Will the non-stick coating scratch off similar to the dark non-stick pans on the market?

Don't know. Sorry, I've only used once and had trouble with the crust slipping from the edging. Probably me, but I find myself returning to my glass pie pans.

I've had my pan for over 5 years and I just looked at it and the coating is virtually untouched. There's scratches, but I didn't even know there was a silicon coating until I looked carefully. THis is a GREAT pie pan. Pies come out beautifully with this pan.

I am not willing to scour the pan with anything that would scratch it to find out. I don't want to risk ruining the pan.

Hard to explain, but there is no teflon coating on it but I have used the pan extensively so it is a well used pan. I like to call it seasoned and it works just as good today as when I first started to use it.

I have several of the USA pans and the coating does not come off if you follow the care directions for washing. I don't use a metal utensil either on them. They are excellent pans for baking.

We have had no issues with scratches. I'm not sure what you mean by "full stainless steel", the cooking surface is all stainless, only the lower heat effective area is layered. We have been really happy with this set and believe it will probably be the last pan set we ever buy. It's a huge plus to be cooking on American made cookware made with US steel (minus the lids). Hope this helps.

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

I don't think so. Out of curiosity I took a sharp knife and scratched it. Looks the same beneath as on the surface. I can't tell that it even has a coating. I've only had this for a few months but it's been knocked around in the gadget drawer and run through the dishwasher. Looks new.

Hi Arwen. We have not yet used this is non stick pots, mostly we have used it in the cup which comes along with and it is very handy and effective. Everyday My wife keeps telling me how good it is. Having said that, i think there is a strong possibility that there will be scratches on non-stick coating pots!!

Well, I've had my sets for about 8 years now, but you can't tell I've had them that long; no scratches, no chips, no burnt marks no nothing. I have burnt vegetables to black charcoal inside my pots several times, it peels right off after soaking the pot in hot soapy water overnight. There is no non-stick coating on this line of cook ware. People are mistaken. It's all made together in one piece, made of a special type of material that's non-stick, it's not a coating like Teflon. So there is no peeling or scraping off. I use my skillets, pots on a regular basis. There is a possibility for the pots, pans or skillets to chip, but it's gotta be from something really hard, that caused the chipping and if it chips you can see the metal all the way through. On one of my orders the skillet was chipped, so I sent it right back and received another. No matter what your this line of bake ware is always replaceable with the company, despite when or where you purchased it.

No. The nonstick coating doesn't interact with food and cleans up so easily. No need to risk damaging it with scouring, sponge and soap is all it takes. I use high temp silicon tools to cook with it and the coating has not scratched in years of use, and I cook a lot. And I use this pan at least a few times a week. Even though I have very spendy Bourget copper cookware, this is the most used pan in my kitchen. Top recommendation, regardless of price, the bonus is that it's a very inexpensive pan. Don't know how it would hold up to metal tools, but there's lots of great high temp silicon tools out there that will be very easy on the pan - so why take the chance?

I use only non-scratch (i.e., plastic) implements on non-stick surfaces. There are plenty of plastic spatulas and rubber scrapers on the market. My pan is a year old and still looks like new.

I haven't had the pan for over a year yet so unfortunately I can't answer you on that. I have had it for 2 months and so far it has been extremely durable. I use the Ozeri pan cover that came with it anytime I store the pan away so it won't get scratched easily.

They" make all these 'non-stick' pans look like they are "all that and a bag of chips." Not so. I have been super conscientious in my use of this pan; I don't use high heat, I let it come to temperature, etc. What I have learned is that the hype lasts as you described. I did read somewhere that one should always use a coating before cooking. Are these pans better than less expensive one? Who knows?

it's not a coating that scratches off. it is more like a non stick sauté pan. We have had many fun family dinners with the raclette.

Hi Tina, It says not to with non stick pans becuase over time it will wear off, and we don't. Washing by hand is super easy though since nothing sticks to it. We jut use a soft dish brush and we have had no issues with them so far. Great set!

I haven't found them to be any more durable than other non-stick pans. Although they advertise that you can use metal utensils, I found that they scratched easily, and then lost their non-stick surface. I think we were conned into thinking that they are better quality because they are Danish, but I definitely haven't found that to be the case!

I've had this set for about 2 years now, I think. The nonstick coating DOES eventually come off, so then I just toss it or throw in recycling bin. Given the price, I'm fine with getting nonstick pans every couple of years. I've even had All-Clad nonstick and that comes off, too, so why pay too much for nonstick?Hope this helps. I also like the Circulon pans, too.

Most non stick coatings do not go over 500 degrees but there is not any information with the pan stating that as it is well known on most all non stick coatings that if you go above it that the coating will begin to peel and turn dark.

It's not coated with anything, but I haven't had a problem with food sticking to it or it getting scratched up. It will damage non-stick pans, so be careful.

Mine has a dark non-stick coating. It is an excellent pizelle maker. Try some of the other recipes.
