Will the nesting colander scratch the teflon surface?

The design of the attachment point for the removable handles is very rugged but, if not padded will most likely scratch the inside Teflon surface when stacked for transit. We use the foam padding to assure that the handle bracket doesn't contact the Teflon. Besides, anything that you can do to eliminate any rattling noise in the coach is a plus !!

I purchased this for our sailboat and so far no scratches. It came with thin sheets of styrofoam between the pans and I've continued to store them that way.

It hasn't happened to me yet, however I never clean the thing with anything more than a paper towel. The Teflon does a pretty great job.

The product should not scratch the pan if used properly. There should be water between the inset and the pan. That being said, I cook with cast iron...it does not easily scratch....

Yes... but it's such a low quality product. I bought it to replace my old one (from the 90s) that had scratches in the teflon, but worked perfectly. This one is so light, and it doesn't slide tightly onto whatever you're cooking like the other one did, so you end up with something that is over done on the top, but well done on the bottom...so disappointed!

If you use other steel pans, I suppose so. The DeBuyer pan bottom is smooth like most pans and shouldn't scratch.

Yes. U do have to be careful to use coated or wooden utensils so it won't scratch. It is easy to clean.

I don't believe so. I don't use teflon, but didn't think to look to see if it did. Pretty easy to keep clean - had mine for years now, and it has lasted - fingers crossed - it will live for a long time.

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

It's a non-stick coating of a higher quality than I've had on any other non-stick pan. I'm not sure if it's Teflon®. You could conceivably use metal utensils-a smooth metal spatula probably would not scratch it, for example-but non-metal (silicon, wood) is probably preferred.

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

It will not scratch th element. If iron cookware and its content is too heavy the element support will sag or break and will touch the oven liner.

If your stove griddle is coated, like with teflon, it would scratch the coating. If not, I think it would work great.

I have a new ceramic flat-top electric stove and the manual says DO NOT use glass cookware on this type of stove. It will scratch the surface.

Hello Jeffrey, my colander is not smooth on the outside. If you have a hard time cleaning it just let it soak in soapy dish water for a while and use a natural boar bristle brush to scrub the inside and outside easily. I bought a smaller colander to match and it like that too. That's just how the holes are punched into the metal. It's not a defect.I my answer was helpful.

I wouldn't. I love mine and would never take a chance on scratching it. There are all kinds of utensils made for nonstick pans that are great to use.

No If you use metal utensils It will scratch the pan's. I have the set and I use plastic, They are made for these type of pan's . Hope this helps.

That's exactly what I use mine on and I have had no issues. It cooks evenly and hasn't scratched my cooktop. I love this thing!
