Can you use metal utensils in these pans without scratching the surface?

No you cannot. A couple of the pans have warped so now they do not set level and they spin when stirring my food.

No metal utensils are allowed,the right utrnsils are made of plastic they don't scratch

I would not recommend using metal utensils. The teflon lining is delicate and metal will wear it down causing the loss of the coating. Wooden and plastic is your best bet.

Metal will scratch the non stick coating so be very careful! If you decide to invest in this set it would be best to also grab a set of wood, rubber, or other alternate utensils.

I wouldn't. I love mine and would never take a chance on scratching it. There are all kinds of utensils made for nonstick pans that are great to use.

I don't see the harm. Just use a non-metallic utensil to avoid scratching it.

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.

No, you can not use metal utensils on it. I use all plastic or wood. I really like using these pans. They are the best I've ever used. I've even burned food in them and they clean up really easy.

No, they will scratch the finish. I use melamine spoons and flat turners found in most kitchen stores.

I haven't found them to be any more durable than other non-stick pans. Although they advertise that you can use metal utensils, I found that they scratched easily, and then lost their non-stick surface. I think we were conned into thinking that they are better quality because they are Danish, but I definitely haven't found that to be the case!

It is not recommended that you use metal utensils, Just get a set of plastic utensils and they will work find.

They have metal ridges on the bottoms of the pans that can scratch the surface of a glass top stove. I returned my set for that very reason.

No metal. It will scratch the surface. These pans are good but you need to coat them often or the food will stick.

While I have not tested mine with metal utensils, I would not recommend metal. Use a good plastic spatula. I use mine for pancakes and it is great. Heats very evenly.

You could if you are careful. I think if it is held at a steeper angle it probably would scratch. I use mine on nonstick, but they are scratch resistant.

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 : - )

In my opinion you can use stainless, wood or silicone utensils with a SS pan. When using metal utensils try to avoid scratching the cooking surface however.

The shelves are metal but they won't scratch your pans. They are very smooth and never touch the inside of the pan. I have not had any problems with mine and all of my pans are non-stick of one type or the other.
