Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not continue using a basket with heavily flaking coating, as flakes can contaminate food.

  • Stop abrasive cleaning: Use only soft sponges and non-abrasive cleaners on nonstick surfaces.
  • Avoid metal tools: Use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils in the basket.
  • Replace basket/tray: If coating is significantly peeling, replace the basket and/or crisper tray with Oster-compatible replacements.
  • Follow care instructions: Check the manual for dishwasher safety; many baskets are hand-wash only.
