Is it safe for non-stick pots? Or will it scratch the non-stick coating?

Hi, Amna - I've only used it in stainless steel pots, so I can't promise it won't scratch non-stick pots. I love it though. I bought one for all my friends and they rave about it too. J....

I only use in cast alum pots, therefore can not say if it is safe in nonstick or not.

It will scratch the non-stick for sure because it vibrates a lot when the milk or water boils..

Yes. I have a ceramic-top stove and have had no problem with scratching. I like the pan. It is very shallow but I like it.

NO, it will scratch....You need a plastic-type spatula good for non-stick surfaces with a high temperature rating.

This is not safe on all non-stick surfaces. It is safe on Teflon. However, it is -not- safe on Calphalon non-stick surfaces.

I have used it mostly on my stainless steel but I have only tried it once on my anonized cookware and it did no damaged as a matter of fact on that type of cookware it acted like Ajax does when it cleans. It did not scratch or do damage. Hope this helps

I've been using the wok since August 2012. It is really non-stick. The wok is big enough to make soup in it and light enough for me to lift it. Unfortunately, the coated is scratched. I don't know how it happened. I probably will need to replace it.

Wrong. I own it. The pot is definitely not stainless steel and it does have a non stick surface. Mine burned and the nonstick peeled. Not safe to use after this happens. I'm buying a new one.

I don't see the harm. Just use a non-metallic utensil to avoid scratching it.

Since it doesn't have non-stick coatings all should be safe. I use all three without any scratching. Quick tip for cleaning; if you get baked on grease, etc, just pour a cup or two of water in the pan and heat to just about a boil and use a utensil to loosen up the baked on mess. Hope that helps! I love this pan! I now have three in different sizes.

I agree with the others, it's non-stick but I haven't had any issues with scratching or peeling. I typically hand wash but have put it in the dishwasher once or twice as well. It seems very sturdy.

I would bot reccomend it it is made with very low grade metals and the coating on the non-stick part will probably get damaged.

Yes, I have used it on non-stick surfaces, but don't scrub with anything that will scratch the surface.

I have had no problems whatsoever with the non-stick coating. I always wash my pan and paddles by hand after they have completely cooled. I also never use anything but non-metallic tools and never use abrasive cleaning materials.

No, I use it in a non-stick pan and haven't had any problems with scratching. Like someone else said, it kind of floats on the water in the pan.

I don't know and that is a little worrying. My best guess is that non-stick pans are safe to use as long as the surface remains intact and undamaged. Personally, having used this pan I am thinking of buying the traditional copper one

I'm using it in my Fagor stainless steel pan because the original cups are no longer non stick. I haven't seen any scratches or had any other problems.

No. The nonstick coating doesn't interact with food and cleans up so easily. No need to risk damaging it with scouring, sponge and soap is all it takes. I use high temp silicon tools to cook with it and the coating has not scratched in years of use, and I cook a lot. And I use this pan at least a few times a week. Even though I have very spendy Bourget copper cookware, this is the most used pan in my kitchen. Top recommendation, regardless of price, the bonus is that it's a very inexpensive pan. Don't know how it would hold up to metal tools, but there's lots of great high temp silicon tools out there that will be very easy on the pan - so why take the chance?
