4. Operating Instructions

The FOLIAGE TN719 turner is designed for ease of use in various cooking applications.

• Flipping and Turning: Use the thin, angled edge of the stainless steel blade to easily slide under food items such as pancakes, eggs, burgers, or fish.
• Scraping: The sturdy blade can also be used for light scraping on flat cooking surfaces, such as griddles, to remove food residue.
• Serving: The broad surface of the blade makes it suitable for serving portions of food.

Safety Precautions:

• Always use caution when handling hot cooking surfaces and food.
• While the wooden handle is designed to stay cool, prolonged exposure to direct heat may cause it to warm up. Use oven mitts if necessary.
• Do not leave the turner resting on hot cooking surfaces for extended periods.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your FOLIAGE TN719 turner.

• Cleaning: Hand wash the turner with warm, soapy water immediately after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel or damage the wood.
• Drying: Dry the turner thoroughly with a soft cloth, paying special attention to the wooden handle. Do not soak the wooden handle, as this can lead to cracking or warping.
• Wood Handle Care: Periodically, you may apply a food-grade mineral oil to the wooden handle to prevent it from drying out and to maintain its luster.
• Storage: Store the turner in a dry place, away from excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Dishwasher Use: It is recommended to hand wash this product. Dishwashers can be harsh on wooden handles and may cause damage over time.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your FOLIAGE TN719 turner, consider the following:

• Wooden Handle Appears Dry or Faded: This is normal with natural wood. Apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil and rub it in with a soft cloth. Allow it to soak in, then wipe off any excess.
• Stainless Steel Shows Water Spots: Ensure the turner is thoroughly dried immediately after washing. For existing spots, a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Blade Feels Loose: Check the rivets connecting the blade to the handle. If they appear loose or damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
