hollyberry Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Has anyone else had problems with some of this coming off in the wax? I have 4 pots and it seems 2 of them are losing some finish... I am super careful not to scratch/ scrape the bottom, i use wooden paint sticks for stirring, never metal....I thought at first it was stuff in the wax but I have melted and strained in a non presto and the wax is clean then put the same batch in the presto and strained and there was the stuff again......BLARG BLARG BLARG!!!!!!!

Cal Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 It might be time to get some new pesto pots. The black flakes will just get worse. I have one that is 3 years old and its started to flake a few months back but now is so bad that I've stopped using, Dh said theres no way to fix it. Unless some one here knows how to refinish it?

hewells Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 They do make a teflon coating spray that you can use, but for as cheap as they are it would just make more sense to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyberry Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Rats...that is what I was thinking too, It would be nice to get mopre than a year or two out of them but since they are affordable I guess I cant complain( although one of the ones is only about 6 months old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 maybe you just got a defective coating job on your particular presto.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOrleansLady Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Just get a wire brush that can be attached to a drill and take the coating off. I know a few people who have done this and it's not that hard and then you never have to worry about it again. The coating is to keep food from sticking...we don't have that problem with wax.
