 End of Summer Deals  

We all work hard to make ends meet and to make this world a better place. With fires raging in California and Hurricanes ravaging the Gulf, now we have to dig even deeper.

Shipping Time + Some Homework (aka. watch a video)
over 3 years ago – Wed, Aug 12, 2020 at 02:59:06 AM

Hello Backers,

GoSun is ready to ship your Flatware.  After months of hard work, now we're asking you to do a little homework before it arrives and watch the video below.  We want you to love your Flatware set, so we can kiss single use plastics goodbye. The video (below) will show you how to get the most from your new utensils.  Just by using prototypes for the past year, we are finding them incredibly helpful while: getting carry-out, picnicking, camping, backpacking, boating, beaching, roadtrips, etc. 

Shipping Soon

After a long wait, we're shipping this month (August).  Some orders will be fulfilled as early as next week, while others may take until the end of the month. If for some reason you do not receive your Flatware by Sept. 10th, please contact us at: [email protected]

Video: How To Best Use Flatware 

How to "just say no," to single use plastic

As you can see from the video about how to get the most of your Flatware, there's a lot to know with this little innovation.  For example, did you know about the locking springs? or that you can bend the utensil to your desired shape? or that a dab of oil will help with sliding Flatware in and out? 

The following script is included in the How To Video above:

Opening: Unclip each utensil from the Protective Case with a nail or fingertip in the side finger slot. Holding the sheath in one hand, slide the utensil out until it clicks in position.  You may also try sliding the utensils out with one hand by placing your thumb in the groove and pushing forward. To collapse back down, squeeze both of the springs and press the utensil into the sheath.  Clip back into the Case and you’re ready to roll.

Apply Oil: If you find your Flatware to be a bit sticky, we recommend a small dab of coconut oil or other cooking oil between the utensil and the sheath.  Sometimes the utensil needs a tiny adjustment, as it can be racked requiring straightening or pushed too far down into the sheath.

Scoop, skewer, slice, stir, or spread: Use Flatware just like a normal utensil.  Even though it packs small, it can perform all the same functions for getting your food into your face.  The possibilities are endless, skewer with the fork, slice with the serrated side of the spoon, spread, stir, scoop, and enjoy scrumptious, savory, spicy, or sweet snacks…

Improvise: Flatware works great as a flat utensil, although some people may want to add more shape to their Flatware set. If that’s you, we encourage you to gently bend the utensil head’s neck until it’s at your optimal bend angle. However, after bending keep in mind that your utensil will have a harder time sliding in the sheath, and may require two hands. Also, some people may prefer the feel of Flatware when the utensils are flipped over in the sheath, making different contact points on your hands.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Maintaining a sanitized set is easy if you use a little soap and water after every use.  Avoid using abrasive scrubbers if you want to maintain the pristine polish on the stainless steel. When loading into the dishwasher or UV sterilization chamber, We recommend completely removing the utensil from the sheath. Do this by pulling the utensil out, in the same direction for use.  Don’t forget to wash the Protective Case as well.  When reloading the utensil, be careful that the springs are located within the sheath.

Storage: Flatware can be stored even while wet, as it is made 100% from 304 stainless steel.  Also, if you are on the move, Flatware can be wiped clean and then stored dirty while keeping your belongings away from the food debris.

Share this solution: Each set comes wrapped in a paper box that doubles as an educational tool for anyone interested in Flatware.  Tear apart the six Awareness Cards to give them something to take home and learn more.

Support: Finally, GoSun is here to support you and help you maximize your Flatware.  Please let us know about your questions, concerns or improvisations at [email protected] Thank you for joining the Fuel-Free Frontier and working to eliminate single use plastic utensils.

General GoSun Update

We're absorbing the bumps and bruises, using them as opportunities to get stronger and connect better with our customers.  Our success along the Fuel-Free Frontier still depends on you; your feedback, your off-grid needs, supporting GoSun's innovations and sharing with your network.  Please stay in touch and in tune.
