Hey Jill, I have done some research, and according to my studies, the Mc2 line is not induction compatible. Don't hold me to this, but that is what my research has yielded. I know their "Stainless" and "Copper Core" lines are compatible with induction cooking. My suggestion is to contact All-Clad just to make sure, as I am not an expert. I have read for gas or electric cooking the Mc2 line performs a little better getting up to temperature, but I'm sure they all are fine! I do know this, we love our All-Clad Mc2 cookware!

Yes. The aluminum is fairly thin and can bend or be dented fairly easily, so a bit of care is required. Knives and forks scratch the surface. Thicker stainless pans might be better if you plan to use the pan frequently or anticipate rough handling.

This is from Cuisinart's manual for MultiClad...Cuisinart® MultiClad Pro Stainless Cookware can be used in the oven without damage. Naturally, the handle as well as the pan will become hot. Use potholders to prevent burns. The cookware can be used in the oven at any baking temperature up to 500°F and can go from burner to broiler to table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet.

Not sure , I have the skillets. I would imagine search Amazon or Cuisinart web site for pans.

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.

I have the Pro 11. I would advise you to check the Cuisinart customer service. Their web site should provide a contact number. Hope you find your answer.

Yes you can use steel utensils but technically mild abrasions are put on the surface when used. I think that gives the pans character, charm and a kind of patina. Mild use for decades shouldn't effect the performance. I have two identical pans in my kitchen. One used almost daily the other NEVER used. Only on careful inspection could you tell the difference. So much so that on a few occasions various people in the family took it down to use mistakenly confusing it with the old one. The old one has been used with metal utensils for 9 years and looks great. Hope that helps.

While I have not tested mine with metal utensils, I would not recommend metal. Use a good plastic spatula. I use mine for pancakes and it is great. Heats very evenly.

Only if you are very gentle. For example, the rounded side of a metal spoon is probably ok, but the edge of the spoon will probably scratch the finish. BTW, I did not like the finish on the Cuisinart GreenGourmet pan. I prefer the regular Cuisinart non-stick pans.

Gosh, I don't know why not. I treat it the same as I do my other metal pans, not worrying about using metal utensils and I don't see any damage on the pan! It hasn't complained, but then I haven't asked. Kidding aside, I see no problems and I use it all the time.

From the Nuwave FAQs... Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Medium to heavy gauge pots and pans are optimal.

You need the porcelain/ceramic pot (caquelon) for those types. You can use the same assembly for heating but the metal pot will cook them at the wrong temp. Great set btw, got it at xmas and have used it a couple times since!

Yes, you can use a fork (the nonstick is of excellent quality). It is safe to use the metal utensils depends how rough/stronly use. Try to stirr/use metal utensils gently for the good life of the set.

Short answer is no. Personally I never use metal utensils in any coated pan, even the best will eventually show wear. I do like using wood/bamboo spoons as they don't melt under high heat cooking.
