Question 1

I have a ceramic pan like this one but when cooking with tomato sauce it seems to not come out of the coating. Any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

I see this question a lot with ceramic pots and pans. Both my sets are ceramic coated, and this is my trick. Sprinkle baking soda all over the stained area, and then pour some vinegar, to cover, over the baking soda. It'll bubble up for a moment and then settle. Let it sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes, longer if possible. I then take one of my silicone scrubbers and most stains come right out. I used this trick with the WearEver set I bought second hand. The lady swore up and down that the pans were permanently stained, but that they were otherwise perfectly fine. I wish I could show her that they looked practically brand new one I did this cleaning treatment, and most, if not all of the stains were lifted.

Just like cast iron, it takes a little bit of know-how in order to maintain them. And it takes some knowledge to know how to cook in them. One of my biggest tips with ceramic is to not turn up the heat too high, especially when the pot/pan is empty waiting to be cooked in. High heat can produce tiny little spider cracks on the surface, thus making them harder to cook in, as its non-stick surface is now broken, and potentially make it harder to clean.

Hello.  Is the bottom flat in the middle?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 3

Is this pan suitable for induction cooking?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, the Tramontina Ceramica_01 Grill Pan does not work on induction cooktops.  It does, however work exceptionally on gas, electric, and regular ceramic glass cooktops.  If you are interested in a Tramontina grill pan for induction cooking, you may want to consider a grill pan from Tramontina's LYON product line (Link:  https://www.amazon.com/Tramontina-Limited-Editions-11-Inch-Sapphire/dp/B005FJ7DWY/ref=sr_1_1?m=A28BSEPUVCIASB&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1497537004&sr=1-1&keywords=tramontina+lyon+grill+pan) or the Tramontina Enameled Cast Iron product line (Link: https://www.amazon.com/Tramontina-Enameled-Grill-11-Inch-Gradated/dp/B00QLHGA0A/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1497537029&sr=1-1&keywords=tramontina+grill+pan).

Question 4

What is the highest oven temp. recommended for this pan?

Accepted Answer

I threw away the sticker from inside the pan. However I have used it numerous times at the highest setting (450F) and the coating looks fine. The bottom has warped ever so slightly but that happens in time with any big and thin metal pan like this. I'm guessing if you use it @ just below 400 it shouldn't warp. Just to reiterate:there are no cracks in the coating inside or outside, just the bottom is slightly uneven.
