I have noticed that the bottoms of my foods get burnt. Are you supposed to cook for less time when using these? Thanks

I haven't had that problem, nor has my daughter who uses them. If I were having that issue, I think I would perhaps think about lowering the oven temperature and then, if that didn't work, I'd consider altering the time. One or the other of these should address the problem...but I would find a way to keep using the mats...I LOVE the easy clean up!

I haven't had any problems with burning. I love using them to bake cookies - have had excellent results with all recipes.

Hi, I´ve been cooking with the times or periods that every recipe recommends and I´ve not get any problems. If that happens try to reduce the temperatures or time of cooking.

They become hot when left over direct heat. Since I am the principle cook I really enjoy cooking with the set. I do use pot holders because my ceramic cooktop distributes the heat and the handles do become "warm". With that said, I am often using three burners at the same time.

We used the two smaller pans over fire on a backpacking trip this last summer, you do need to be careful not to get any flames or to much heat near the rubber coated handles. The outside of the pans did discolor after using them over flames, but did not seem to cause any damage.

Usually they are charred during cooking and have juices from the food on them so it's probably not a good thing to reuse them. When I'm cooking a small piece of fish for myself only, I will cut them in half.

I heated them up to medium, rubbed on some cooking oil, and they were ready to go. The bottoms discolored on the first use. I was not pleased but, it does not affect the cooking.

The sistema company told me he products are meant to 'heat up' rather than 'cook'. It seems that food getting too hot will cause problems with the interior plastic. I've bought a lot of their products, too- I use them with caution now. QVC made them seem flawless and indestructible! I also hand wash them.

Might be some burnt on residue from your previous cookout. Make sure you wash you sheet on both sides real good after each use with warm soapy water

I use these all the time and I don't have any problems with them. It might be your burn speed is set to high.

Not sure. You would have to cook them longer. They may char on the outside before heating through.

I have had mine for a bit now too. And Haven't used them. I don't think they go bad. as long as they don't get warm your good.

I have had my pans for about 12yrs and I have never seen anything like that. How weird. I think I would replace them so the power stuff wouldn't get in my food. You have to admit they are awesome pans! Sorry I couldn't help.

I don't recall getting cooking times with mine. I usually do 2 mins then check. Not very scientific but I haven't burnt anything.

Haven't checked on times, sorry. That burner is HOT, though, would not take long. You need to be careful of aluminum pans with thin bottoms, it will warp them and if you let them boil dry it will burn through, I am told.

I have used the slow cooking mode frequently and have not experienced burnt food. In fact, I have repeated the cycle a few times or added time after one cycle without adding more liquid and have not experienced burnt food. It could be an issue of how long the timer is set for and the liquid level. Hope this helps. This cooker is easy to use and quite functional.

I find that I get my best results if I remove them almost immediately and put them in cold water, to prevent overcooking. Of course you have to be very careful as the eggs and cooker are hot! I have tried leaving them in the cooker till almost cool (not sure how long that took) but they seem to end up overcooked.

I've not experienced that. I don't put anything I'm cooking over the holes. There could be a little splatter, but that happens with any meats being fried, grilled, etc., and it's not been problematic.
