What types of surfaces can the chainmail dishcloth be used on? (i.e. glass, non-stick surfaces pots, metal cookie sheets, etc)

Hi, The chainmail dishcloth was developed to clean the cooked on residue that builds up on the bottoms and sides of good cookware - stainless steel, hard anodized aluminum, copper, enameled cast iron, etc. It also works very well on glass casseroles and other baking dishes. The customers are telling us they use it on everything with great results. Some brands of new stainless steel cookware have a real mirror-like finish. I would not recommend using the chainmail dishcloth on that surface - it is a steel utensil and you should always be careful of using steel on steel with new pots and pans.

Possibly - i would just worry about how much liquid is in the dish. The paper is coated and holds up fairly well, but if you anticipate a lot of moisture, might not be the best. Held up great for banana bread!

I have only used it on silverplate and sterling-nothing as big as a stainless dishwasher!

Yes, they could be used on dishes. The brushes are made of tough polymer not metal.

I'm not sure. I bought the dishes to use for serving but understand they can be used for baking. Just remember, if you do bake in them they will be very hot!

Well, of course you can use whatever you would like, but if you want the non-stick coating to last I would recommend using anything other than metal. Metal cooking utensils tend to scratch and scrape the non-stick surface. Plastic, wood, or other non-metal utensils are recommended.

No, that would not be a good idea. I tried it with one pot to see and it messed it up. Not to the point that it is unusable, but it made the seams separate and the thin stainless steel edges exposed a bit. The others have only been hand washed and are perfect. I have a friend that has a set of older pots and she told me to never put them in the dishwasher and I had to learn for myself. But even though they are only hand washable, I LOVE them!

It works well for plastic (any brand), glass and stoneware bowl/plates for me. The problem for us before was that it doesn't stick to some table surface. The problem now is that my son refuses to use it. Note: he is 2.

They will work fine on dishes. I would avoid using them on the fine china, since they might damage some of the decorative items (gold, etc.). For porcelain or glass, they won't scratch and they will clean fine. They are fairly small, so if you are cleaning a lot of dishes you might want something a bit bigger.

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!!

There is a rim around the bottom that the dishes sit on which is not glazed and seems rough. I would not use these dishes on a surface that you would be concerned about getting scratched. I've been using this set on placemats only.

These are marked as made of Stainless Steel, which material should not be a problem in most normal dishwasher machine using normal dishwashing soap. If you are working with dough, especially sweet doughes, this really should be given a light brushing with a plastic-bristled pot brush or nail brush for maximum efficiency. I love my set. Hope this helps.

Yes. You can use metal utensils on this cookware as it doesn't have a non-stick coating.

Well, pots and pans - yeppers. Appliances or other surfaces? I wouldn't recommend using it on something I wasn't going to rinse.

I found this one to be pretty cheaply made and wouldn't suggest it. Try the Nordic Ware cast iron simmer mat; it can be used on a glass cook top.

My answer is that I'm not really sure. My inclination is to say 'no'. This is fairly lightweight aluminum, and I'm not certain the 'non-stick coating' is really much more than a high grade linear polyurethane paint. Which means that the paint would not like dishwasher soap much. I use mine primarily for small baking jobs like 4-6 cookies or biscuits, and I spray it with cooking spray before I use it. Cleaning it then only takes a fast swipe with a soapy sponge and it's clean. Hope that helps.

We use it on the glass cook top all the time. My wife is very disappointed in the set- the finish has severely faded over time, and the non-stick coating has started flaking when it bumps anything else that's hard.
