is it safe for the non stick cooking surfaces? Thanks.

I have never heard of it being used for that particular purpose. I use it to keep my pipes clear. Sorry this does not help. Perhaps you can contact the maker of the product for a better, more useful answer.

Yes, I have always found it to be safe to use on non stick cooking surfaces. Cleans my glass top stove beautifully.

No problem, it is cast iron. The "non stick" is from baked in oil/fat so don't use soap to clean, don't soak in water and if you need to you can always re-bake it with more oil/fat.

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&#127859;&#127859;&#127859;.

We always use olive oil in our cookware. Even though it is a non stick surface we feel that using oil will preserve its life. We really like this cookware.

I have had no problems whatsoever with the non-stick coating. I always wash my pan and paddles by hand after they have completely cooled. I also never use anything but non-metallic tools and never use abrasive cleaning materials.

No sticking problems. If I cook something that is adhering I put some water in the pan, heat it to boiling for a few moments and then it all comes off easily. I don't think you should ask us re safety but research it on a reliable website on your own. I really like the cookware.

As far as I know it is not non stick. It will need periodic cleaning much like a oven.

It is best to use non stick utensils so that you do not damage the interior, nonstick, surface of the Calphalon pans.

No, this set is not non stick. I purchased a similar set one year ago. I love them. They are very easy to clean and care for. They still look new. I would recommend them. Must follow instructions to keep them in good condition. You can look them up at Cuisinart's website and read the instruction book on this set before you purchase. I prefer this set to nonstick. You don't get the residue that a nonstick surface adds to your cooking.

The handle would not be ovenproof beyond keeping food warm in it (Oven 170 degrees).The nonstick feature is as advertised and a joy to use on the stove top. Clean up is a quick wipe and rinse, no scrubbing necessary.

It is NOT DW safe! In fact in the instructions, it specifically says to NEVER put it in the DW, and also never leave it soaking, and if any of this use conditions are not respected the pan may rust. I only clean mine after each use, (i had to season it before hand) there's a lot of videos on youtube oh now to do this.. so i only use a clean paper towel, and store it, and it keeps it nice and non stick. Good luck!

I am unaware of the health risks you mention but it is my practise to warm the pan a bit before I add oil or butter. It's more a matter of timing and routine though. I have ruined a non stick pan before, not a Calphalon, by forgetting I had turned the heat on. It ruined the non stick surface. This might be what the warning was about. However, I sometimes forget and have oiled it immediately with no variance in the results.

i believe it would be safe in a dishwasher...remember you use it on the stove. i put my non stick pans in the dishwasher all the time

It is not non-stick cookware. I use either a low or medium setting on my range and have never had a problem with anything sticking. It is great cookware, it cooks evenly and washing the pans is a breeze.

Yes it is. It hasn't scratched any of mine. The only thing you can't use in non-stick pans is any sort of metal. I did find that a couple of the pieces upon arrival were splintering. Especially the slotted spoon. Managed to cut the splinter off and sand it down, but all the same. But yes, it is safe for non-stick.

All of our products use a non-stick coating that is not Dupont Teflon. Our non-stick coating is safe when used for cooking. In addition, our electric products are designed to reach maximum temperatures well within limits that causes the non-stick coating to release fumes.

I use it for non stick cookware all the time. I liked my first one so well I bought one more. Handy to use and don't peel or erode as some of the others do.
