Can you use stainless steel spatulas on it. I have done that and I notice some scratches on the inner surface?

Use only Teflon & non-abrasive utensils. Although at Costco I was told that this cookware was durable & can use metal utensils. It was not true. Treat this like any other non-stick cookware. If you have to call there customer service, be fully prepared to get the "3rd degree." I rarely use my MasterClad because of the cost & how it really doesn't stand up to heavy cooking. I either use cheaper non-stick or stainless steel & will only use MasterClad in an absolute emergency.

When I bought it I was told there isn't anything on earth you can't make a mark on..it is metal utensil safe and it won't come off or lose it's non-stick performance. .so if you don't mind cosmetic marks on your pan go ahead and use metal utensils.

The guy said it could scratch but it will never peel or flake even if you do. It's not like the nasty teflon I've had in the past. I used a metal spatula my grandmother gave once and it was fine but I only use bamboo and silicon regularly. I have a mark on it but it still work great and no peeling.

Sorry, I gave it as a gift, so I have no idea. I would say, however, if you are using all stainless pans, go ahead, but if you are using anything else, you could scratch your pans.

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 use acrylic tongs in this bucket. I think steel tongs would detract from its clean lines and would definitely scratch it

So far we have had no problems with scratching, When using my cast iron pans I do use extra caution and only use them on low and medium temps. The stainless steel pots and pans which we use most have not left any scratches or marks. Any splashes or spill overs have been easy to clean with Weiman Glass top cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. Hope this helps

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.

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!

Because of the dark coating, you don't need to polish them. You do need to use plastic or silicon utensils to avoid chipping or scratching the inner lining. As to cleaning, I have found that just dish soap and warm water work well. If the mess is a sticky one, I soak it for a few minutes and the mess wipes right out.

NO, it will scratch....You need a plastic-type spatula good for non-stick surfaces with a high temperature rating.

Yes, you can. I used metal utensils in all my hard anodized pots and pan and never had any problems with scratches.

I bought a set of the Henckels International Everedge Plus Stainless Steel knives at a thrift store today. They don't seem to have ever been used, but all knives had spots of rust on them. Low-grade stainless WILL rust. DO NOT use a plastic scrubbie or the scrubbie back of a sponge because that hard plastic will scratch the metal. I used ZUD cleaner on a wet paper towel, with a lot of elbow grease, and got all the rust spots off without scratching the metal or the writing on the blade. I also use the ZUD on my good stainless pans to keep the bottoms looking like new.

The book says you can, but I don't think I am going to. Probably something like a metal spatula would be okay, but not anything that could slip and scratch.

Yes you can use metal utensils and no, it doesn't scratch easily. It is a quality pan.

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.

I would not recommend using any metal utensil. I did so last week as I was in a hurry grabbed the wrong utensil and flipped an egg; found upon washing the fry pan I had scratched the surface. It was minor but nonetheless after using countless times I had caused this one scratch. I otherwise, am very impressed with this fry pan. LJM

They scratch. I returned mine and got the stanless steel which are wonderful. The MC2 ones also have handled which heat up
