Need a knife set that I can use on my stainless steel pans and my sons non-stick ones. Would these knives work without scratching it up?

They're pretty dull, as they depend more on the sawing action of the serrated "blade" to cut, so I would think they would be safe.

magnets do mot stick to the botom. I have has several scanpans for more than 3 years. Grankly I abuse them!, and they still perform quite nicely. Some scratches are noticable because I tend to use a metal spatuals, but these do not seem to alter the non stick surface. Remember thought to warm your pan slowly. Put it on low- medium heat, go have a cup of coffee then come back & cook. I think you'll be happy

I have a nice set of (non All-Clad) stainless-steel pots and pans but when it comes to eggs, I strictly use non-stick. It is just much easier and saves time.

I'm not sure what All-Clad would say but I think they would recommend against it. Personally, I wouldn't use them as I am convinced they shorten the life of your non-stick pan or appliance. When non-stick surfaces become scratched they lose some of their non-stick qualities and the non-stick substance can begin to flake into what you are cooking. That is not a good thing. I have had great luck with non-stick utensils from Williams-Sonoma and Calphalon as well as some wooden utensils. I reserve my metal utensils for my BBQ grill, plain cast iron pans and griddles and my stainless steel and French iron pans.

No. I bought this set specifically to avoid the toxic problems being discovered with teflon and other non stick coatings. With quality stainless steel, once meats and vegetables sear, they release from the pan. I also bought this set to use with an induction cooktop in my small 5th wheel travel trailer so the fact they nest for minimal storage is great.

I would say no to using metal spoons. I have had these pans for several years now and have always used non-metal utensils on them. I also keep them stacked with a paper towel in between to prevent scratching. With these precautions they have not had any scratches and are great pans.

TBH, I cook more with cast iron, but I've used my set to reheat soups and such for several months now and have had no issues. Purchased to replace a non-stick set, I really wasn't expecting much because of the price, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well they perform and clean up. Don't forget to pick up some product like Barkeeper's Friend and they'll look brand new in seconds.

When I first started using them yes, because I was using them as if they were non-stick pans. You have to use lower heat temperatures with stainless steel.

Because of the type of steel they are made out of it is recommended to hand wash only. Best to consult calphalon for more information, but they are a great knife set

I have read not to use metal products to clean the pans; the seasoning is a result of oils penetrating into the iron over time, metal scrubbers can scratch deep enough to expose unseasoned, bare iron, not good for the pan, like scratching teflon. Besides this product, I use a stiff brush or "scrubby" side of dual purpose kitchen sponges. Scrub while running hot water over the pan, wipe or heat (on the stove, on low)dry, thoroughly.

I've had my set for about a month and so far I haven't scratched anything, and I've always thought I was rather forceful when using knives. That being said I'd say no, utensils generally shouldn't mark the set up.

I have never used metal utensils with these pans. They recommend not using them and with that cost, I'm not taking the chance. By the way, I love these pans, it is worth taking just a little care to keep them good. Nothing sticks to them, but if I scratch them, I am sure they will start to degrade.

I have not used the knife as of yet but it looks like they would work. Hope this helps you.

I would recommend NOT putting them in the dishwasher. After use I take a soft cotton towel and clean and dry immediately. Do not use any abrasive sponges on the stainless as it might scratch and leave swirl marks.

I have a Samsung glass top slide in stove that I use these on. They have a smooth bottom so they won't scratch the top. I love this set. It cooks evenly and while you will get some sticking like with scrambled eggs etc they are easy to clean. Soak them in hot water for a few minutes then use a sponge for stainless Steele so you don't scratch the surface and a little bit of Bar Keepers Friend and they clean spotless and quickly.

No, they will scratch the finish. I use melamine spoons and flat turners found in most kitchen stores.
