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!
I have baked on grease on my colored tramontina frying pans . Afraid to use scouring pads
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.
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:
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!
