the nonstick coating on my basket is peeling and flaking off after a few months, is that safe?

— asked by Riley

Quick answer: That's damaged non-stick coating. It's not safe to cook with if it's flaking into your food, and it's often caused by using metal utensils, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh dishwasher detergents.

Diagnosis

That's damaged non-stick coating. It's not safe to cook with if it's flaking into your food, and it's often caused by using metal utensils, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh dishwasher detergents.

How to Fix It

Stop using it immediately. Contact Cosori customer support directly with clear photos of the damage. This is a known issue with some batches, and they are typically very responsive, often sending a replacement basket under warranty.

If That Didn't Work

If they don't provide a replacement, you can purchase an official Cosori-branded replacement basket online. Do not use a generic one, as the fit and safety may be compromised.

Heads Up

To preserve the new coating, hand-wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Never use steel wool or put it in a dishwasher, even if it says it's dishwasher-safe—the harsh chemicals and heat accelerate wear.
