Will 2 slight breaks in finish of ceramic insert contaminate food cooked in the pot?

I wouldn't think so, but we use those bag inserts we got on Amazon to make cleaning the ceramic insert so much easier. If there were any contamination, I think the bags would protect the food. nng much easier

No, I would not recommend it. I have gotten tiny little marks in the bottom from the one time I used a fork to stir something. However, these are this is the most wonderful cookware I've ever used. It works well with plastic, silicone or wooden tools, and it is remarkably easy to clean.

Sounds like this cooker has a "coating" on the ceramic bowl; not so sure this is a good idea either. Most non-stick coatings are unhealthy.

Am not sure ,but would not think so. The little coffee pot is wonderful and I use it every day. I have never considered lead in a porcelean or ceramic food safe utensil.

suppose you could but to prevent damage to the ceramic coating would suggest either wood or plastic utensils

You cannot put the insert in the oven or on the stovetop. Hope this clears up your confusion.

I wouldn't. We try not to,but we do occasionally,with no repercussions. I'd like my cookware to last so I take care of it by using plastic or wooden utensils. They do make great utensils that are safe for this surface. Enjoy your cooking���.

Uncertain. The item is ceramic, so using a bit made to drill into ceramics and some care will probably result in useable holes. How fast this particular ceramic will chew up a bit? I do not know. I do not know if repeated heating/cooling cycles will cause cracks originating from the holes. I have only used mine for cooking without any modifications.

I would partially fill the pan with water/dish detergent/ and heat to boiling to loosen the debris. This is a mildly abrasive product.

Thanks for the info! I broke my old 1 1/2 quart corningware -- and didn't realize the new stuff wasn't safe on the stove top. Why did they change a good thing?

No, it will discolor the outside finish on the pot. I wish it was dishwasher safe.

-Not really sure, so don't quote me, but I imagine it's just fine and safe to continue using. My experience has been that those big pots develop a bit of discoloration in the course of being used. Heck, even my smaller pots and pans do that.

I have put the insert in the dishwasher and it is still fine. I've had mine for a couple years now. It should be just fine as long as you dont use any high temp scrub on it in the dishwasher. Of course it is so easy to wash by hand as well. I hope this has helped. Auralee

No, I have detected a little discoloration but I have saw no pits or any metal scraping off. I have used my pot a lot but I always wipe it down with olive oil before the next use.

I haven't experienced this problem. I am enjoying my set. I use silicon utensils and wash by hand.

according to WearEver, just the first time of use. washing it in a mild detergent with a soft sponge shall also keep the ceramic in excellent shape. don't ever try cooking anything on high heat as for many foods, you don't need it. The bottom of this cookwear is the only problem as it changes color from use as it is harder to clean with the groves in the bottom of the pans. you will see a "brown" color appear after some useage on an electric stove.

I don't know about this product being dishwasher safe because it wipes clean so easily. It seems to have a smooth coating upon it that would protect it and the cooking instruments that it comes into contact with which is why I purchased it. I have not put this item in the dishwasher so I can't say if it is safe to do so or not. My intention was to keep the product in good condition for my ceramic coated pots. Sorry that I can't answer your question because I hand wash!!
