If you have used this roaster over 30 times, have you experienced any loss of nonstick finish? Over time does the rack scratch the finish?

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'm sorry - - it was a gift for my son. So far I haven't heard any complaints!

Yes,it's a solid material throughout and there is no Teflon or coating on the roaster.It holds the heat really well so be careful not to burn.

The rack is metal, so no nonstick coating to worry about. But I also haven't had an issue with sticking either. As for the inside depth, I got 3.25 inches approx. We have a super small oven and it fits perfectly and still roasts large hams. I'm actually very impressed with the pan!

I have had my pan for over 2 years and use it regularly. The rack is very strong and stable and is still good and I expect it to be for years to come. The only thing is that it has discolored, but that is not a problem at all. Still cleans up easily.

I purchased from Amazon, when I had a problem Cuisinart replaced my CSK 250. I don't think they would do that if it had been a knock off. Understand, despite claims, non-stick eventually deteriorates regardless of how careful you are with the pan. I use my pan about two times a week, and it still looks new. It will eventually fail, I am ok with that, just don't buy into any non-stick being a forever pan.

I have had mine for well over a year and have no problems with the non stick quality. My husband is hard on my cookware and these have held up great. And they regularly go in my dishwasher!

Used mine only twice before I returned it. The first time I roasted a turkey and then used the drippings to make gravy. Worked very well and cleaned up easily. A couple of weeks later I roasted a chicken and again used the drippings to make gravy. After I washed it I notices 2 or 3 areas where the finish was worn off. I had only used a wash cloth and Ivory Liquid to wash it. Nothing at all abrasive. The chicken was stuffed with lemons, so I don't know if the acid caused the problem. If it did, then there is a major problem with the finishing. In any case I immediately returned the pan.

It has a non stick coating and yes it will scratch, but this is the only down fall, we love it and use it every day, almost never use the gas stove any more

I have used it several times on mine....and other cast iron pans...and no, it doesn't scratch it. If it leaves a rust-type stain, just clean it with Barkeepers and it will be perfect! I use Barkeepers on my cooktop all the time and it's amazing. My cooktop is 14 years old and not a scratch

Not really sure but for some reason I would think that the nonstick coating could be wearing off.

I agree with the others that the non-stick surface seems to be sturdier than the old Teflon coating. I use a wooden spoon with my pan and it doesn't even show any scratching on the surface. I would say that with a little consideration for the surface that you should not have any flaking or other issues associated with Teflon.

I really haven't had mine long enough for there to be any wear on the finish , but it looks and feels different than any teflon finish I've had . . . looks and feels more like a ceramic finish. So far I love it and make bread two times a week.

So far I have been using it twice a week and it is still going strong. I have had it 6 months and it is still roasting. Just have to wipe it out after every use it puts a brown haze on the clear plastic. Other than that I have done nothing to it.

I've had mine nearly a year.I use it to roast meat and veggies. So far no issue with the pan warping!

I've had mine for about two months and I don't have any scratches on any of them with my husband, my sitter and me using them. We are careful not to use any metal utensils on them and wash with cloth, sponge or fabric-based scour pad if needed (and it rarely is) both inside and out. I gave away nearly $600 worth of All-Clad cookware after getting this set and I couldn't be happier. It's so worth the extra effort to keep it looking nice.

I've had mine for over one year now. Used it hundreds of times. The nonstick surface has not scratched and nothing sticks. It's far better than Teflon coated pans. A durable and completely nonstick surface.

We haven't used it much, so I don't know if the coating will wear off. The pan is fairly easy to clean but the rack is more difficult. It takes a fair amount of scrubbing, but does clean with some effort.
