General orientations

Some food containing starch such as pasta and rice, may stain the internal part of the steamer while cooking. In order to remove stains easily, rub them with a cloth which has been dampened with lemon juice or vinegar, or use the stainless steel polishing paste by Tramontina. Avoid leaving food in the steamer for a long time; salt may also stain the steamer.

In order for the Tramontina stainless steel steamer to always be attractive and shiny, we recommend it is only washed with detergent and a soft sponge. Tramontina developed a special paste to polish and remove stains on stainless steel products, which is available at points of sale.
Whenever possible, rinse the steamer with hot water after washing and dry it immediately so as to maintain its original sheen. Chlorine and other substances in water may stains the steamer.
The stainless steel handles acquire heat during cooking.
We advise the use of gloves when handling them.
