will tomatoes or tomato sauce stain the oven

Maryann, Made a stew that had some tomato in it but just a small amount. No staining from that. I baked a bread in it at 425 degrees and had some very faint browning in the enamel but not much.

No--not when I made chili. It had a very big tomato base, and the porcelain did not stain, at all. At little browning, perhaps, like Maryann, but no staining. Steve B.

No I cook all types of gravys in mine all the time and nothing has stained it, it cleans very easy. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

No, stove top but I did read a tip from someone if your orgreenic pan has some staining from food. If you have a self cleaning oven you can stick the pan in during the clean cycle. Since it is ceramic the stain will form a powder just like the stains in the oven will. Have not tried this, because my pan is clean.

It's normal for stains to develop on the clay pot. I always use a brush and water only to clean mine and I don't worry about any colorations on the pot. I have used mine a lot and it doesn't seem to affect the functioning of it. I always soak mine in water for about 15-30 minutes before actually placing it in the cool oven for cooking, however.

yes, absolutely. Plus I have found that even chili and marinara sauce does not stain them. We are really impressed with these bowls for hot or cold stuff!

Staining what? I just mix it in a metal dog bowl with hot water before adding meat. Plastic can stain easily from a lot of things. Vegetable juice being one of them

I have two Le Creusets. My old one, which I did not treat especially nicely, is discolored. Having learned from that, I never put the new one thru the dishwasher, and I do leave it to soak overnight. I make lots of tomato things in it, and it is not at all stained. I do use rubber or plastic utensils in it, so as to not scrape the bottom.

I would probably go with the actual "tomato sauce screen" on their website, I think you'll have more mess than it's worth trying to use this one in its stead.

We have had the plates for several months. We have never had a problem with stains. We even microwave food with no problems

No & the glass does get "heat stained" but it is the BEST appliance in my kitchen.The best grilled cheese are made in the panini, & when heating up or baking it doesn't burn as much energy as heating up the main oven,hope this helps

I never personally did it but I would be afraid, it would be all discolored on the outside from being in the oven.

I did not pre-season it, the pre-seasoning professionally done by the factory. you can see and feel like there's an extra coating . after used and while still hot , i just put a little water and used a hard plastic brush to clean it up and then dry it. I there's any discoloration due to cooking with some acidic ingredient , like vinegar , tomatoes . Then i just use a napkin with little oil and wipe the inside surface and it looks like new again . This is to prevent it having a rust colored surface. Lodge has a website in case you want to redo the pre- seasoning again . You only do this if it get dull and showing some rust in the cooking surface.

No, they're excluded in the little manual that comes with the set. Having used the deep pan with tomato sauce a number of times already, I don't see how it would be possible to stain the white ceramic inside the pans; as for scratches, I try not to use metal utensils with these pans.

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

It will get stained, no way around it. I just use dish soap and the same scrubber I use on the dishes.

Tomato sauce doesn't. I don't cook with wine or vinegar. I'm getting more used to this pan. Someone suggested to bring oil in the pan to shimmering heat before trying to cook anything. That helped the sticking eggs but still not as good as a well-seasoned cast iron pan. We use this SS unit a lot for a hamburger-onion-garbanzo-black bean-kidney bean-mexican tomato-olives-cumin dish. Open five cans and we can eat for several days. Don't short the cumin. I like the lid that came with this unit, it cleans up easily, the handle stays relatively cool.

I have one that is over 15 years old, and it's not discolored. I've only used it on the stove top, not in the oven; don't know if that makes a difference.

We had the same question before bought it. And I am glad to say that it is stain proof so far. Tomato sauce, coffee, that forgotten bowl of mystery food found in the back of the fridge, none of it has stained the sink. It cleans up with very little effort. We are very pleased with this sink.
