Do the buns have to be removed by running a knife around the edge? If so, does the pan scratch and rust?

These usa pans are the best you will ever use. The buns on my pan have not stuck to the pan, the only thing I noticed was that they were a little more brown on the bottom than on the top of the buns

No i didn't have to use anything to remove the buns. They just came out on their own.

no.. don't even need cooking spray... as a matter of fact I would recommend you don't us the spray or butter or any no stick agent.. the buns just fall out when you turn it up side down... and it cleans up really easy.. but if your looking for a pan that makes hamburger buns that look like what you buy in the store.. this won't do it.. these pans came with out instructions on how to cook with them.. where ever your batter or dough touches the pan will cook like a cake pan.. the sides will darken along with the bottom..

I have not had a scratching and rusting issue but I would not use a metal knife to remove the buns. If sticking is a problem try using a plastic utensil. If you lightly grease the pan you shouldn't have a serious problem with your baked goods sticking to the pan. When using a dark pan I usually bake at a lower than recommended temperature to avoid over cooking the bottom and edges.

Nope. I used a no-stick skillet and it just sits there. Now if you pressed down on the insert and dragged it around the surface of the pan, I suppose it could cause scratches.

I use non-stick pans and haven't had any trouble with scratching. Since there is water in the pan, the poacher kind floats while the eggs are cooking.

We've had ours since April 2014 and have used them several times (have baked 3 cakes since Thanksgiving) There has been no peeling or rust and I wash them in the dishwasher. Of course we only use them for cakes and use plastic utensils.

The rack came with the pan and I have never had a problem with rust on either item.

I don't like to use any knives on my pots and pans, especially ones with a non-stick coating. That stuff will scratch off with forks or anything metal. Not good for your food or your health...I have these great flexible cutting boards that you just rinse off and they don't take up a lot of space.

No. If you clean this bake pan as per instructions it will continue to look like new. I love this pan, and intend to purchase another one. Food does not stick to it and it is easy to clean. I do not put it into a dish washer. I recommend that only you use the pan. I let my wife use it and she took a knife to cut her baked item into pieces. This left marks and scratches in my aluminum pan. Aluminum is soft metal and do not use another metal with this pan. Use a wooden or plastic utensil to remove baked food. Now I have a marked pan. I do not let anyone touch my pan. It is too expensive to ruin. But my pan bakes well with it's scratches. The food bakes better with this pan. You will love it.

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.

An Aluminum Coating plated upon the steel pan to render it "rust resistant", but not rust proof.Good care of the pan, washing, drying & air drying, will result in a long serviceable life. I have a 9"x9" 'cornbread' pan, that is over 60 years old & I continue to use it, although most of the 'aluminization' has worn off over the decades..... but no rust (proper care, once again).

I have not noticed scratches as it is stainless. I do not throw pots and pans into the sink but I expect to see normal wear from daily use. Bottom grid keeps the sink bottom looking like new.

It will probably scratch with stacking and/or dishwasher use in time. It is a product made in China. I have to say if I had known that I wouldn't have purchased it. Be aware that the size of the pan will not correspond to normal sizing for recipes so keep that in mind when using it. I took a picture of a USA 9x5 bread pan to show how much smaller the USA pan is to the Faberware but I couldn't figure out how to post it. It's probably fine for a year or two use.

My original porcelain pans that came with the range have rusted and need replacing. I am shopping now for some. So yes Linda, rust is an issue.

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....

The only issue I have had with the coating is when I was running late from work and asked my 14 year old to shred the meat. I should have been more specific because she used 2 metal forks and did it in the pan. Filled with scratches during it's second use. However I have had no further issues with those scratches getting worse. Have seared meat in it a couple times without any issues.

When it says, butter the pan, I would do just that. You can take off the rust with Olive Oil or vegetable oil. Remove the rust and continue to use the pan. But butter it. If You would like to cover the bottom of the pan, cut a circle of parchment paper and put on the bottom. But in order to made the cake or whatever come out of the pan, you must oil or butter it.

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.

I never noticed any imperfections, and I never use metal utensils on the pan. I've had it for a few months, and it's probably the best I've ever used.
