Does anyone still have problems with grease/black marks streaking onto their pasta?

I know there is grease around the part that inserts into the mixer. It looks like it's there for the mechanical/moving gears. I just got a paper towel and wiped it. But, I haven't seen the grease marks you're seeing. That's the tough part, we can't use water to clean. Maybe just use paper towels to wipe the rollers. Good Luck.

I've owned several pasta machines, in addition to this one. I always expect to waste a batch of pasta dough by running it through the machine until the gunk is gone. After that, no problems.

I have not experienced any problem with the pasta maker. It has performed great. Glad I bought it.

It scratched mine. I have swirl marks all over the bottom, but I still love the blender.

Yes, a couple of my sauce pans have those spots too. I am wondering if the barkeepers maid may have something to do with it.

I haven't had that problem. Do you use spray on oil? That can cause it. If I get any spots like this, I dampin the pan and sprinkle baking soda on it. Let sit and then scour off with a non abrasive pad. Actually I put a piece of aluminum foil under the rack if I am going to cook meat..I am a rather lazy cook..good luck

I believe a batch of these machines went out that way, yes. However my dad has this machine as do I and no grease issues thus far.

I've not had any issues with that. The challenge I've had is just finding the correct amount of flour to prevent sticking, and I think that will improve over time as it gets seasoned.

I usually soak mine, over night with dish soap, but I have notice that has time and use wear and tear, its getting more dificult to clean, even after spraying non-stick spray before cooking.

No - mine has been fine the entire time. My only complaint is the fungal build-up... have to use vinegar every few weeks to clean it out.

It depends on what you are cooking, but typically not. Pastas and starches cleanup easily. I had a problem with black beans but I had the heat up too high (started to burn). Recommend not cooking eggs in stainless, but besides that have been impressed with quality and clean-up.

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

The only stained bowl I had was due to a college student eating pasta & sauce and it was left unwashed for well, a very long time. I have heated soups and pastas with sauce in bowls and on plates and washed or rinsed them directly after use and haven't had any problems with mine staining. I have had mine for a few years now and they've gone thru many uses- dishwasher runs and microwave, and they are holding up very nicely for us. I have salad size plates/ dinner size plates/ at least 10 bowls. I love the light weight to them and versatility of microwave/dishwasher use.

Yes we have seen stains. Ours have come mostly from cooking potatoes with their skins on. I haven't done a lot of carrots or tomatoes in them. We have done chili but I don't think that stained as much as the potatoes.

My ceramic pot has the same small cracks and they don"t seem to affect the way it cooks. Try using a small amount of bleach and water mix on the stains.

I got these for Christmas and mine stained right away on the second use cooking some frozen fish. Has anyone successfully gotten the stains out I tried the soap and water per instructions but that did not seem to help.

I haven't had streaking problems with this one like I did with others. I really like it so far. Hope it helps :)

I have never had a problem with mine sticking and I've used several different recipes. I always let my iron heat up for about 10 minutes before I start. After it is heated, then I use a pastry brush and coat the iron with oil or sometimes butter. I wonder if maybe you are trying to remove the pizzelles before they are completely cooked?? That might cause them to be sticky and not want to lift off the iron.

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.
