Will this (or any metal drying rack) scratch non-stick pots I put on it?

I wouldn't think so since most non-stick pots are non-stick on the inside of the pot. As a side issue, I use the metal tray underneath for a small baking pan. It is the perfect size to warm and crisp bread for two people.

I doubt the non stick surface would even come in contact with the metal but if you're looking for one, I just reviewed a folding metal dish rack that has changed my life. This one was useless and hardly held anything at all. Click on my name to see other items I've reviewed and check out that dish rack. I'm really really happy with it!!

It has not scratched anything I have put on it but cannot speak to non-stick pots.

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

Hi Arwen. We have not yet used this is non stick pots, mostly we have used it in the cup which comes along with and it is very handy and effective. Everyday My wife keeps telling me how good it is. Having said that, i think there is a strong possibility that there will be scratches on non-stick coating pots!!

Only if you are very gentle. For example, the rounded side of a metal spoon is probably ok, but the edge of the spoon will probably scratch the finish. BTW, I did not like the finish on the Cuisinart GreenGourmet pan. I prefer the regular Cuisinart non-stick pans.

Not recommended. There are lots of "plastic" utensils available. I would look for one of them and not take a chance on scratching the non-stick.Just a personal recommendation.

i have used it on my teflon non-stick pans and so far it doesn't seem to have any issues with scratching off the coating.

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.

As with any non stick surface it is not a good idea to use metal utensils on this cookware. On the other hand, I do sometimes use a metal spoon or a metal spatula on it but it is not often and there have been no marks rom it but that is because I am incredibly careful with my cookware. I would say that in most cases it is OK.. although I would recommend that you are seriously careful with it.

I have used mine probably 30x. I use a nylon sponge and then put in the dishwasher. No loss of finish and the rack does not scratch. I do line mine with foil sometimes.

Hi, My in-laws have this product and we use it quite frequently. I don't know how long they have it but it is definitely a few years. I am currently wanting to get one because it gets a little embarrassing to constantly stop by to borrow the hot pot. It appears the one from my-laws does not have the problem with the scratches like the one that you are describing. We uses the wooden spoons or bamboo made drainers most of them. I don't remember if we uses anything metal during the course of our usage. Perhaps the quality either has gone down or perhaps it was something that you did. Btw... you are just getting the "mass" to respond to you. You should call Amazon.com or go to your order page to initiate a return request. If it has been a while since your purchase, perhaps you need to contact the manufacturer for answer. Let me know if you got this work out. If it is indeed a quality issue, then, I will continue to do the borrowing vs. buying.

Since the blade is recessed, the blade won't harm non-stick, but perhaps holding the smart stick down hard on the bottom of the pot might scratch since it is made of metal. If you are careful I wouldn't think it would hurt.

This pot was bought as a gift for my daughter who does not have a glass ceramic stove top. The pot came wrapped in plastic so I did not check out the bottom of it. I have a ceramic stove top and the pans that I have that have grooves in them have not scratched my cooktop. Don't know if my answer will be of any help to you.

If your stove griddle is coated, like with teflon, it would scratch the coating. If not, I think it would work great.

Are you cooking with metal spoons? These pots have not scratched until my mother cooked in them for TXGIVING and used a metal spoon.Otherwise they show no signs of wear.

NO,using metal utensils will scratch the nonstick surface which will compromise the ease of clean up.

It didn't scratch mine. I have a gas stove now. Really love her pans! I think you will too.

The blade is recessed so that would not scratch a smooth surface. However, the outer metal circle does vibrate a bit and sounds like it is scratching the pot while it is on, if I let it hit the bottom of the pot. It's not necessary to touch the bottom of the pot and I've used it on non-stick surfaces and haven't had a problem, but haven't inspected closely.

If you use other steel pans, I suppose so. The DeBuyer pan bottom is smooth like most pans and shouldn't scratch.
