How resistant is this acrylic bucket to scratches by steel tongs?

I use acrylic tongs in this bucket. I think steel tongs would detract from its clean lines and would definitely scratch it

I've used steel tongs twice in mine and it doesn't have any noticeable scratches.

I used steel tongs and they were touching the ice really and not the bucket. It does have a liner. I suppose it would depend on the type and shpae the of steel tongs they were.

I use plastic tongs but the sturdiness of the inner liner should be safe with all but sharp tined prongs

Ive only had mine for a few weeks, but i left mine in the oven on accident for 20+ minutes at 350 and it didnt hurt it. I put mineral spirits on mine (stuff i had for my rolling pin) after the oven abuse. My label didnt have any maintenance instructions so i cant say for sure. Ive whacked mine with a big cleaver and it leaves some marks, less if you cut across the grains of the wood. Im pretty tuff on stuff! If mine gets too beat up, id buy another. Definitely happy with this purchase.

It hasn't scratched my wood finish at all, but I imagine it could be possible to scratch the paint. The magnet is strong enough though, that gluing some felt over the magnet wouldn't affect it's ability to open the locks, and would definitely protect your paint. To me it would be worth doing, because these locks are by far the best cabinet child lock system that I've found.

I only use a wood spoon so can not say. It is very thick so I doubt a scratch would matter anyway.

I use metal spoons on pans, just don't dig down hard on anodized pans with metal utensils.

I have not had a scratching and rusting issue but I would not use a metal knife to remove the buns. If sticking is a problem try using a plastic utensil. If you lightly grease the pan you shouldn't have a serious problem with your baked goods sticking to the pan. When using a dark pan I usually bake at a lower than recommended temperature to avoid over cooking the bottom and edges.

Absolutely. I have used an aluminum pan on it. Most often used with serving dishes though. I attempting to not scratch it badly.

It's all metal except the knob and both handles have a silicone? insert or covering to, I believe, help you grip those parts better. I'm not sure if they're heat resistant at all. The clip or scraper on the bottom may be plastic.

I make Gumbo with a 14 quart Magna Lite. I make sure that it does not slide around. So far no scratches.

I don't know- no marking to that effect- however, the stainless material seems to be quite thick and sturdy and denting and scratching has not been an issue despite normal amount of daily abuse. Definitely does not feel flimsy like some low-end metal appliances. Outer surface is nice brushed satin, inner surface is polished.

We've had our set for a month. I am a little more careful with this set then I have been with pots and pans in the past. I try not to use metal utensils on them. The pans and potsare really pretty sturdy. I'm not worried.

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.

I've had mine since December of 2011 and it's still my go-to pan for most things. I've also used metal utensils on it quite often and it still doesn't have any scratches in the non-stick coating.

I haven't had any issues with scratches. I'm not using Comet etc just baking soda. I LOVE this sink. Yes, the pitch should be more so it drains better but I will never go back to a two compartment sink again.

I don't know but this and other cast iron skillets are heavy. If dragged across a glass cooktop I would imagine it could leave scratches.

The no stick coating is thin and easily scratched on my MSC-400 too. I registered my unit at www.cuisnart.com where you can find out about parts. Mine came with a 3 year 'limited warranty' which covers defective parts. I doubt scratching is covered. It is impressively no-stick and I have not used anything harsher than a terry type dishcloth to clean. I have tried to be very careful cooking and stopped using the browning feature for concern about scratching bones etc. because the coating is very thin. I see outside is getting scuffed from ordinary use. I see in a crock pot cooking books that a removable plastic type liner is always used. That may be the way to go to deal with scratches if warranty does not cover.

I tested it just now by scratching the "OXO" with my fingernail, and there was no change (that is, it didn't scratch off at all). I'd say, "It's within the realm of possibility, but highly unlikely." Keep in mind, this product was recently purchased. Mama has one also, but I don't remember her stating that the one she has wore out.
