Safe for non-stick pans? But can I use it on non-stick pots without tearing up the bottom?

The blades will never touch the bottom of the pan, but the metal will, however you would have to be really brutally pushing it around on the bottom or sides of the pans to do any damage.

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 don't believe that is safe as while the teflon could handle the heat ,the painted outsides and handles would be done gonners. I'm a firm believer in Pyrex mostly for oven cooking,but theres some recipes I've used where they will reccomend using metal non-stick ovenware. I do a lot of stirfry and sautees.So these pans have worked out great for the top of the stove and I have noticed due to the bottoms of this cookware spreading the heat,my pasta is cooking better and a little quicker.I do reccomend this cookware,It's GREAT,I love it!

You risk scratching the nonstick material if you use metal. Just use any flat plastic utensil to loosen the pancake and it will work.

I've not used it on non-stick pans. The spatula is metal, so I would think it would not work on non-stick surfaces.

This is my most used pan! I would definitely say no if you want the pan's surface to remain intact. I use nylon or wood in mine and I still see wear marks on the surface--not breaks. I would buy stainless steel if I wanted to use metal utensils .

Hi Tina, It says not to with non stick pans becuase over time it will wear off, and we don't. Washing by hand is super easy though since nothing sticks to it. We jut use a soft dish brush and we have had no issues with them so far. Great set!

I would be afraid to as it would get really hot and may burn the bottom. It doesn't feel like a heavyweight steel/metal you find in a pan.

The bottom of the pan is marked as induction burner safe. I cannot vouch for this as I do not have an induction burner.

I think you're fine as long as you don't touch the bottom of the pan with the immersion blender. You should only use this if the liquid is deep enough to submerge the blender without touching the bottom (i.e., soup pot) if you're worried about the non-stick.

The surface is durable, but you could damage it if you use metal utensils. I always use something that is safe for a non stick surface and these last me a very long time.

I threw mine away. Very unsafe. The nonstick surface is anything but, and the coil is exposed on the bottom of the pan which can cause serious burns. Send it back.

I have not used it on non-stick pans but I would say not by the thickness of the metal. I have never pushed down hard or dragged it on the dishes.

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

I don't like to use any knives on my pots and pans, especially ones with a non-stick coating. That stuff will scratch off with forks or anything metal. Not good for your food or your health...I have these great flexible cutting boards that you just rinse off and they don't take up a lot of space.

it is non stick and you do not.... i repeat... do not want to use metal like my nephew did and killed my new pan.. ;(

Shouldn't be a problem. So far (I've owned these pans for a couple of months), these are the best non-stick pans I have ever owned.
