Interesting. I have never noticed anything like that. You can be sure that I will pay more attention now!

I never noticed, so I just checked mine and had one circle 1/2 inch in diameter form on the cow after taking it out of the refrigerator. I live at a mile high elevation with 5% humidity.

I've used this product about 6-8 times so far and absolutly love it. I seek out things to pressure can. As long as the little arrow on the lid lines up when I twist it closed, I have no issues at all. Sounds like something is defective and I would try to return it if you still can.

There may be a plastic smell when you first use it and that's normal, it will go away with use. If you by any chance smell burning plastic, then that might be a torn seal ring. For more trouble shooting, please call Oster direct for info, parts, and replacements.

Yes, you're absolutely right. The little "dots" are supposed to stay together as that is what holds the item away from the juice/grease. I just recently started using my grill (bought it back last Dec. online) & have cooked probably 5-7 items on it. I've had no problem with the food dropping to the bottom of the bag & when I take it out,, it appears all the little dots are still connected. I did tons of research before my purchase & IMO it sounds as though you might have some inferior bags.

I noticed some have a purple or pink coating cuz I've ordered a few. I'm pretty sure it's only on the outside of the glass. Not sure the purpose but I've been using mine for weeks now and everything is fine. Sorry I wish I had more info. Hope that helps. Happy Holidays!

Ours all have random patterns. I would contact the manufacturer So far ours seem to be deterring predators.

I haven't had any problems with it. Maybe you have a bad bottle or maybe it's not settled in correctly. If you have not already, try changing it. Hope this help.

Hello Stephen! Please contact us directly if you purchased our Original mills and not the knock-off copy of our mills (which do tend to crack at the "window"). Our Original mills rarely have an issue with the small viewing window as it is just a small less than 1/2" food-grade viewing window and not part of the inner tube that the copies offer. If what you bought is one of our mills we would like to make sure you are taken care of. Thank you and have a great day. Owner Maria, Grind Gourmet

I pretty much agree with all of the comments below. However, one of my cannisters had a chip in the red paint. It looked like they tried to put the little piece back on and then glazed over it. I had already unpacked the cannisters so I decided not to try to return them. Also the red paint is a little streaky on the body of the cannisters. Probably should have returned them, but it was too much trouble.

I got the same thing happening too. I even removed and re-cleaned glass. Still there, but only with the case that holds it. If free, theres no bend or tension on the cell. But when placed inside case with tight holders. It's seems to bend a bit and causes a dark area that glass touches base. I only see it with the cell off, but don't noticed it when it's on. Little annoying, but I believe the glass is not as thick and strong as the original, that causes a little bend.

Funny. Even though you get the bubbles out of the top right corner,,,they come back. Especially when the unit is exposed to temperature changes (like going out into the cold car).I think I'm going to try removing the film because it's starting to get anoying.By the way I found info on genuine Coby spare batteries!Check the other Discussion at the bottom of the main page for this product.

There are little dots toward the bottom one on the cover and one on the base. When the cover is closed properly the dots match up. You have to hold the bottom with one hand and hold the top with the other and twist the lid off. Try to twist both ways. I would suggest trying it a few times before putting water in it just to get used to taking it on and off. Look inside the cover so you can see how it goes on the base part. I hope this helps. Look for those black dots.

Today I went to put it in my coffee, and it looked like it has curcled, such as when regular cream goes bad. However, all it needed was to be shaken as it had separated. So be sure to always shake it up well.

I had it happen once in the many months and daily use I have had them. I scrubbed it of, ran it through the dishwasher and it never returned. It was there because I left something it it too long, so you can't blame it on the product.

This happens with ours sometimes too. I just unscrew the lid and retighten it, seems to help.

My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times. Using a mild vinegar soak for 10-15 min., seems to release the residue (it's still much easier to clean, than the stainless steel sets). My problem: When simmering/boiling with the glass covers on, fluid becomes trapped between the rubber gasket and metal rim. Over time, I'm noticing buildup and/or a bit of rusting(?) where the lid glass meets the metal, which is near impossible to clean ( I would've preferred a totally metal lid, to this design). Otherwise, I'm a fan of the ceramic coating, on the pans. My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times.
