Is the lid easy to clean, get dry? My Oxo is growing black crud in between spinning portion of lid and top of lid. Have tried every thing to clean i

don't immerse in water. wipe with damp rag and let air dry before putting it back on and storing it away.

Just like the Oxo, the lid is one piece that has many small areas to collect dirt. Dish soap and water is all I used to keep ours looking new. I would consider using a mild bleach solution.

Hi Anita, i love this salad spinner and have never had a problem with cleaning or anything of that matter. It's really been great!

Comes apart easily for cleaning. Quite frankly for the amount of time it takes to dry anything plus the cleaning you are better off using paper towels to dry your lettuce.

Mine is a couple of years old and no unusual tastes. OTOH, we wash Everything by hand. I have found it good to remove the semi-transparent o-ring on the lid every few washes to clean it all a bit more completely.

can you clarify your problem? it can be a little hard to pull the lid up and off, after you've rotated the handle to the near-vertical position, but it's just suction and will eventually go away, also lift the pour spout. it's a tight fit, lid to mixing container, that is. usually i don't need dishwasher if i clean it right away it just all washes off with water, soap, spray.

It took me a few tries to figure out how to get this pan clean. When food sticks to it, the easiest thing I've found is to wait until it cools off and then fill it with water, let it soak for a few minutes, and then scrub it clean. Usually just a few minutes in water loosens up anything that's stuck. Otherwise, a couple of times I've used a kitchen scrub brush (the cheap kind with bristles) to deal with really tough spots, and that takes care of it. I've even run this pan through the dishwasher a few times when I've cooked things that aren't stuck too bad, and it goes through the dishwasher very well!

I had the previous model for a year and it didn't rost. This model I had for about 4 months. I clean it with water and a little dish soap, let it dry and no problems.

Though this model does not have a removable lid, if there's food debris inside of it, You might try (while it's unplugged) a drop of dishwashing liquid, water, some vigorous shaking and thorough rinsing. After that, boil a full pot or two of water to make sure it's clean.

The inside of the lid is hard to clean. So, I put mine in the dishwasher. Eliminated the problem. Hubby loves the cup.

I don't have a dishwasher either, but I've never had an issue with a plastic taste on my food. Try soaking in hot water with lots of dish soap. Or Maybe contact OXO for a replacement?

I haven't had a problem with cleaning it. I rinse it right after I use it. Try letting it sit in hot water and then spin it

I've used my for years with no problem at all. I would contact Amazon directly, but there must be a place to replace the battery. No? (I'm not home to check.) if not, Amazon, I'd check with the OXO company. I hope you get this figured out, because I use mine all the time and LOVE it.

As others have said it cant be cleaned so what i do is cover the inside lid with tin foil and make sure when the top of blade punctures the foil to get it out so it does not go in food..As soon as i put foil on and put the lid on tight i pull it off right away to get the foil then back on to chop!

Not sure what BPA is, not sure I care? The easy clean lid is a nice new feature, but in my search for my purchase, this feature was generally a bit more pricey. I thought that feature was worth the extra cost, and after using mine for a several months, I am convinced I made the right choice. The old lids where real tough to clean, and sometimes developed some funky goo under the flapper seal that was hard to see and almost impossible to clean adequately.

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.

We just bought ours and washed it for first time tonight. Before packing her first lunch, we noticed the black smudges, mostly in grooves and near edges though also some on flatter portions of the pieces. After scrubbing and scraping, it mostly is coming off. It looks like something burned or remnants from manufacturing (since ours is brand new). I emailed the company for information; we'll see if they replace.

I have the same grill and the OXO cleans it very well and the grill is getting seasoned at the same time. I haven't had any issues so far.

It's not bad to clean. I just rinse it and wipe it quickly with a sponge. I only use it for protein so it kinda has a lingering smell of protein but it's better than over washing it. Don't do that because it battery powered and it might mess it up. The bottom that covers the batteries is pretty tight though so quick rinses shouldn't mess it up. I use mine everyday twice a day and it still works great after about 2-3 months.

I actually reviewed it a while ago. I returned it to the store because I didn't like it. I bought a different one and do not remember what Indidn't like about the OXO. I usually like the OXO products.
