The manufacturer of a frying pan with a Super Mario theme has issued a warning about using the product. While the design of this frying pan might be enticing for some culinary-inclined Super Mario fans, they should wait to cook with it for the time being.

The Super Mario franchise is famous for its popular games starring the red-capped plumber. Over the years, Nintendo has released many mainline titles and spawned various spin-off series, with some of these ranking among the best-selling games of all time. As a result of this popularity, the franchise has produced a wide variety of merchandise for fans to purchase. While some items are somewhat predictable, others are more unusual, such as a Super Mario-themed frying pan.

As spotted by OatmealDome on Twitter, the manufacturer of a Super Mario-themed frying pan has issued a warning to customers. According to the manufacturer, the frying pan sold in Japan discolors oil when heated for cooking. Understandably, this has caused concern, and those who purchased the cooking item have been told not to use the pan until further notice.

Super Mario Frying Pan Manufacturer Warning

This news is doubtlessly disconcerting for those hoping to use the item for cooking purposes. The frying pan has an impressive appearance, looking like a mushroom from the Super Mario games. Unfortunately, the issue impacting the product is currently unknown. This could mean a recall could happen in the future, but nothing is known for sure. However, the manufacturer is expected to provide further information on the problem soon, and customers can also contact the manufacturer to ask questions concerning the product.

While this manufacturer warning is disappointing for those who purchased this Super Mario-themed frying pan, there is also some good news for fans of the franchise on Switch. Recently, Super Mario Party Jamboree was released, featuring one of the largest parties in the history of the series. In addition to new boards and minigames, Super Mario Party Jamboree includes some intriguing modes, such as Koopathalon. In this mode, up to 20 players can compete in various minigames to try and beat their opponents around a course.

Furthermore, fans can look forward to Mario and Luigi: Brothership coming in November. As the latest game in the Mario and Luigi RPG series, the game looks to provide fans with a new adventure in the world of Concordia. While the game makes use of the Switch’s hardware to provide a colorful experience, Brothership also adds a variety of unique features for players to check out.
