YEP, mine is 5 years old and the thermal coating where the pot sits on the actual unit itself, does peel off after use. Its not really a hotplate because it does not stay on after the coffee is done brewing but it IS the element that is used to heat the water of the unit itself during brewing so it does get hot during the brewing cycle. It has never affected performance and to me, it is more of an eyesore but after the heavy use this machine has received in our house, it is understandable. If you do start to see metal showing through, toss the machine because you are risking bigger problems as the heating element is now exposed.

Are you bringing the water to a gentle boil, is the pot Stainless steel? are the instruments you using stainless steel. Are you using enough of the Hydroxide to harden the soap. I ask because in baking I shorted the flavor of the food product. Sorry I can't be of more help. You may want to contact the manufacturer, I have and they are good to work with. Best of luck

I had no problem if you follow their instructions. The key i think is first getting the protective coating completely removed. Love the pan!

Sad to say, but I had the same problem within 30 days of use. Also the middle started to peel. I threw away. So this I can recommend is a skillet made of ceramic, they can with stand high heat cooking. Good luck

No the inner lining including the bottom, is all one piece and made of aluminum. It does not bother me. I do not see how that affects the food in the inner pot. It does get dirty and stained easily which I keep clean by adding some vinegar to the water inside every now and then.

I have this knife and 3 others that have the "coating" - none of them have peeled at all, even after I sharpened them which takes the color off a tiny bit of the very edge. Never put them in the dishwasher, always hand wash & dry. Maybe you got a defect?

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.

Yes I did .... I purchased the Scanpan 6.5 stockpot a number of years ago. (This was shortly after I purchased a number of other Swiss Diamond cook pots ... I'll get back to that point before I finish.) The Sanpan stock I referred too showed sign of the interior finish peeling off after only several months use. That pot NEVER was washed in dishwasher, it was hand washed from day one. So yes I did call Scanpan customer service, (that was when they had a toll free number and you could speak to some one who spoke English fluently. FORGET Snapan! It is now made in a "third world country" !! FORGET the "Lifetime Guarantee" !!

I'm thinking about ordering this cookware. I read one review saying that it scratched the cooktop. Has anyone else had this happen?

The base of the pot is about 1/4 inch thick and it seems to be a separate piece that is somehow connected to it. Maybe there's aluminum in it, I don't know

It's aluminum, so rusting is not an issue. It also has the same properties as any other aluminum pot regarding sticking. It's not Teflon coated, so it's not "non-stick". As long as you understand and respect how to use aluminum pots and don't expect Teflon or stainless steal characteristics, you will not be disappointed. That said, I use the pot for beer brewing and I use it on an outdoor gas burner, so I have no experience I using this on an electronic burner. I can't beggin to imagine how long it would take to heat this much liquid on a stovetop though!

I've had the same problem. I would tend to agree with Maggie Too9 - but am frustrated bc this is the best** tea kettles available to us throw-away americans. and i'd like to not throw this away. is it really rust???

I am not pleased with mine...after using the first time spots appeared in the bottom of the pot. Looked like coating popped off in little spots...bottom was still smooth but discolored. Will not order any more of this brand.

First, the pot is huge, so it may not even fit in your dishwasher. In general it's a bad idea to put stainless steel cookware in the dishwasher, so it's really up to your comfort level. There's no coating to come off, so it's up to you. I don't like to because dishwasher detergents are abrasive and sort of "sand down" things over time. This the same reason I don't put good knives in the dishwasher.Short answer, yes, but it may affect performance/lifespan.

This is not a definitive answer. I have a similar model that is several years old, and the interior finish failed. Could have been my fault in using the wrong utensils, I don't remember now what happened. I only write to say that it is a smart question. We were crazy about this pot while it lasted, for what it's worth.

I haven't opened the box yet and it's been months; why? Because I found out the pot inside is alluminum and I'm wondering if it's safe, is it covered with metal, or you know this fear about aluminum has got me stumped!
