 9 o'clock.Twist until it's dead tight. Use the small hex wrench, too.
