I have noticed that the crisp vacuum initially produced fades over time, both while cooking and while in the fridge. Am i doing something wrong?

I read the 2 previous answers. They are both valid and will make a proper seal. I would recommend you follow their advice. There is nothing more I can add as these would be my answers also.

It really is all about getting a air free seal. As long as I have that I have no problems. I've been using them for years. Also, don't use the bags that are made for another brand. Have never had any luck trying to go cheaper.

Looks like everyone has answered. If all still fails, you might contact the Bag company, might be a bad batch of bags?

Sounds like, for whatever reason, you're not getting a complete seal. If you're sealing liquids, the liquid can get in between the 2 sides you're attempting to seal. Once you seal, you can go back, slightly moving your bag a bit closer, and seal again. If I must seal liquids, I'll freeze them first. Then, remove from the original bag I froze them in, put them in a fresh bag, and seal before it starts to defrost. I hope this helps.

The only time mine have looked hazy after using Bona was when there was already something on the floor that hadn't been removed well prior, such as tracking from snow/salt, etc., or the pad on my mop needed changed. Changing the pad and re-cleaning usually resolves the issue.

I have cooked in mine several times and I have dark stains. I think it may be normal

I had the same issue. It doesn't really concern me, but I did discover that when washing them in the dishwasher if I use the hot presoak option the interiors come out spotless! I hope this helps.

Have used mine for years with no problem. It takes up to 1 minute per slice. Did you set it for too much time? I like it so much that I am on my second one after chipping the side of my first. Full control of crispness is possible by checking as it nears the end of cooking.

Hello Jim, Mine came with a scrappy photocopy, part of the text abbreviated. I have scanned it the best I can. This is it: whirlpool23072014.pdf I use my crisper pan on Crisp Function in my convection microwave (which uses microwave and grill, auto set). These recipes from the Whirlpool Australian site are for this. (MWO Crisp- left menu). http://www.whirlpool.com.au/support/recipes May not work very well if your using a standard microwave with the crisper pan. Best wishes. William. e: william@bennett-smith.com

I have used my grill at least once a week or more for the past few years and have not noticed any visible degradation of the Teflon surface. Remember, this is a low cost small grill without the features of larger more expensive units but I think that it gives the most bang for the buck for those who are preparing small meals. Why get a large unit if all you are going to do is grill one chicken breast or one burger, etc.? Cleaning really is simple so long as you clean the unit right away before the grease hardens and bakes on. Simply rub downward along the ridges with a wadded paper towel and then with a damp to wet paper towel and the unit is clean and ready for its next use.

Thats not good! We bought it and have used it a lot - and no problems. If you got it from Amazon, have you contacted them first to see it you go through them or Weber? Have you cleaned it off with a brush? Maybe its clogged.

I had "flakes" that were more brown than black when I recently bought a new house - - - - Used the Leisure Time - twice... ---- no more flakes or funk? I would think it is worth a try (unless the flakes are mold coming from the air induction tubing?) - - - -

No, I haven't experienced that problem, but I don't use the pans all that often. I like them very much when I do; this particular one is great for meatloaf. Maybe try scrubbing the pans with a paste made of table salt and a little water...it's great on no-stick pans!

It wont be green right away as I recall, give it a while & make sure you always keep it in the fridge. The moisture that collects inside when you take it out for a while is why I had to replace mine after years of use.

Sorry, I haven't had this problem. Could it be something on the bottom of the pot or the hotplate that is causing it to stick rather than a vacuum?

I've made mine a couple of hours before and they were crisp, not sure about more than that though! Hope that helps!

I have not experienced that but my guess would be too high cooking temperature and/or overcooking.

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'm sorry. That's never happened with ours. I wonder if the temperature you cook with has something to do with it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck in finding the answer.

There is a date on the bottles I have that gives a "Best Used By" date. AS they age they seem to discolor and become darker with darker substance flecks rather than pale green with dark green flecks. I have not noticed any change in effectiveness. I think it is exposure to air that causes the discoloration but I do not know that.
