Is it normal to have discoloration on inside of pots?

Any continuous use of any cookware will cause some discoloration. Just means you're using it. Can't expect it to stay the newish color forever.

Yes. With some foods they do discolor but if you add a half cup of vinegar to half a pan of water then boil for a few minutes. It come out sparkling clean. This happened to me the first time I used it. I love my pans.

Yes I have noticed this also. I used barkeepers helper to sine it back to like new.

According to the literature that came with the pots, yes. I haven't used mine enough to know, but that should give you the information you need about different kinds of discoloration.

I wouldn't know for certain - sounds like it could be oxidation. You could ask for a different pot. I use mine every week, but it had no marks brand new. It has a few pencil-point sized black dots now but it has had burned food when I did not watch it closely and had the heat too high or was cooking something too long by multi-tasking. The dots don't worry me, but if your pan came to you in that condition, I'd ask for a new one. Contact amazon. They can tell you how to send it back and get a new one. They have return labels you can print out. Whenever I have called them with a problem, they promptly call me and I have resolved every one of the few problems I have had. I hope I was helpful.

The two pots, 3 qt. Sauce and 5 qt. Stockpot, have no damage they have been great. My small pot started discoloring but still 'non-stick' and three pans, 2 qt sauce pan, 8" and 11" frying, as well as the 9.5" skillet, are damaged, no longer non-stick and discolored.

Yes there are holes in all of these pots. But these look cheap. I won't recommend u to buy these.

Not that I have noticed. They are mostly cosmetic and we're not present on mine when I opened the box. But after use, all my stainless steel baking pieces and pots have nicks / pith marks.

My problem was similar to yours - burnt pasta sauce. I soaked the inside of the pot with hot water and the new Dawn Ultra. The next morning the bottom scrubbed clean but left a dark stain. The stain was completely removed using the Dormond product. Cheers.

Just soap and water and steel wool if needed. Aluminum pots get naturally darken over time. Mine is very dark on the bottom now. Its not caked on like with a cast iron pot. It's just the metal itself gets darker, which is expected with aluminum. This is how every aluminum pot I've ever cooked with in a restaurant has looked. Its normal

I believe there are drains in the inside as the plants sit up a bit in the pot. No drain holes on the outside One odd thing is that I hear water sloshing around when I carry the potted plant. So I must water the plants too much, and the extra water drains into a reservoir, not remaining in dirt. Someday I will repot the plants and see whats going on in there.

I have not seen any discoloration. You might want to check your filters. I clean my every 3 months and change the hepa filter every 6 months because mine runs every day.

I'm surprised to hear yours stains. We've cooked everything in ours and it has absolutely no staining or apparent wear. Maybe you got a defective item?

I have also had this issue sometimes they are yellow and other times they are brown. I have noticed the yellow ones will turn brown after a while. maybe they are old? I use mine to make lipo nano vitamin C

I have not noticed any black spots on ours. What do you mean by "inside?" Did you slice it open or something?

Yes. But mine has not discolored at all inside after several months. A concern of mine as well.

Mine haven't discolored, and I've had them for a year. I have them in the bathroom that doesn't get direct sunlight. I don't know if that would cause any discoloration. Also they are glass not acrylic.

I have had six of them for a bit less than a year without any discoloration. If anyone has noticed discoloration after a longer period, I'll be curious to know.

We have been using ours daily for a little over a year. No discolouration seen inside.

No the inner lining including the bottom, is all one piece and made of aluminum. It does not bother me. I do not see how that affects the food in the inner pot. It does get dirty and stained easily which I keep clean by adding some vinegar to the water inside every now and then.
