Are the range keeled protectors washable? I want to put them between my cast iron skillets and am worried that they will absorb the oil.

They are washable, but... Between oiled cast iron they will soak up the oil. I have not washed a lot, however, a few washes they probably will separate and deform. They are thick felt with silicone buttons. Much like the kids grippy socks.

I haven't tried them for that use. They're really rather delicate and break apart easily, so I don't use them much. I kind of doubt they'd hold up to grease. Maybe try Dawn with a nonstick scrubber dipped in hot water. Just a guess.

I have washed them, (and then just air dried them), but I'm not sure how they'd handle grease. They're definitely not waterproof though. I like them because they're relatively cheap, yet well made.

Not so far. I hand wash it, though. It might have a scratch or two. Things don't stick much, and I use that stainless steel scrubbing powder if I have to clean it up good, like when oil gets up the side and turns black and sticky? I really, really like this skillet.

Linda, I looked at my skillets and no where on them does it say they are oven safe, and I have never tried. I do own the all stainless steel version, and those I have put in the oven before. Sorry not much help! But I LOVE these skillets!

I have washed the ones i bought several times and they continue to provide protection for furniture. I highly suggest that you wash in cold water and do NOT dry on a "high" temp.

I use these pans on my Thermador glass cooktop without a problem. They are no different than my All-Clad pans from that perspective. The value-added they bring is that they can be conditioned to become a non-stick pan just like cast iron but without the concern that they will scratch the surface of the cooktop.

I use them on my non-stick griddle but am carefully not to slide them so as not to scratch the griddle. I have not used them in any other pan but would not hesitate to do so.

I washed them before I used them.... but I wash all kitchenware before I use it :-) I have not put any oil on them yet and they have held up great so far!

Yes. I have not had any problems with mine. i do Always hand wash immediately after using (i.e. I do not leave them with food dried and stuck to them overnight, and I store them in a flatware chest so that they are protected and not rubbing against each other. They are a beautiful set and I am very careful with them as k want them to look new every time I use them!

I NEVER put anything copper bottomed even water long term. And I do not trust washer for nonstick surfaces. These are good quality cookware. Take good care.

I'm not sure what All-Clad would say but I think they would recommend against it. Personally, I wouldn't use them as I am convinced they shorten the life of your non-stick pan or appliance. When non-stick surfaces become scratched they lose some of their non-stick qualities and the non-stick substance can begin to flake into what you are cooking. That is not a good thing. I have had great luck with non-stick utensils from Williams-Sonoma and Calphalon as well as some wooden utensils. I reserve my metal utensils for my BBQ grill, plain cast iron pans and griddles and my stainless steel and French iron pans.

they should be since they are made by all-clad...the finish doesnt rub off at all..even if it scratches it still retains its nonstick properties,all clad uses exclusive nonstick coating for emeril and their own brand..will not wear off, i actually have 2 of these pans i bought at marshalls to try before i open my new set and so far they havent even scratched or anything and i use them for everything including oven use up to 410 degrees. they are excellent pans. they are sturdy and have a heft to them but not too heavy just solid good pans..no dishwasher needed,,just use a little warm soapy water and a sponge and wipe off and dry..

I think that depends slightly on the level of heat that you're using. I use them on an electric range, and if you crank it up to full, they can get a bit uncomfortable to handle. They don't burn you just by touching them, but you'd grab a towel or mitt before picking it up. Otherwise they don't get particularly hot, and I pick up the pan to stir things without any problems (even at about 3/4 heat, which is the highest I usually ever go).

Yes these are pretty absorbent Actually. They seem to want to fall apart once wet so I wouldn't suggest soaking them but maybe applying the oil directly onto the pads.

I have some of these and I HAVE washed them in the dishwasher in the top rack with the heated dry turned off. I don't do it often. I imagine they will, over time, haze from the abrasive soaps used in dishwashers. If your dishwasher is super hot I can't promise they won't deform in the heat - I feel the risk is small and so far have not had any regrets about washing them, the few time this has been done.

I disposed of those materials sometime ago. However, in examing the cookware and covers I see no reason why they would not be dishwasher safe. The material, coatings and construction are certainly similar to other items that are dishwasher compatible. If I had a dishwasher I would not hesitate to place them in it for cleaning, the problem would be one of geometry--size and shape rather that material compatibility. I wash them in a sink with exceptionally hot water, the water heater temperature is set at 160F to 180F which is higher than 120F that is normally recommend for safety purposes.
