I just received my first shipment. Many of the kernels have a dark spot on the cut end, at the germ I suppose. Is that normal?

Withoutseeing the dark spots, I would not be able to identify their cause. You might try to find it on Google, or take the corn to your local extention agent for examination...

I was concerned about that question too. My shipment arrived yesterday and it's just the yeast.

I'm seeing the same thing so it appears to be normal behavior. Here's that area from my knife, 2 months after moderate use: http://i.imgur.com/6YeplWF.jpg It looks worse than it is; if you run a point across the "gouge" it really isn't that deep.

I just placed an order for the front top heater (ABA80-17500U), through encompass parts. Says it's not in stock and will ship first week in November. We'll see what happens! My bulb is actually broken. Not even sure how this happened but my waffles are not browning. They're warm and edible but don't have that brown crust that I like to see. And honestly I have no idea why I need to see that! Wish me luck. I'll let you know what happens!

I am growing it here in Central Florida. I had overwatered it so it had developed oedema, aka edema. It also developed cercospora leaf spot, (which my swiss chard also developed) a round, purplish spot with tan center. So I cut it way back and spray with Greencure, an organic fungicide and the new growth looks great. I've also sprayed it with Azamax for any pests. So far, so good. It grows quickly so I am looking forward to some healthy summer eating.

Allison, contact Joel immediately. Use only distilled water, not spring water, not tap water and water it in a saucer. Fill it up about 1/3 of the way. That being said, did you check your email? Joel sent a detailed email before our plant arrived. I contacted him a few times and he was extremely helpful and fast to respond. Here's his email address: JoelsCarnivorousPlants - Amazon Marketplace lk5mjrd052j6cyv@marketplace.amazon.com I cut and pasted his directions in the initial email below: I will be shipping your order to you Saturday. Look for it to arrive in your mail beginning this Monday. If you have cold weather forecast for the next few days please be careful to take your order indoors soon after it arrives and not to leave it in a mailbox outside overnight if you receive your mail in a receptacle that is outside so that your plant will not be damaged/killed by frost. If your plants are damaged by frost anyways in spite of my best efforts at timing the shipping for your order please let me know asap. If it is below freezing where you are at your order may come with a heat pack. The heat pack is a white bag with red line on it. This heat pack is not part of the potting soil. Please be careful to NOT mix it in with your moss that your plant arrives with. If you are purchasing this as a gift it will be important to pot it up right after it arrives rather than leaving it in the box it came in for a while. If you purchased more than one plant they may be wrapped together. If you have any problems with your plant(s) or its shipping please feel free to contact me. I'm here to help. If you like what you see when your order arrives you can see more Carnivorous Plants that I have for sale here.--&gt;

I bought this product in January and am using for about one month. He had dark spots on the metal plate, is this normal? Sometimes resembles rust.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGYW0CNsbS0

I'm not sure but I think they may be smaller under-developed millet seeds that escaped the hulling process because of their smaller size. They usually cook up just fine for me and I don't notice them too much. If your bag has a lot of them in proportion to the yellow hulled seeds then I would consider that a quality control issue and notify the supplier.

No definitely not! My jars have never looked like that. It will get thick from being in the refrigerator and it will seem gritty when thick but stirring resolves that! But no dark clumps of any kind! Hope that helps!

Mine was not. Maybe the honey crystalized a bit? If the grittiness looks like honey particles then I would suspect that. If it looks like a darker grit, then I would think you got a bad tube.

Mine had no defects. I would call the manufacturer to find out if it is cosmetic as I wouldn't want anything going into my family's food.

I just unplug it and clean it out with a diluted bleach solution. I've not had any issues with mildew, but there is yellowing that usually occurs on the last wipe or two - almost like it has been cooked. The inside of the bottom of the container has a slight stain from it. But this should not deter you from purchasing. It is an excellent product if used as directed.

Yes, and it is fine. We have also taken it from the store bag, put in a glass jar, sprinkle a LITTLE water (do NOT wet the kernels) over, shake and store in the fridge - always seemed to help, just don't get it WET, just a quick sprinkling!

It sounds like yours has a manufacturing defect. My spatula has a nicely smoothed edge on the bottom and all the edges. Perhaps you need to get a different one shipped to you. When made properly, it is a wonderful tool.

I think because it is poping to long. Try to get unit hot first then put in mix and watch it. you may get alot if kernels left over.

Mine is exactly the same. That may be by design to let some of the steam out so the corn remains crisp vs. soggy.

No there shouldn't be black spots. 2 things could be the issue. 1. Manufacturer defect in the chem process or 2. They are imposters that were made by a far less superioir Chinese company. I hope for you it's not number 2. I would try to exchange them.
