Thank you for viewing. I used the takoyaki plate and the flat plate once each. The takoyaki plate has no stains, but the flat plate has slight stains if you look closely. Also, there are two small paint chips on the side of the lid (see photo 5). Please check the images before purchasing. * The item will be shipped with the outer box wrapped in bubble wrap. - Brand: ricopa - Color: Cream - Temperature settings: 5 levels - Model: MHP-R102
