The spoons came bound by a ring. Wanted to take them out to use freely, but found it impossible as ring was so rigid. Any hint?

you could try and balance the ring on the edge of something firm (counter) and apply downward pressure near the split in the ring. This should bend it so you can remove the spoons.If you had a couple pair of pliers that would also work by bending in opposite directions to open the ring.Hope that works for you.

This was an issue for me as well. You have to twist then pull apart. It is quite hard at times.

Press the button on either side of the handle and pull the handle out. if need be, use the handle side of a wooden spoon to push the core out. It is frustrating - I exerienced smae thing, minus the cut the first few times I used mine. Best wishes to you!

The lids are not slotted for spoons. You'll probably have to check with the manufacturer for replacement parts.

I used a knife. I think it would have been difficult, if possible, to use your fingers.

if you have the little spoons to pop them out...if not they are too firm to squeeze to get them out.... there are better options.

Hi Carol. At the bottom is a small indentation where you put a coin or screwdriver and gently but firmly pry the top and bottom apart. Hope this helps.

I have had the same problem. I use a large soup spoon and I don't squeeze the handle at first. I gently close the lid and let the batter spread out on its own, then I squeeze and lock the handle. It still overflows a little, but it makes a more even cookie.

No, you cannot (conveniently). I bent the handles using pliers so that you can leave the spoons inside when closing the lid.

Same thing happened to me. They had this plastic holder stapled on the back part of the drawer and it was loose when I got it. So hopefully you didn't throw it away. I had to screw it on myself. I sent a complaint, but never got a reply.

My husband cut a thin piece of clear plastic (transparency film) rolled it and placed it inside-- you don't notice the plastic and the silverware no longer slides through. Problem solved. Like you we like the look but the silverware constantly sliding through is frustrating!They should have made the spirals closer together at the bottom and could spaced the spirals further apart at the top....

It topples over because of it's length I think, but the length is also one of the things I really liked about these spoons. I had the same problem and either chose to use a bigger bowl or didn't rest the spoon in the bowl.

I took mine out with a spoon... it was to way to hard... but it work with the top part of the spoon. Try it! Good luck!

A bit late with my response, but just saw this question....went to spam for some reason......I didn't think it was that hard....just make sure to have the cap on, don't overfill and use a spoon to scoop it in.

I have never had that happen. I push room temperature butter into the dish with the back of a spoon, fill the water just up to the fill mark (about 3/4 inch I guess) and it lifts out without a suction. Is the piece that holds the butter really tight in the bottom piece? If so, perhaps yours is defective because there should be a little room so it slips out easily. I don't remember if they protected it with something but if there is any plastic on either piece it should be removed. Good luck.

Twist the center and it opens up into two pieces. Place the pepper pearls in there and re attach the top. The harder part is replacing the salt. It's very hard to open and you have to twist the clear top but there is nothin to grip. I ended up buying another one. This was too much trouble.

I had the same issue, but I don't remember how I eventually got them out. See if there is something that needs to be pushed up on the bottom or if the drawer needs to be raised up to be taken out. There was a trick to it--I remember that.
