Failure Threat Matrix[5]
| Failure Mode | Likelihood | Est. Onset | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal Warping | High | Random | Avoid rapid temperature changes; do not use above 400°F. |
| Coating Delamination | Medium | Random | Use only silicone/wood utensils; hand wash only. |
| Rusting | High (if dishwashered) | Random | Hand wash and dry immediately. Water gets trapped in rolled edges. |
