Using the UCO Switch Spork is easy. When you need a spoon, fork, or knife, simply transform the spork from its compact form. To get an extra - long utensil, telescope the parts together. If you're on the go, use the tether to attach it to your pack. When it's time to clean, you can just pop it in the dishwasher or clean it by hand. It's also safe to use in the microwave. Remember, this product comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to the UCO team. To keep it in top shape, avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the glass - filled nylon material. And that's it – enjoy your UCO Switch Spork for all your indoor and outdoor meals!
