I'm concerned about using it in my Le Cruset cookware for fear of scratching the surface. Has anyone encountered this as a problem?

I have used this and other versions for a few years without any pan problems.. Se John Johnson's post. They are really handy for soups (pea) and whatever (omlets).

The spinning blade, encased as was mentioned, is a 1/2 or so above the bottom of the guard.

I have used it in my LeCruset, but be sure not to touch the sides or bottom of the pot with it.

Don't take i apart to clean it, just put hot water & soap in a pan/cup and blend it for a few seconds then rinse and dry (unplug to dry!!).

The spinning blade is completely enclosed by the cup-like guard and should never come into contact with the surface of the cookware.

I just used it to make mayo. I mixed it in the plastic cup that came with it, and placed the mixer flat against the bottom. I just checked, and there were no scratch marks on the bottom. My guess is if it doesn't scratch plastic you'll be safe. Hope this helps!

Don't think you need to worry about scratching cookware surface as the blades do not touch the either the sides or the bottom of the pot. When I use the blender, I keep the blade guarde pretty much off of the pot surface but even if you do touch a surface, it would not leave a mark. Enjoy

It isn't damaged. It will probably come off with a good cleaning with Bar Keeper's Friend. It is a pretty common occurrence with new SS cookware. Happy cooking!!

I have two Le Creusets. My old one, which I did not treat especially nicely, is discolored. Having learned from that, I never put the new one thru the dishwasher, and I do leave it to soak overnight. I make lots of tomato things in it, and it is not at all stained. I do use rubber or plastic utensils in it, so as to not scrape the bottom.

I think if you have been using any kind of cookware and haven't had any problems, this would not be an issue definitely. The cookware is kind of delicate and light and inside the non stick is ceramic. I don't believe you will have any problem as far as scratching your glasstop surface.

Hi Lynne, Sorry but I do not know and have never tested it either! I suggest you contact Le Creuset.Either way, be careful in your kitchen!PF

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

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���.

Hi JMaine,I bought this pot last Christmas and I am getting another this December. They are great!!! Non-stick (without the unnecessary coating) is more like it. If ever something gets stuck in there, don't you worry. It comes off with one swipe of your dish sponge. If you are considering this pot I recommend that you do make that purchase. They are pricy but you won't regret your money.Good luck and enjoy your Le Creuset pot.

Hi,I use dish detergent. For stubborn use fine steel wool or SOS pads that have soap in them. The pads do not seem to scratch the surface but I have noticed that metal spoons, spatulas do. I use Pam cooking spray before I cook in this beautiful baker. We cooked a prime rib in it Christmas eve. Easy clean up for stainless steel.

I purchased this roasting pan as a gift, so I cannot answer your question directly. However, if you use a wooden spoon or wooden spatula, it should not scratch the pan.

While the blade is shielded, if you scrape the housing on your non-stick surface you could scratch it. I do not use it on mine, if I need to blend something I cooked in a non-stick pan I pour it into a large 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup, then return it to the pan.

I have not had a problem with marks made by pan movement on the surface. I recommend cleaning the cooktop with cleaners made for glass top stoves. I am very pleased with this product. I use it daily.

I use it all the time on my ceramic cooktop with NO problems. The base is flat NOT scratchy. I love it.

No, I use it in a non-stick pan and haven't had any problems with scratching. Like someone else said, it kind of floats on the water in the pan.

I'm using it in my Fagor stainless steel pan because the original cups are no longer non stick. I haven't seen any scratches or had any other problems.

I have had the Le Creuset Enameled pan for over a year and I use it all the time. I clean it by using Bar Keeps Friend and a Mr Clean eraser. That combination seems to really work for me. I use my pan at least one a week.

with just light scratches that no doubt will come with everyday use it should be no problem. I have used my with metal and plastic utensils and do have very light scratches. would think the scratch has to be pretty deep to expose the core.
