Is it ok to use this immersion blender in the stainless steel pot? Will the blender scratch the bottom of the pot?

Yes it is fine for stainless steel. The blade is protected and never touches the pot

First of all, stainless steel pots can handle stirring with metal spoons and spatulas - this is even less abrasive than that. The cowl that surrounds the blades of the blender is what comes in contact with the pot. The edges are rounded and won't mar or scratch the pan. This is an amazing tool and I can't imagine not having one in my kitchen. Good luck!

I have used the Grundig about 6 times now to blend various cream type soups. It works very good indeed. However, since I have never used a Cuisinart, I can't say whether or not it's as good. From my brief experience with it, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hand held immersion blender. Hope this helps you out in making a decision.

I brought a Used Health Master and have had the blender for 4+ months now and no problems w/ it. I'm somewhat surprised to see all the feedback about leaking jugs and rusting. My experience has been great so far, but I can't speak to its long-term use.

The metal shaft is six inches from the bottom of the pan and the handle is five more inches before the control buttons. You can immerse the blender at least eleven inches. The mixing action is so good that I rarely immerse the blender stick much past the plastic handle. Most of the pots I use to make soup are only 6" tall. I could use a taller pot and the mixer would still be very effective. I love this blender!

I bought this blender in January. I use a glass picture. I like it because it has a wide bottom and a pouring spout. I make smoothies, dips etc. i can see the bottom and sides and it is heavy enough that the all clad blender does not tip it over.

Sorry, I gave it as a gift, so I have no idea. I would say, however, if you are using all stainless pans, go ahead, but if you are using anything else, you could scratch your pans.

Hi JoAnne! The answer is no, the entire coffee pot is stainless steel. The bottom is smooth and will not scratch a ceramic stovetop. It captures heat very well and we use ours every morning. Hope this helps! Linda

For any portable blender, buy one with the end bit (detachable portion) made of Stainless Steel as it enables you to use it / dip it in hot liquids/purees while cooking. The plastic ones will melt and get damaged.

I have not noticed scratches as it is stainless. I do not throw pots and pans into the sink but I expect to see normal wear from daily use. Bottom grid keeps the sink bottom looking like new.

I use it for everything. The immersion blender attachment is MUCH higher quality than the immersion blender I had (I actually threw my other one away after using this one).

It is powerful enough for my purposes but I've not used other immersion blenders. I use it for smoothies, creaming garlic & mixing small lots of dough - mostly at the higher speeds. Works well for me.

No. This will not fit the vitamix blenders. The way it sits on the top of the motor and connects is totally different. I don't know if for the merits makes you stainless of their own. I don't think so. Hope this helps you.

I have it I would suppose it would scratch the pot but you dont really lay it on the rack that way. So if you do not lay the non stick part on it it should be completely fine. ps i like mine and it took forever to find one to fit my sink

Since I have a stainless steel surface I can't say about other surfaces but I can't see how it could scratch any surface because it is light as a feather. I have two now. I had one I bought years ago and bought one for myself lately and also bought two as gifts. Go ahead and buy it, you will love it.

Yes, I frequently use a stainless steel slotted spoon in my cast iron wok. The wok has not been "washed" in the traditional way since first cleaned and seasoned. The seasoning has built up and held up well and any minor abrasion from the metal spoon or a spatula has no noticeable effect. After use I wipe the surfaces clean and then apply a thin coat of Crisco. This has worked well for several years and I plan to keep it in use for many more. Happy cooking, Dave

Never tried it but my water softener guy told me to get cleaner for glass stove tops. It shouldn't scratch porcelain. I will try it soon myself.

While I don't own this particular set of pots, I have experience with other non-stick pots and pans. If your electric mixer beaters are metallic and accidentally make contact with the pot's interior surfaces, scarring and damage will result, something my husband didn't realize and did to one of my pots while whipping potatoes (guess the flaked up finish ended up in the food). I personally don't recommend the practice for that reason, even with plastic coated beaters.
