The rims of the lid and oven are flaking black flecks of material. Does this cease to exist or a defect? I have not used the oven as of yet. Just got it today and washed it. Only noticed it when taking the lid off and on to test fit.

Mine never did that or I didn't notice it and my husband would say I notice everything. Mine came with little rubber things around the lid. I keep them on it when I store it. Used it yesterday to make a chicken noodle with vegetable soup. Used it Sunday to do the Pioneer woman chuck roast that is Devine. Started on stove top and finished in the oven.

Ive only had mine for a few weeks, but i left mine in the oven on accident for 20+ minutes at 350 and it didnt hurt it. I put mineral spirits on mine (stuff i had for my rolling pin) after the oven abuse. My label didnt have any maintenance instructions so i cant say for sure. Ive whacked mine with a big cleaver and it leaves some marks, less if you cut across the grains of the wood. Im pretty tuff on stuff! If mine gets too beat up, id buy another. Definitely happy with this purchase.

Hi Margaret: I have not experienced or at least, noticed what you are seeing. It sounds as if you are getting some stone-on-stone abrasion with the granite. My set is currently at home in New Zealand and I am at my other home in France where I have a high-fired ceramic set, however, as soon as I return to New Zealand I will check mine and get back to you. I rinse mine under warm water, dry it and then rub a little olive oil into it rather than putting it into the dishwasher. Also, I use mine mostly for things like ginger, garlic and spices, adding a little olive oil for lubrication.

I would love to know as well. Have looked everywhere! It would appear there is a problem with the silicon rim.

I think the flakes were mentioned for the model below this one since it was chrome plated. these are stainless steel beaters so they should not be peeling.

My Universal lid with glass section is almost a year old. I have used it several times but it does not have any spots at all anywhere. It looks just as the day when I received. I have no idea why yours has the black spots you mentioned.

The answer from WineCountryLover is correct. I have had this oven for a few months and I would not buy it again. In addition to the flaw mentioned in my previous review, I noticed the glass oven door does not close tightly so heat must be escaping.

Robert, are you talking about the area that is silver (the sharpened area)? Because I looked at mine closely just now and what I didn't notice when I first got it was that on mine the silver part seems to have a clear coating on it. I'm not sure of what, but it seems like tiny bubbles or debris in the clear coating. The black metal part of mine has one or two tiny pits but thats about it. Maybe contact the seller and swap it out?

No, mine looks great, almost like new even after a lot of use. I have quite of few stainless steel pots and pan and nothing like what you are describing has ever happened. In my never to be humble opinion it is not common.

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.

Same here: both two years old and both curling up at the edges and seems to be coming apart at the edge- tripping is now a constant issue. Not near the oven.

I would guess it is an electronic problem. I would ask for a new one if relatively new, or it could be just a buildup of particles from cooking, etc.. Contact Kidde.

I didn't have a problem with it. Did anything spill or bubble over? Was it on a rack not the bottom of oven.

Mine is also flaking and hasn't been used but has been out of box for a couple of weeks. And it also has a crack in it already.Hopefully it won't get worse.

I have the same oven, and the plastic dome cracked, too. This is inevitable over time. I will purchase a replacement oven with a glass bowl instead very soon. I recommend you consider buying a different brand, too.

I haven't had that issue. As others have posted, I would make a point to grease the rim well or soak it prior to cleaning.

I've seen that occur, but by the time it starts the bake cycle, there's no indication of leftover bits in the corners. It doesn't happen all the time with mine, either.
