Is it ok to use this immersion blender in the stainless steel pot? Will the blender scratch the bottom of the pot?

Yes it is fine for stainless steel. The blade is protected and never touches the pot

First of all, stainless steel pots can handle stirring with metal spoons and spatulas - this is even less abrasive than that. The cowl that surrounds the blades of the blender is what comes in contact with the pot. The edges are rounded and won't mar or scratch the pan. This is an amazing tool and I can't imagine not having one in my kitchen. Good luck!

I got this for my grandson and they have it on their stainless steel. It is an older frig and not worried about it. Nothing noticeable on the scratching. I have a new frig and probably wouldn't put it on mine just because I would worry about it scratching.

I have put my Cuisinart pot in the diswasher & had no problems. We own a restaurant and it is the perfect size for soups we make on a daily basis. I always use wooden utensils to avoid scratching.

This rack will not scratch your stainless steel roaster. It is heavily coated in plastic. I use it in my all clad roaster.

I have used them with an immersion blender and had no problem. They're very sturdy so I would be surprised if they cracked or broke with a hand-held mixer.

I use it for everything. The immersion blender attachment is MUCH higher quality than the immersion blender I had (I actually threw my other one away after using this one).

I think cord length is good. My outlets are a ways from my stove top (they have to be for code, right?!), but I have no problem reaching pots on the stove. I don't generally blend for a long period of time with my stick blender, so I can't really speak to the cooling off question. However, even my standard blender gets "hot" running for more than about 30 seconds, and it's a decent one (though certainly not top of the line), so I wouldn't shy away from this stick blender because of that concern.

First, the pot is huge, so it may not even fit in your dishwasher. In general it's a bad idea to put stainless steel cookware in the dishwasher, so it's really up to your comfort level. There's no coating to come off, so it's up to you. I don't like to because dishwasher detergents are abrasive and sort of "sand down" things over time. This the same reason I don't put good knives in the dishwasher.Short answer, yes, but it may affect performance/lifespan.

I have used the Grundig about 6 times now to blend various cream type soups. It works very good indeed. However, since I have never used a Cuisinart, I can't say whether or not it's as good. From my brief experience with it, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hand held immersion blender. Hope this helps you out in making a decision.

With a stainless steel inside, hot water and a cloth should be used to clean it. Any type of a brush could scratch it.

with just light scratches that no doubt will come with everyday use it should be no problem. I have used my with metal and plastic utensils and do have very light scratches. would think the scratch has to be pretty deep to expose the core.

The All Clad Immersion Blender has a stainless steel shaft and sharp blades. It would be fine for heavy soups. I wouldn't recommend blending ice with it.

Yes, I frequently use a stainless steel slotted spoon in my cast iron wok. The wok has not been "washed" in the traditional way since first cleaned and seasoned. The seasoning has built up and held up well and any minor abrasion from the metal spoon or a spatula has no noticeable effect. After use I wipe the surfaces clean and then apply a thin coat of Crisco. This has worked well for several years and I plan to keep it in use for many more. Happy cooking, Dave

While I don't own this particular set of pots, I have experience with other non-stick pots and pans. If your electric mixer beaters are metallic and accidentally make contact with the pot's interior surfaces, scarring and damage will result, something my husband didn't realize and did to one of my pots while whipping potatoes (guess the flaked up finish ended up in the food). I personally don't recommend the practice for that reason, even with plastic coated beaters.

The immersion stick is over 8 inches long made all of metal. I'd be hesitant to call it a blender stick because there are things I can do in a blender that this wouldn't be a good fit for like crushing ice. The product is great for specific things (like blending boiling soup).

Dear TJ, the Le Creuset website states that one can use their cookware on a glass top stove. Great, isn't it? They just state the obvious, that you should lift the pot, while moving it on the stove top, not slide it. You know that it could scratch the glass, I'm sure. Cheers, Marsha

I think using any cast iron may scratch a glass-top stove. I would check with the maker of the stove for sure
