  1. My Tramontina 2 quart sauce pan has many stains both inside and outside the pot. What can I do now to eliminate of reduce the stains?

      Hi Doris, stains on Tramontina pans are pretty common with regular use. You can soak the pan in warm soapy water, then try a gentle baking soda paste or a vinegar rinse to lift the marks. For tougher spots, use a non-abrasive cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend. Always dry well afterward — it really helps keep the shine!

      Hi, you’re right to avoid scouring pads. 😊 Try soaking with warm soapy water, or use a baking soda paste / vinegar-water simmer — both work great for removing baked-on grease without scratching the pan.

  2. I have used the saute pan once and after cleaning thoroughly there is a trace of burned oil remaining. It says to use non-abrasive cleaner–what is recommended?
    Thanks,
    Cathy

      Hi Cathy,
      It’s quite common for a little bit of burned oil to leave a trace even after washing. Since Tramontina recommends non-abrasive cleaners, you can try:

    2. Baking soda paste – Mix a little baking soda with warm water to make a paste, apply it on the spot, let it sit for 15–20 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge.
    3. White vinegar soak – For tougher residue, add a small amount of vinegar and warm water to the pan, let it soak for a while, then wash as usual.
    4. Bar Keepers Friend (non-abrasive type) – Many cookware users recommend this cleaner as it’s safe and very effective for stains.
    5. Avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbing pads, as they can damage the finish. With one of these gentle methods, the oil stain should come off without harming your pan.

      Hope this helps, and happy cooking!
