James. 4 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hi All, I didn't get to use my big joe over the winter (uk) and the sloroller was stored on the cart the whole time. it's ended up being covered in an white substance (photos attached) which I've tried to clean off without any luck. Any idea what it is and if it safe to do a cook in the morning with it? Thanks James Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I might contact KJ and see what they say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Topher 468 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 maybe some kind of mold? IIRC, I read somewhere that the Sloroller is teflon coated; maybe the powdery stuff has something to do with that coating? James. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Setzler 14,829 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It's save to cook on.. the powdercoating is gonna come off and that may be what you are seeing. James. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Thanks Chris, John, My initial reaction was mold given it developed over the winter but then I was worried about the teflon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pie 12 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Good to know that the powder coating wears off of the SloRoller. That’s happened to mine and I was wondering if that was “normal.” I think I’ll be using a drip pan from now on, especially with the low and slow cooks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtemple 43 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Aluminum oxide is a white powder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IMAVGAN 5 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Looks like mold to me, why don’t you wash it with vinegar & then heat it up dry in the cooker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Thanks for the extra comments, I have cooked with it and it all seems to be okay. no signs of the marks going away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
