why did my lettuce still turn brown?

My wife always makes sure the lettuce is paper towel dry before putting into the container. This seems to work really well for her. SOmetimes lettuce from the grocery store is older than we think.

I have only used it for celery and it is amazing! Check the individual instructions for different vegetables.

You probably cut it with a metal knife? The metal turns lettuce brown very quickly. You need a plastic lettuce knife. It can still brown a bit, in time, but nothing like as soon if cut with a metal knife.

I'm not sure unless it had too much moisture to start with or the vent wasn't opened up far enough. I haven't had that problem.

I use the recommended amount of liquid I de-core the lettuce, rinse it, and shake it dry. It basically stays fresh and green for several weeks. Never cut it with a metal knife. The edges of the coarser pieces may show some brown after a week or so. Break off the brown pieces. The rest of the leaf is still good.

Hi, I have only baked pumpkin pie in mine, The edges got brown so I would think the top should get browned as well.

I was able to get the greens to show ok but the blues and reds didn't seem to show very much. I didn't use the heat treatment, that might have helped.

I would try elevating the turkey or it won't get brown. I have used bunched up foil in the bottom of the pan. Then follow instructions on the turkey packaging. Good luck.

Have you tried to shake it? I heard the brown is from the fragrance segment. Please shake and see if it makes any difference. :)

It is normal for it to get dark stains. When I made bread, I let it rise in the pot, then put it into a cold oven. Worked great. I think if you add something to a hot pot, you risk it cracking from the temp. difference.

Mine didn't. But my grass grew in a puff of fluffy mold so I stuck the whole thing outside. The grass grew well (along with the mold) and then turned brown just like every other cat grass I've used. I bought a bag of seeds and I"m going to just start planting them myself in organic potting soil and rotate one pot on, one off, so that by the time one dies, the next one will be ready. I'm keeping the planter from the kitty garden and will just use my own seeds and soil in the future.

I have noticed browning at the bottom of mine, as well, although I have had it for several months now and use it regularly. I first noticed it after food I was making still smelled like the broccoli and I wasn't making broccoli. I checked the reservoir and noticed burnt-looking brownish residue. I tried to clean it using a bottle brush with the sponge-tip; it helped but did not get it all off. I have watched very carefully and have not noticed any impact on the food (no discoloration, flakes, or change in taste). I am VERY PLEASED with the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker!!

I was making peanut butter in mine and it ceased up I put it in reverse and foward several times I learned when it comes to dense or frozen fruits and vegetables smaller amounts are better Not being there I can't say much but take it apart. See if it works if it does good to go... good luck

It appears to have killed a good portion of my fescue grass. Half of my yard is now brown, I'm hoping the grass will come back with the rains here in California during the winter. How did it work on your lawn?

Don't know why it is brown, but yes it is normal. Just trust it. This has been my easiest summer yet taking care of my pool. This product is amazing.

I have done this several times now and endorse the other answer here: butter helps to brown the exterior, it hasnt burned on me yet, and I am still in awe of how easy this thing is to clean up. Enjoy!

Hate to say it, but I'm having the same experience. I'm definitely following the instructions correctly (correct measure, filling to the right line, fluffing, etc.), but my brown rice (all we use) is coming out mushy every time. I've tried a few varieties with the same results.Anyone have any ideas?

I don't know what the problems were, but I have had this product a year now and I am still extremely happy with this product. Just the fact that you can brown in it and then turn it over to slow cook, Fabulous!

No not at all and it doesn't stay powdery on the fruit either. This product is a life saver... I cut apples for my kids lunches, sprinkle a bit on and they don't turn brown at all.

I'm sorry, but don't know. It turned my Bermuda grass brown. I won't use it again.

Hi, I don't use the packaged salad, because I don't care for the odor or smell. Fresh iceburg lettuce is my favorite and it will last for a week and a half if not cut. I just ate fresh strawberries that I bought from Costco three weeks ago and they were still presentable at a dinner. Another long-laster is asparagus-over three weeks. Good luck.
