Can you use metal utensils (spatula) on the mat?

You could, but I would be gentle not to rip the material. Nothing sticks to it so if I am making cookies I generally just pick them up with my hands.

You can use metal utensils. I still have so many plastic, and you can still use those. Just don't leave them near the heat or touching surfaces very long.

I believe you could probably use both items on the pastry mat. I have not done so yet, butI am a baker and your cutters and pastry wheel are essentially just cutting through the dough. Just don't exert any more pressure on the mat than is necessary.

Yes, you can use stainless utensils. Obviously, don't be crazy about it. These are beautiful pans to cook with. To maintain the fantastic even heating be particular about keeping them clean inside AND out.

Not something I've tried, but I don't know why you couldn't go at it with a pair of scissors. It's recommend to hand wash, so it isn't like the dishwasher would tear it up. (I assume we're talking about the mat, not the actual pan.)

The pan is solid, shiny stainless steel (no Teflon coating), so you can use any type of spatula, including metal. As with any stainless steel product, sharp knives will eventually scratch the metal, but the minor scratches will not effect the performance of the pan.

suppose you could but to prevent damage to the ceramic coating would suggest either wood or plastic utensils

no you cannot. The instruction book warns against them. Nylon and wood utensils are recommended.

I didn't use the spatulas for the sugar work, but I did use the mats when we made toffee. They seemed to do just fine.

Absolutely. You only need to avoid metal utensils when the interior is a non-stick material.

Soak it for as long as you can and then scrape whatever is left. A hard plastic spatula usually works, but since it's stainless, I think it's ok to use metal to scrape it clean as well.

Hi Ahmed, yes this set is perfect for those types of recipes. The silicone mats are heat resistant and non stick so your caramels and toffe will lift right off them. The spatulas are also non stick and heat resistant so perfect for working with these types of foods. I hope this answer helps! Regards, Matt - StarPack Team

I use only non-scratch (i.e., plastic) implements on non-stick surfaces. There are plenty of plastic spatulas and rubber scrapers on the market. My pan is a year old and still looks like new.

Sure, plastic ones work fine.I've used metal ones,but only with soft dough that didn't require much pressure. I generally keep sharp tools away from the mat as I want it to last for a good long time.

Yes you can! I have used my metal spatula and it's no problem. I love the stainless steel...it's so heavy...I LOVE IT!!! I use a knife as well and I have had my pan for over a year and there isn't any real deep marks for it....just very little. You will love the pan!!!

Absolutely not. Any damage to the mat, it should be discarded, according to the manufacturer. Fire issue maybe? I'd just buy a new pan to fit the mat.

yes, use a sharp blade. I did trim one to use as part of a collage, but if you want to use the mat as intended (on a desk) it would be best to order a size that closes fits your dest, as the edges of the mat, if cut, could present a hazard.
