Can this scrubber be used on Le Creuset's enameled cast iron pots or will the interior get scratched?

Cast iron only in my opinion. I wouldn't chance ruining a $90 pan with it...soak it in hot water for 20 minutes.

The interior enamel will get scratched. It should only be used on a cast iron finish IMHO.

I don't own any enameled pans at all, so cannot be certain, but it's not overly scratchy. This scrubber is smooth and rounded metal. I've used it on plates before and have never noticed any scratches.

With a stainless steel inside, hot water and a cloth should be used to clean it. Any type of a brush could scratch it.

NO, it will scratch....You need a plastic-type spatula good for non-stick surfaces with a high temperature rating.

I use it on the inside of pots and pans with no problems..It is the best metal cleaner I have ever used.

Yes, I have a ceramic cook top and I use the waxy cleaner that polishes and helps prevent scratching and I'm careful to pick up and set down when I need to move the cast iron ware. If you slide it around, you'll scratch up the glass surface. I've been using the cast iron for the whole 3 years I've had the cook top and it still looks new.

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

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.

I really don't see it as being able to scratch any surface. It 'looks like ' a steel grid on the back, but it is not. A 3-M tough strength scrubber that can be purchased at home improvement stores would probably work even better. I am not a fan, but it is 'OK'

Cast iron interior and what the heck is PFOA? Major cooking done in Le Creuset and has been for years and I ain't dead yet!!

All stainless steel will scratch through use...it's part of the charm and character. I love my sink! Especially since it was so economical and comparable in quality to much more costly "brand" name sinks.

Although you could use stainless steel utensils, I prefer to use wooden or heat tolerant silicone utensils to help keep the inside of the pots and pans scratch-free.

So far we have had no problems with scratching, When using my cast iron pans I do use extra caution and only use them on low and medium temps. The stainless steel pots and pans which we use most have not left any scratches or marks. Any splashes or spill overs have been easy to clean with Weiman Glass top cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. Hope this helps

Check manufacturer's details. It doesn't get scratched up like a skillet might. Use it for decorating and transferring wedding cakes.

YES this can scratch non-stick pots. I ruined a good circulon sauce pot by holding the blender in one spot for too long. It wore away the coating. Since then I always hold the blender at an angle and do my best not to press it against the bottom of the pots.

I have read not to use metal products to clean the pans; the seasoning is a result of oils penetrating into the iron over time, metal scrubbers can scratch deep enough to expose unseasoned, bare iron, not good for the pan, like scratching teflon. Besides this product, I use a stiff brush or "scrubby" side of dual purpose kitchen sponges. Scrub while running hot water over the pan, wipe or heat (on the stove, on low)dry, thoroughly.

Inside or outside of the pan? I've used FARBERWARE Cookware for many years and never had a problem as described. I scrub my stubborn stains with Barkeepers Friend, works every time!

Yes, you can use metal utensils. I scrub the inside with a steel wool scrubber and the outside with a softer nylon scrubber. The outside is a chrome-like and shiny; the inside is a satin finish. Stainless steel is a hard metal and very durable. Never use chlorine bleach on stainless steel. You can use powdered cleansers such as Bar Keeper's Friend on any burned on food on the inside or outside of the pan. Stainless steel can be scratched but not very easily. If you like to cook this pan is an investment because it should last forever, scratches and all! Also, care instructions come with the pan.
