Does Le Creuset show metal utensil marks? If so, how can the marks be cleaned?

I don't have many metal utensils. We use regular forks, knives, etc. and haven't had a problem using these. No problem with marks.

I have not had a problem with marks made by pan movement on the surface. I recommend cleaning the cooktop with cleaners made for glass top stoves. I am very pleased with this product. I use it daily.

I would *not* use this on Le Creuset enameled cast iron. For their enameled cast iron, Le Creuset recommends only soft scrubbers or brushes, and specifically not metallic scrubbers. http://www.lecreuset.com/care#ci-cleaningRecommendations for their stoneware can be found here: http://www.lecreuset.com/care#stnwr-cleaning

Yes. This is from the Corelle instructions; "Wash Corelle® dinnerware items by hand or in an automatic dishwasher. Load items to avoid bumping against other items during cycle. To remove gray or rust marks, clean with non-abrasive cleanser. If scouring is necessary, use only plastic or nylon cleaning pads with non-abrasive cleansers. DO NOT allow stoneware or porcelain mugs to soak/stand in water for an extended period of time. Applied heat after soaking may cause glaze cracking."

Yes, you can use metal utensils. I scrub the inside with a steel wool scrubber and the outside with a softer nylon scrubber. The outside is a chrome-like and shiny; the inside is a satin finish. Stainless steel is a hard metal and very durable. Never use chlorine bleach on stainless steel. You can use powdered cleansers such as Bar Keeper's Friend on any burned on food on the inside or outside of the pan. Stainless steel can be scratched but not very easily. If you like to cook this pan is an investment because it should last forever, scratches and all! Also, care instructions come with the pan. Hope this helps you with your decision : - )

I've had mine for several years and have had no problems with the chrome; it looks the same as it did as the day I bought it. There has been no spotting, pitting, or discoloration. It heats faster than any I've had before, including my Le Creuset which had to be replaced 3 times due to corrosion inside. I don't know where it was made but, considering the quality of the product, I doubt it was made in China.

I have scrub pads that I use on my ceramic stove that I use to clean the grill pan. You can use metal utensils on it without damaging it (on the grill). I have never had anything stick to the under pan, so clean-up is super easy. I've never seen grill marks on the meat, but, honestly, I haven't looked for them either.

I've had mine for about two months and I don't have any scratches on any of them with my husband, my sitter and me using them. We are careful not to use any metal utensils on them and wash with cloth, sponge or fabric-based scour pad if needed (and it rarely is) both inside and out. I gave away nearly $600 worth of All-Clad cookware after getting this set and I couldn't be happier. It's so worth the extra effort to keep it looking nice.

The serrated groves are not deep nor are they hard to clean. I do not have any marks at all on any of the pieces. I put them in the dishwasher and have had no problems.

I've had my set for about a month and so far I haven't scratched anything, and I've always thought I was rather forceful when using knives. That being said I'd say no, utensils generally shouldn't mark the set up.

I don't think it does if it is cared for properly. I don't use metal utensils. Start it on low heat with either olive oil, vegetable oil or butter - no sprays. And make sure the pan cools completely before you wash it with a sponge and a little soap. No soft-scrub or harsh cleaners. I just used mine for eggs and they just slid out of the pan. Hopes this helps.

I've been using mine daily for about five months now and I see no visible scratches. I have ice cubes and almonds and nuts whirring in there regularly, and those are fairly hard items, but remember it's stainless steel. Think about what has to scratch that. All that said, the surface is not 100% pristine, there is some slight discoloration, but I'm assuming that could be cleaned. (Think about how stainless steel silverware discolors over time.) In fact, I'd love some advice on how to better clean this thing. Anyway, hope all this helps!

If it's a surface stain, Soft Scrub Cleanser might do the trick. I use it on my white Pfaltzgraff dinnerware for food and silverware marks.

Go to le creuset website...http://cookware.lecreuset.com/cookware/contactus_10151_-1_20002....request an RMA# for service.... call 800# or email. Do not send it w/out the RMA# they will provide....it will only be returned.Good luck....they do respond quickly, and will likely replace your Screwpull, as that what they have done for me.

Elbow grease...lol...the silica is what removes the minor scratches by its abrasive/polishing action, what removes stains is in question??? Detergents what ever ones those be, maybe the same thing that is in Techron...anyway, I am a quantum mechanic not an organic chemist but highly recommend wearing gloves and not breathing too many fumes. The Le Creuset pan cleaner works pretty well too for cleaning the Kohler sinks, maybe both products come from the same fountain....

I would contact Le Creuset directly. They are pretty good with replacement and warranty items.
