can you not cook spaghetti sauce or chili in these pots? part of the bottom turns pink as well as around the top of the pot.

I have cooked tomato sauce recipes in these pans and, yes, the lining turns slightly pink but if you wash with a good quality dish soap and a soft scrubby it comes right off. Hope this helps.

I don't have that problem. The pot cleans out easily with dish detergent on all the red or dark brown sauces and it is sparkly clean without a trace of color in tge pot. I am very happy with this product!

I have had spaghetti sauce in mine several times with no problem. They are just as clean and white as they were when I got them two months ago and they are used constantly.

I've made homemade pasta sauce and chili in my big pots no problems with stains.. Just a 20-30min soak in really soapy hot water

If you have the flame low enough so that the chili will not stick. But remember that the pot for frying is not as heavy as a stainless steel would be.

you could probably use another pot of the same size bottom, I have no clue how hot it gets...sorry

Mine have not done it so far. Amazing pots and pans especially for this price!

You can, but you probably won't like the result. There's a reason why these come in different sizes. They rely on fixed amounts of water and grounds. I have a friend who has two - one this size and a smaller one - trying to make a smaller batch in a bigger pot - undrinkable, like dirty socks and burnt rubber. Best bet is make a full pot and dump out what you don't drink

Because this is a clay pot, they cannot withstand immediate high heat. They will crack. The cooking temperature has to rise slowly. As an example, I would cook my beans by putting the pot in a cold oven with the food in it and let the pot get warmed as the oven warms to the temperature it's going to cook at. As for cooktops, I would think you could but you would need to use a good sturdy heat diffuser and start your heat low until the pot is warmed and then increase your heat to cook your food.

I'm sorry. That's never happened with ours. I wonder if the temperature you cook with has something to do with it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck in finding the answer.

Maybe so since it seems these items were not tested properly or the fact that the copper looking knobs on the lids get hot and you must use a pot holder to pick them up. If you want to keep the heat turned up under the pan, but let off steam the lids will not allow you to move them to one side. They keep sliding back in place, and the black handles start peeling over time. I am not thrilled with these pans, but they will do in a pinch.

If the bottom of the pot is flat, then normal pot with full amount of water isn't a problem to its surface. Just ensure you don't put a single tiny point onto the top particularly the center.

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

I have stainless steel pots and have used the steamer twice. No problems at all!! This should not happen when these silicone items can take hundreds of degrees of heat. I am very puzzled about this one!

I would not purchase this pot, after one use the inside bottom pitted and it never made it to the dishwasher, I had to return it for a refund because they already replaced the first one because of pitting. Hope this help.

No. Not sure how that could be when the food is cooked in the ceramic liner pot. There's no metal touching the food and the top is glass.

not sure what you mean. but im not real happy with these pots . they are thin and food burns easy. go out and get a good heavy pot

I am not sure. I suppose you could but I don't think you could get enough water in the bottom. You might end up boiling the ones on the bottom. Does that make sence?

Not that I know of........The depth of the pot is not deep enough for the canister, so you would need to do some kind of connection outside of the pot which would look terrible unless you could mount it on a column and hide the canister below the pot somehow. Sorry, I could not be of more help. Love the fire bowls, but would love for them to burn longer. If you figure something out, let me know.

I washed one of mine and it discolored the outside of the pot so I no longer put them in the dishwasher, not to say it isn't my dishwasher.
